definitely remember you may. not apply their war story number. during the early years of independence day the massive social program that you saw expansion in the education sector building of clinics in the us you know that budget sort of thing stories are. present but. depending on new generation our outlook will look at. those. different terms there's a year on one on one event and or shows a man was on drugs they live but age of the liberation struggle and the arc that their values for which their liberation was ford's where it ended up the ended up being is hundreds. or sell vision to be. on the old dole for depression on the order. that was just at this point art.

what do you think ultimately led to his downfall disaster in 27000 the suggestion is of course that that the fact he sought to establish grace mugabe his 2nd wife as the head of a dynasty as his successor was what brought about his downfall do you think that is a case. yeah i think you lose you don't fall. in that last lick and from we vary as you do do to grace mugabe a young person compared to your brother was. the last few days but when you look at each year more profoundly i think the easy down for a manager to throw their fact was telling in an hour when it was time to go about them and got do should give the love to this little 990 there are only little did left you or your buddy decided to stay on and on and it was very all through the

extern to the t.v. when we left you left you did use. disgrace you left on the faces of the military who who got was respected by easy for miley. in the west robert mugabe was also and you as a pariah because of his controversial policies like land reform but in many parts of africa i think you would agree with me he was still the liberation he roll who was able to articulate the resentment that many felt about western powers policies towards the continent he was a my it's beyond zimbabwe's borders and i think until until he was ousted that was still the case does that resonate with zimbabweans do they do they understand that the fact that he was admired beyond. borders. he has said that not doubt that because of why diminish and of course i was the guy can only did best on the used parts is that anybody should nor you know and could

probably do something stand on what he digs during the face you few years of independence don't know the time there was also a blame mission in terms of he even. presiding officer lynch doug was effected. on the people of much of illinois and you will remember reports to 20000 people died in the media one thing i'd change and out there in the end of the book without windeatt my surprise and so on and so forth but getting bigger than not it didn't duck you when sticking to yes you not freak out people would take you know that you know why don't we say you they're not going to defend against it in a way after the ages you decided to do you disagree don't learn to do one what one would you say study for about the people enough the cops could also be sick to always unobvious more of a gun doesn't feel full for fun tough easy and he said he has been an effective robot dunder to the extent it doesn't tell your story there's not been told when

fairly mixed picture across central and the northwest of europe somebody good place guys that image mean more eastern sections and across much of the mediterranean however you can see this this is actually water spout that was captured just off the coast of malta in the central mediterranean and of course that is quite literally a tornado over water always the best place to see a tornado now as we go through friday we have goals and warnings across the alps this is a bit thunderstorms strong winds also some damaging hail and then notice across the northwest another fairly large area of low pressure pushing in so this will bring the wind and the rain along with cloudy skies through much of the u.k. northern france the low countries and on into scandinavia by saturday it really is a rather more widespread unsettled picture so much of central europe is saying the cloud the showers and again there is the chance of those thunderstorms but just to

the east of there some nice sunshine and very warming kid with a high of 23 degrees celsius and all that africa is mostly fine and dry to much is there not too bad we've got 27 algeria's 29 celsius in tunis what we will see as we head into south that is just the chance of one or 2 showers with this cloud just pushing into northern sections of morocco but a nice 10 robot with hot 26 and that she celsius in tunis. you're watching al jazeera live from doha

a reminder of our top story this hour the former president of zimbabwe robert mugabe has died at the age of 95 he'd been in poor health in a hospital in singapore mugabe served as the head of the country for 37 years before being deposed in a military coup in 2017. let's turn our attention now to other world news and hurricane dorian is still battering the east coast of the united states after causing destruction across the bahamas at least 4 people have been killed in the united states and 200000 homes are without power the storm is not a category one hurricane but coastal areas of north carolina and virginia remain on a ledge as it moves north by far the greatest impact however has been in the bahamas where at least 30 people are confirmed dead and the country's prime minister has called the devastation a historic tragedy these are satellite images taken before and after dorian made landfall they give you some idea of the scale of the destruction in the island nation as we've said at least 30 people are confirmed dead but that number is

rising as rescue workers recover more bodies nearly half of the homes on the worst hit island of abaco and grand bahama are either destroyed or severely damaged. u.k. prime minister boris johnson has declared he'd rather be dead in a ditch then ask for another delay for break said he made the blunt remark after suffering heavy defeats in parliament and being abandoned by his own brother who is quitting the government under simmons has a report from london. boris johnson may have suffered a humiliating defeat at attempts to call a general election but here in the north of england you could be forgiven for thinking the campaign had already begun do you want this government to take it's not. the 31st or do you want john recall being a labor party to go to that crucial summit in brussels table the 17th can you make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another tonight yes and so he can and would you like that i'd rather be dead in

a ditch it's a good steak tail johnson's day had started in downing street with a visit from u.s. vice president mike pence and this was the message from the white house the united states is ready willing and able to immediately negotiate a free trade agreement with the u.k. the national this is not the table as far as i gave. and. we're not using all that already. we have we have a already if you have already. then light sounds off the remark aimed at the labor opposition leader i think. thank you all very much but it's time to move on and i thought i was writing the passive story i think apart there's nothing funny about the latest resignation and the prime minister's brother joe johnson quitting as junee a business minister he tweeted in recent weeks i've been told between family loyalty

and the national interest it's an unresolvable tension and time for others to take on my roles like the prime minister was asked about his brother's departure. if your own brother come back q why should anyone else joe doesn't agree with me about the european union because it's a it's an issue that oversee de divides families in the vides everybody but i think war joe would agree is it we need to get on and sort this thing out and so what next all seem cept for boris johnson to again the seek parliamentary approval to call the election next monday but does the label leader jeremy corben accept that all scupper it again room boxing in boris johnson even more than he is already underage simmons out 0 or westminster so done has its 1st female foreign minister abdullah is among for women included in the cabin it which is separate from the saw

fron council that would lead the country until elections within 3 years heba morgan rate for some cottam after days of deliberation by the country's prime minister the names of members for sudan's 1st cabinet of ministers appointed since the ousting of longtime president already bashir were announced. either to try to you know us and knew that you know. to some. we start today a new face for a country of free manage well it will pave the way for us to build a sudan that we are all proud of the 1st priority of the transitional government will be ending conflict and this decree confirms the appointment of ministers for the transitional period so that a cabinet made up of 20 members include sudan's 1st female foreign minister along with 3 other female ministers is. the prime minister said it was a recognition for the role of women in the revolution which started in december with anti-government protests and led to the overthrow of bashir by the military

april he also said that 2 seats in the cabinets will be filled in the coming days with further consultations needed to ensure representation of every region in the country the cabinet and bill by sudan's prime minister will ask for the transitional agreement implemented the vision of the protesters those include justice and accountability for the alleged crimes committed by for sure the government since it came to power in 1989 they're also calling for peace in the conflict zone in the country but implementing these changes may come with some challenges. sudan's revolutionary front a coalition of armed groups and a part of the forces of freedom and change coalition that signed the power sharing agreement in august had previously expressed reservations over the agreement it says the deal signed needs to address the core issues of the conflicts and the impact of war but i didn't know neither here nor here to go we need refugees to be able to return home and we need them to be compensated we want to rebuild sudan and restructure its economy and the issue of bringing pace is a long one and will take effect from all the countries including the international

community. and hours before the announcement protesters took to the streets once again. hundreds demonstrated in front of the country's high judiciary court urging on an independent judiciary during the transitional period to ensure their demands during the 8 month protests are not forgotten. it was you know today we came out demanding an independent judiciary to represent us and we're anyone who turns to that can get their rights not like the former regime where your rights were oppressed and the judicial system was bribed and politicized. here. today were demanding justice for those who've been killed we've got in the civilian government some people give their lives for it to happen that shouldn't have been the cause so those who are responsible for crimes must be true that's what i want from the transitional government. the government says it's working to build a new future after 30 years of rule under the former regime and present sudan in

a new light protesters are not about to forget what it took to bring about that change people morgan to 0. south africa's president is promising to deal with the prejudice she admits is fueling riots and attacks on migrants from elsewhere on the continent have been reprisal incidents in countries including nigeria prompting south africa to close its embassy there mobs began noting and setting fire to foreign owned businesses in johannesburg and pretoria on sunday migrants are accused of taking scarce jobs in south africa where unemployment is at nearly 30 percent. no amount of anger and frustration and grievance can justify such acts of wanton destruction and criminality. there can be no excuse for the attacks on the homes and businesses of foreign nationals china is warning that the end could be coming for hong kong's

anti-government protesters beijing has said it would never allow the chaos to continue indefinitely prompting concerns that chinese soldiers could be deployed on the streets of hong kong when he looks at that prospect and the role of the international community. was as protesters have marched in gathered in different parts of the city over the past 3 months. one of the cries has been stand with hong kong 2. it's a call to their own people and to the international community to support their action against the increasing control of china that runs hong kong under a one country 2 systems policy of sorts solidarity with taiwan which china views as a rogue province that it will eventually retake what. we. all call lam winkie used to sell books in hong kong that were

critical of the chinese government and in 2015 was detained in china for 8 months this year he decided to leave for taiwan to avoid the possibility of being sent back to the mainland under hong kong's now withdrawn extradition bill which was the catalyst for the protests. the power of the hong kong government comes from beijing and it's become a dictatorship the people have no voting rights so the government can ignore the opinions and demand of this is one of them there have been protests both pro and anti china in many cities around the world the government in beijing says the movement is backed by foreign powers who want to destabilize china the main suspect is the united states which is involved in its own dispute with china but don't know from administration has the hong kong crisis. to the trade negotiations so be doing is also under pressure not to be seen to be independent of hong kong if.

beijing has warned that it may get tough soon prompting concerns it could deploy soldiers who are based in hong kong since the start of the protests many world leaders have expressed concern about the situation in hong kong and urged china to respect the rights of the people here those words of course given encouragement to the protesters but those world leaders know that given china's economic power there's only so much pressure they can apply for now china seems to be willing to be patient in the hope that the momentum of the protests will fade along with the international attention on the streets those fighting for the city's future are determined to achieve the opposite wayne hey al jazeera hong kong. and again i'm fully back to bear with the headlines on al-jazeera the former president of zimbabwe robert mugabe has died at the age of 95 had been in poor

health in a singapore hospital. the head of the country for 37 years before being deposed in a military court in 2017 harewood time has more from johannesburg. people praised him for trying to roll out health care to poor blacks and bobbins he was a teacher and when he came into power in 1980 he really tried to make sure as many black people as possible got a good education which is why some people in africa still say zimbabwe is where the highest literacy rates on the continent and he's also credited for taking land from the white minority and giving it to blacks but then his critics say something went wrong the land that was taken a lot of it is a list of gone to senior ruling official parties some of his friends some of his family and children it's also that he presided over decades of corruption in state's structures and some people also say he was behind a lot of the illusion of duction and human rights abuses and of course the biggest thing is that a lot of you blame him for ruining what was once

a prosperous economy hurricane dorian is still battering the east coast of the united states after causing destruction across the bahamas at least 4 people have been killed in the u.s. the storm is now a category one hurricane but colson areas of north carolina and virginia remain on alert as it moves north by far the greatest impact has been in the bahamas where at least 30 people are confirmed dead british prime minister boris johnson will continue his campaign for a snap election in scotland on friday and those 8 johnson said he would rather be dead in a ditch then ask for another break sit delay that was in response to the parliamentary progression of a bill that would force him to do just that so don has its 1st female foreign minister one of 4 women appointed to the new cabinet the new prime minister who was sworn in last month unveiled his picks in khartoum a sovereign council will leave the country until elections are held within 3 years you're up to date with headlines on al-jazeera have more news for you in under 30

minutes time coming up next it's inside story serious. we are going to ready give to the people who will be attending the minimal workshop we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter on the ground 0. braced what he called a do or die strategy but leader boris johnson faces double defeat as parliament rejects his plans for bread and a snap election will he hang on to fight another day and what now for britain's plan to leave the e.u. this is inside story.

welcome to the program more than 3 years ago a majority of voters in the u.k. said they wanted to leave the e.u. but what followed has been a lot less clear british prime minister boris johnson failed to break the latest deadlock over bragg's it on wednesday m.p.'s voted down his attempts to trigger a snap election they also passed a bill blocking the possibility of a no deal exit from the e.u. johnson had said he was willing to consider that if no new withdrawal deal was agreed so where does that leave the braggs it process there's a lot to cover with our guest but 1st this report from andrew symonds in london. another defeat for boris johnson already on the back foot with the rebellion and his party and the opposition taking over the parliamentary timetable the eyes of the right $327.00 knows the act 299.

within minutes boris johnson was on his feet with his plan for a snap elections i don't want an election the public don't want an election the country doesn't want a lection but this house has left no other option than getting the public decide who they want as prime minister and i commend this motion to the hide under the opposition bill that now has to be passed by parliament upper house johnson is forced to seek an extension of the brics it deadline that will move it to january scuppering his do or die plan for a no deal brix it if necessary on october 31st but labor the main opposition party isn't ready to give support to johnson's call for an election which needs a 2 thirds majority that the author of the election to die is a bit like the offer of an apple to snow white in the working queen because what he's offering is not an apple or even election but the poison of

a no deal. so business speak your i repeat i repeat what i said last night last night let this bill pass and gain royal assent then we will back at election so we do not crash out with a no deal exit from the european union. and surprisingly rude labor abstaining johnson's attempt to get an immediate election didn't pass. i have in the house well we aware. that the nation has no rights of. the majority or quad out of the fixed parliament fact this is about defending our democracy ahead of the latest political drama demonstrators in parliament square denounce boris johnson's actions accusing him of engineering and no deal grex it by claiming they're all still chances of

a deal when there's no progress whatsoever boris johnson may have only been in power for 6 weeks but he doesn't have control right now nevertheless you've only got to listen to the demonstrators to realise the central issue is about trust and the opposition want to be absolutely sure there's a couple bottom guarantee the card play any tricks if there is an election the 2nd largest opposition party is also against an immediate election people don't trust him when he says he really wants a deal we all suspect that he wants a new deal and we also want to make sure that he's not able to use his proxy of powers as the prime minister to create some tricks and allow the country to crush out another day of unprecedented moves with involvement and with it still uncertainty about what the people of the united kingdom might expect from its political leadership andrew symonds al-jazeera westminster.

let's bring in our panel joining us from london is alex deane managing director and head of public affairs u.k. f t i consulting and former chief of staff to david cameron from brussels the recent brunner policy analyst of the european policy center and again from london he said bennett briggs is commissioning editor of the telegraph welcome to you all to the program alex boris johnson was widely seen as someone who could accomplish what has or what eluded his predecessor. but after the series of setbacks he's suffered over the last few days what are the options left for him well plainly this is subtheme all it's not what boris wanted to happen by any means you are right but he can still seek either to force an election and those no reason he can't bring a bill for

a general election back either under the fixed term parliament act seeking the 2 thirds majority he didn't get last time or you could pass a one line bill saying notwithstanding the provisions of the fixed parliament act let's have an election anyway and on that sort of vote you don't need require authority of one recent events in parliament of showing he may not get that to you but let me make the point there is an ultimate irony that will be apparent to many of your views if they know jeremy corbyn the leader of our opposition party and one thing is that for the last 2 years he's been calling for an election and now finally when the government office in one he says no. the recent when the e.u. says the u.k. into into this sort of uncharted political territory what is the general sentiment among the key players of the of the. i think the general sentiment among the key players in the e.u. at the moment is. this may and probably also

a little bit of frustration dismay because i thing because it is clear that. the u.k. parliament knows what it doesn't want it doesn't want to know what effects it but it does a lot less clear what it what it wants instead and what that can find a positive solution to the fact that outcome and what an orderly withdrawal can be insured and i think that's also a bit of frustration at the way that to the u.k. is using the current extension of our ticket to toe bathetic prost because. after the u.k. was offered this extension basically the hope of the dust was that the u.k. would use this extension wisely to come to some sort of positive. conclusion but instead it looks i think from the u.s. press spec to fly. basically this time is largely wasted on power games

is it fair to say at this particular moment that. the support of the majority is a turn for mr johnson. well clearly we saw this week that labor does not want to give the nuff support to provide that 2 thirds target been tried nuff numbers for it to be hit and why is that simply because jeremy corwin now wants to ensure that this no deal law passes into the house of lords and that's very much on the u.k. statute books and this is because it a fact he is realizing that in finding it all too hard to resist the temptation to play with the conservatives like a cat might play with a dead mouse swatting it around and to what head as alex is saying yes the jeremy corbin is the man who's meant to be the country's alternative prime minister has been begging asking for the election and clearly he's just paranoid that boris

johnson will turn around on winning labor's approval and say very good thank you for proving us went out of the pick a election day for after october the 1st a was that no directed by default instantly bracks it's in the bag so it's a level of distrust clearly of the labor side which is regrettable. alex when you see the states and i would add what please go ahead go ahead yeah i was simply going to say there is one other possibility i don't disagree with a sort of tall of course that he's right that's the explanation labor has given for not wanting an election there might be one more found in opinion polling which suggests that the conservative party is now some 10 points ahead it may be that jeremy corbyn having screamed for an election for a beauty is now facing the realistic prospect of having one realizes he might lose it and therefore doesn't want to have it i hate to sound venal but that might be the more realistic explanation alex a could be also that carbon is trying to be also as a posthumous thick as mr johnson he knows that going to the polls 2 weeks before

the deadline the deadline could give johnson some leverage but that if he could further yes freeze it he won't have that level as in the general sentiment among the people in the u.k. would further change after the 30 the 1st of october that could deny him. a comfortable lead in the election. that's i think that's fair and one thing we haven't mentioned is that perhaps the most vibrant force in british politics right now that has really changed things like them or not is the brics it party with some 20 plus percent support in the polls for a general election right now boris would think to himself if we have an election my position on brics it is very clear i will get most of the support of people who are currently inclined otherwise to vote for the brics policy but if we fail once again on the 3rd time to leave the e.u. after a stated date that has been given by our prime minister then perhaps support for the brics party not only returns to that 20 percent but source beyond it that's got

to be the fear for the conservative party right now the reason the situation is fast moving in the u.k. is most likely we're going to see an extension of the e.u. deadline do you think that the europeans would be receptive to any demands by the by by the british government over the coming days. one of costs not a foregone conclusion because basically you would need unanimous approval in the o.p.m. council to get an extension so even a single country could feed to it how about i do think that this is quite unlikely for 2 reasons fost because i think you need us to not want to be seen. trade as being the one step trigger out and no effect so that would have very severe consequences both political politically and economically for many member states especially island and 2nd. it looks like a general election is an effort to move sooner or later the year i think the only

question is when it takes place and i think that might be another reason for that you to grant the u.k. an extension because after an election. brings with it the possibility of political change and even if the conservatives are leading at the poets in the polls at the moment the state of the possibility that. it's a general election will change the composition of parliament and therefore make an autumn leaves withdraw and more likely and i think for those 2 reasons that you i think would be quite i'm likely to refuse an extension. so what's interesting the tax exposed by both keep parties in the u.k. now the labor seems to be no wing 1st of all to aim for the top priority which is to freeze any attempt by johnson to go for a deal for for a break that with or without a deal then they are willing to negotiate another agreement about the election why is the labor walking down that particular path. i think because

they fear that if you have an even of october 31st election that boris johnson would be able to build unstoppable momentum because he could pose as mr bracks it the man who brought everyone for exit at the helm of the vote leave referendum bus and he could appeal as alex has brought up to tory voters to relievers especially that party voters and also try and keep tory remain as who are less keen on bricks on board by saying if you don't vote for me you have that krypto marxist germy corben walking into downing street who by the way let's remember is so unpopular in parliament. the rival parties could not agree on him as an alternative prime minister he is so unpopular among the general public the recent poll found that actually more people prefer the liberal democrat leader joe swenson as an alternative prime minister to jeremy corbin and incidentally the

actual prime minister abbas johnson is leagues ahead of both of them at 45 percent compared to about 20 percent and so given this you know jobs would have a very compelling campaign to fight if he was doing on the eve of brecht's it in the meantime of course if labor managed to delay bracks it string it out perhaps get this law passed and then sit there making sure that no elections approved yet they could run down the clock wait till middle of october see boris johnson shout and scream as he tries to do everything he can maybe even resign and then maybe not to avoid having to ask so the labor accept and that point his singular a man october 31st would shatter uphill struggle as an election campaign to fight at that point a late or but later exit november election so be very much labor's to win at that point alex but don't you see that mr johnson by his move is further undermining the conservative party look at the statements made yesterday the reactions from

philip herman cain clarke the rebels you get the impression that the conservative party is about to crumble. no i don't have that sense actually of course the people you are naming are no longer conservative m.p.'s they're still in the house but they don't take the what we call the whip they don't take the discipline of the conservative party anymore and they all therefore unable to stand as members of parliament for the conservative party again they will be able to stand of course for any other party or indeed as independents but just not for the party that got them elected last time this strengthens boris johnson's hand in any potential election because in their seats which are overwhelmingly very safe conservative seats there will be new conservative candidates chosen and those candidates will be far more likely to support boris johnson than those who've already demonstrated that they absolutely won't that is to say they didn't just vote against their tory policy they voted for a government to be denied the leaves of power for the control of the house of

commons to be passed instead to the opposition on the explicit basis that they would then give that power to the european union either for an extension or if we can agree an extension take whatever extension the e.u. gives us this is the worst possible signal for parliament to send to the e.u. why would the e.u. negotiate with us at in any meaningful way if they know that we're just going to have extension after extension and effectively stay in so no i think it strengthens boris's hand to have new m.p.'s in those seats the reason why is the e.u. saying that it will not bend to any of the demands made by the johnson of the over there was given to minister to some may still stands all the table that could be the best way out to an orderly exit from the e.u. . was the main point of contention is the back supply the i have fought on and the sort of concept i mean the problem for the us really is off the sort of concession stops like city swung into and they include peg

limiting the backstop to automata fi allowing do you kate withdraw from it unilaterally the problem is stopped from that you suspect this giving in to those concessions that would basically on the mind the basic functioning off the box so because and then try as policy that this time limited is not an insurance policy from that use perspective and that's why it simply cannot give in to those demands what they you i think could do and is willing to do would be to consider. tonnage has a range of months to the boxed up if they are viable and if they fully fit the same objectives after the backstop and the problem is that it doesn't meet it looks like and you are trying to define range months has been found and time he found so that's fundamentally it's a problem and when we have set up a backstop issue it's not just about. the board what having a vote on no bought on the island of ireland it's really it really touches very

very fundamental issues off the you'll like so that out of tea for example and because it's really about the question without you member states support a smaller member state if it's 5 interests are threatened against the comic interests of a soon to be thought country and if you're from the fries and those tongs then it becomes an entirely different issue and. it's i think becomes a much and even of a man must say it's a thing. i can then see a bit more easily why it's so important as they stand behind ireland because they might need us so modality at some point in the future too and they wouldn't want the member states to abandon them so. i think that's really why that yukon i see a point given to the fact that he has to mont on the back stop say was quite interesting when boris johnson was basically saying that he would use his negotiating skill to be able to change the u.s.

position when it comes to the northern ireland border do you think that the backstop ill turn it into something still possible against the backdrop of the drama that is unfolding in the u.k. oh it's still possible but obviously the e.u. has to genuinely believe it is deliverable in westminster the changes that the boris johnson would seek because really what's governing all this is the parliamentary refer to in the house of commons in that just go about 3 and may for a 2nd when she tried to get a deal and change the backstop and everything around it about 3 times now she was had to deal rejected and so e.u. leaders tried every time to change it just enough rejected again and now we see that clearly boris johnson is struggling to get anything through parliament and then peas are running rampant able to tie his hands on no deal and so it's no wonder your leaders aren't really taking the go seriously because then i think nothing would pass this parliament especially when some euro skeptics say in the

same breath that even if the backstop was taken out they would still want more. seem to to be saying basically that you don't think that this is something which is going to further undermine but it's just on the culture this is something which is going to consolidate his power base there is the god of if he decides to go or if we have an election he will definitely have to be very aggressive to be able to bite into the bollard base of the briggs it party but by doing that don't you think that he could just further undermine the remaining within the conservative party itself. there is a balance to be struck you're right but i think boris has already enough to draw away much of the strength of the bricks at parties electoral appeal at least in the present time before the 31st of october he's demonstrated he serious about bret's it and doesn't want to take no deal off the table i really see british politics is

like this the divide on the broadly speaking right between the tory party in the brics it party is a smaller one that is to say the tory party has done well to take much more of that vote in the current environment than the divide on the left between the labor party in the liberal democrats where whatever you think of the lib dems have a crystal clear position on bricks it they don't want it and the labor party has been to and fro on what they think about this and where they are in our membership of the european union in that circumstance i think that boris does very well at an election with a more broadly unified right and a more generally divided left and that's why he feels so positive about the prospect of an election what. kind of impact is this political drama in the u.k. having on the e.u. leadership because sometimes you get the impression he's trying to stay away and comment only when he's suddenly about one of the key contentious issues between the u.k. and the e.u. . yeah i mean that you know has really tried to stay out

of the oil u.k. domestic political drama basically since even since before the west. it didn't get too involved in the referendum campaign and even in the past 3 years it has really tried to stay our i'm not sure that the current political drama really have to bake off an effect on that you would need us because basically i think what you need as the main question is can there be an orderly withdrawal off the u.k. and if so when canada and all of this drama at the moment we're not really getting closer to a visit lucian off the fundamental question are on facts it is there going to be again no idea or it's going to take a 50 go in to be revoked and that is the fundamental decision that needs to be made and at the moment all this political drama i think is just so it's basically just kicking the can from around the world. i think one of the things that many people

would say agree about when it comes to the u.k. of this particular moment is is absolutely no clarity about the future just give you an example the lived for example are for anything that would stop the brig's that this interview would say that this is going to further give scotland. the right to go for independence the labor we know the dithering when it comes to how to move forward the conservatives seem to be divided then. is britain suddenly or is it because of the 2016 choice intrigue an unprecedented political stage. well look the reason why it seems that our political class of being so inept about this is because the government doesn't have the numbers to get anything through this parliament and the same time you have an opposition in the labor party who seem to be increasingly pandering to remain as never really accepting a deal and some labor m.p.'s for example a good few dozen who rejected the original deal several times and are now turning

around having found that they will turn to the await them are even with us sort of bracks it of a no deal bracks it or just trying again maybe selling out their voters so who actually voted leave me mother liberal democrats then you know that at least they have some sincerity of just hating brax it never liking it in the same way the s.n.p. do as well and so they just they they can't really seem to decide whatever they want at all even with the general election you have jeremy corbyn in one breath saying our prime minister is a dictator and that his of followers feel that a coup has taken place thanks doris johnson but no they did they don't want to go back to the people just yet because that would be just improper the other things have to happen so it's no wonder then bar johnson is so desperately keen for a new parliament thank you thank you very much indeed it will be really interesting to see how one whether mr jones will be able to deliver on his promise to cross out of the e.u. with or without a deal alex deane larissa brunner a subeditor thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program and

rule on this plan to suspend parliament. dorrian weekends out of battering the u.s. east coast causing widespread destruction across the bahamas and a new cabinet for saddam including an historic for his size a woman takes charge at the foreign ministry. thank you for joining as zimbabwe's founding leader robert mugabe has died at the age of 95 tributes have started to pour in from all over the world remembering mugabe who was the country's 1st prime minister had been suffering from poor health and was being treated in singapore. served as the head of zimbabwe for almost 40 years before being deposed in a military coup 2017 hoda abdel-hamid has borne its life. deliberate to turn into a tyrant the man who destroyed a promising country through his determination to cling on to power and adored by

some but the indian despised by many. of the widely admired across africa as a hero who fought colonialism and stood up to the west. 965. ian smith says white settlers declare independence from britain an event that they find robert mugabe's life and still holds his country. the black majority resisted races in the cities and out in the countryside where vicious bush war raged for years. robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerged from prison as an articulate leader of the independence struggle we started the war in order to get our country. we have a country they did get their country at lancaster house in london in 1979.

and when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. and soon showing revival liberation fighters what he'd do to keep it. and in the early eighty's the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were barely noticed abroad. but there was also much to admire racial reconciliation education and health for millions of zimbabweans although later the economy declined and the invasions of white farms in the year 2000 were turning point this time the world did notice. people said that this was going to happen it was going to turn into a bloodbath turn into another congress maybe this is it we're going to have to get out. it was a destructive process but they said he was correcting an old injustice and in many

ways still fighting the old colonial power. the land is ours we give it to whom we please it's not the business of britain you see to tell us who to give land they do not wear that those who are given the members of my by my party is irrelevant to britain. by now opposition was growing despite murder and many many zimbabwe seemed ready to throw mugabe out they had a new hero morgan chang right who said robert mugabe's earlier cheve man's will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. do we portray you as the great liberator or do we portray you as somebody who has betrayed the liberation that the photo. i think the little prevail the 2 rivals ended up in government together although mugabe made sure he kept the real power and chunky violator returned to a position where he would eventually die without being is constantly showing how

hypocritical the west is and africa loves that and for that reason and i think he will be judged alternately as being a more important figure in africa than simply this party is this part he's a dictator he's a tyrant he's any word you want to threaten but it's something more than that he says he's the wrong messenger with the right message. by now his wife grace 41 years his junior had emerged as a political player who got be well into his ninety's seem determined to go on and on. the. trail goes you know. that good robert mugabe is still here. but not as strong as he thought in the city's anger boiled over a new generation demanded mugabe go it's time for you to resign it's time for you

to step down. in the end it was the army that pushed him worried he'd appoint grace as his successor a former colleague and then the rival of grace's emmerson women took over it was more palace cruden revolution although the joy mirrored that of zimbabwe's original revolution 37 years earlier will gladly retreated to his mansion bitter to the last we don't deserve please we don't deserve it probably because. the real tragedy robert mugabe could never bear da da or of his country enjoying a 2nd freedom from his ruinous grip that's now speak talk or spawn and in johannesburg carol so how is news of robert mugabe set being received in zimbabwe and beyond. well tributes are coming in from people in

zimbabwe and all around the world when his body returns from singapore people will know when the funeral is going to be he's going to be given a state funeral and will be buried here as a care in the capital harare he ruled zimbabwe for 37 years he was a towering influential controversial figure for zimbabwe and he was either a hero or he was a villain those who remember the 1980 s. the 1990 say we need came into office in 1980 hits the ground running he wanted to make sure he built as many schools and clinics and hospitals as possible so the poor black much as you have access to those good services he was a teacher so which is why he spent a lot of money building schools especially for poor rural children that's why to this day in africa zimbabweans are known to have the highest literacy rates in the world and then he took land from a white minority and gave it to a black majority something which pleased a lot of people but his critics say something then went wrong the land reform

program was often violent and chaotic it's alleged some of the land went to officials in the ruling party its elites some of the land went to his family members and mice of the good land is still not being properly utilized so obviously because of the bread basket of africa now the country is struggling to feed its people blame him for decades of corruption they blame him and the rulings are if your party for alleged abductions and human rights abuses over the years but the biggest complaint a lot of frustrated zimbabweans have is the fact that how the economy was handled many blame of garbage for ruining what was once a prosperous economy for example here in south africa it's estimated $3000000.00 zimbabweans are in this country most are economic refugees most are undocumented competing with so the africans are also looking for work and the zimbabwean say they want to go home but they blame a guy by 4 years of corruption the fact that he ruined the economy which is why they say. they are stuck here at the county to go back to the country of

a birthright in light of this this makes the end controversial legacy what sort of sendoff and can we expect mugabe to get and also where does his death leave the ruling party zanu p.f. which he founded. it was interesting with officials in the rulings on it here party we know there have been factions over the years it's people just a take over from or just have more control in the ruling party and despite all the problems that happens especially towards the end in 2017 when he was removed from office most senior officials say he is the founding father of the zimbabwe we will give him a special sendoff he will get a state funeral what will likely happen is once the body gets back to zimbabwe he will lie in state somewhere in probably the neighborhood he lived in as an adult you'll also probably be taken to his home village. in her instant after that he will then be taken to the here is

a can was the place where many people who fought in the liberation war are buried his grave is marked number one that's a hugely varied a sign that they do respect him of course now it's where does this take zimbabwe from from now it was imminent i came into power rated t.v. a few years ago if in a struggle the economy is still in a mess a lot of people can't find work or isn't bargains are frustrated so it's a huge uphill battle for danny p.f. they promised a lot of things when the guy was a move from office and when he 1st heard there's a bargain say those promises are taking too long and they're struggling just to make ends meet thank you for that hermosa my forests in johannesburg let's now take a closer look at how robert mugabe rolls from humble beginnings to become zimbabwe's most powerful man mugabe was born in 1924 in colonial rule the 3rd of 6 children he was educated by catholic missionaries and later went to university in south africa he qualified as

a teacher and earned several degrees mugabe returned to southern rhodesia in 1960 in smith's widespread mrs government was firmly in control then there mugabe joint zabul a new political party heroes through the ranks calling for equal rights for all regardless of race but. refusal to avoid political violence saw him split from the party he helped to form the zimbabwe african national union which was banned by smith's regime but gaby was arrested and sent to prison in 1964 after 11 years behind bars he was released he fled to mozambique way zano given a fight his elected him to lead their struggle against white minority rule well that's now speak to patrick chinamasa who's a former finance minister in zimbabwe and a member of the zanu p.f. party thank you so much. for being with us on al-jazeera an icon of liberation for some as the man who presided over

a zimbabwe's decline how will you remember robert mugabe. you know. if you need to watch program he won't move more well bob out. of 4 great you don't owe anybody forced to. forego this movie this republic for go to cuba. its involvement in all. we want to learn. form of god be. good to be. live in the world while reporting people are just not. want war.
