4:10 pm
on the that speaks. for us on child promise somebody expressing pride there but i imagine a lot of disappointment after this one landing pena. some of our discovery actually i can tell you the mood would have been very different have the mission been a success but there is a little sense of disappointment people stayed up late in the night to watch the landing but in the last few seconds the contact was lost now the chief of india's space research organization had earlier said that the last 15 minutes or 15 minutes of terror and terrifying they indeed were that india has failed in landing that we
4:11 pm
could but there is still a lot of sympathy for the scientists to try to undertake this mission and the scientists here are saying that even though all other data that was expected to be collected would not now happen because the dinner parties don't know where the moon is but they hope the before that the data that has come through would still have the scientists and. they would be able to understand why actually the mission did not succeed and that in itself is an experiment that should have the scientists on all was a lot of sympathy though for the scientists there are photographs of chief his head on prime minister moody's shoulder and it appears the prime minister movies trying to console him has gone viral on social media and everyone here now saying that there will be a next time what was this mission all about in the 1st place and why would it have been significant. well in the

last such a mission indian moon lander had tried to look for water on the surface of the moon and according to one sign just a few days it had found some of water in this mission it would have continued to search for water but also taken images of lunar soil and send them back to earth now i imagine the possibilities would perhaps be endless but this was the stated mission all for. a stated goal of this mission it would have also been interesting to see if this mission had been successful how india succeeded in carrying out it in such a coarse effective manner it has cost india just about one $150000000.00 folly that's half of what cost in the production of hollywood movie the average joes that would have been useful for scientists all over to see how to carry out these missions in a cost effective manner. it also is important to mention they had this been successful india would have been the 4th country after russia and china to succeed

a hero of zimbabwe's independence from britain but after a turbulent 37 years as president of the military oppose him in 2017 african leaders are paying tribute as an icon of liberation but his critics say his thirst for power left zimbabwe ruins hoda abdel-hamid takes a look back at robert mugabe's life. 965 rhodesia 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 through in the cities and out in the countryside where a 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.
4:23 pm
and when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. and soon showing liberation fighters what he'd do to keep it matter bill 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 over the later the economy declined and the invasions of white farms in the year 2000 were turning point this time the world did notice. it was accounted destructive process but mugabe 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
4:24 pm
land they do not. buy now opposition was growing despite murder and many people asian many zimbabwe seemed ready to throw mugabe out they had a new hero morgan chiang rai who said robert mugabe's early achievements will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. do we portray him as the great liberator or do we portray him as somebody who has betrayed the liberation that the photo i think the latter will prevail the 2 rivals ended up in government together although mugabe made sure he kept the real power and shank you violate to return to a position where he would eventually die he is this part he's a dictator he's a tyrant he's anywhere you want to strengthen 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
4:25 pm
a political player who got be well into his ninety's seem determined to go on and on. 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 where he the point grace as his successor a former colleague and then live rival of grace's emerson women took over it was more palace coup than revolution although the joy mirrored that of zimbabwe's original revolution 37 years earlier mugabe retreated to his mansion bitter to the last probably. the real tragedy robert mugabe could never bear dear dear of his country enjoying a 2nd freedom from his ruinous grip. let's bring in gas in harare patrick chinamasa. party
4:26 pm
member robert mugabe's finance minister in london alex my guys are the former chief adviser to the former zimbabwean prime minister and opposition leader morgan tsvangirai and in johannesburg david moore professor of development studies at the university of johannesburg welcome to your patrick the mixed reactions following the death of mr mugabe from a liberated tyrant does that in a way or another fairly sum up his legacy well. in the group or zimbabweans are going to be in deep mourning over the past. or or marriage. with. pollution. who championed. we give
4:27 pm
us our free dorm our human rights and our dignity you will be one of the good of talking. alongside from our common guma julius nearer our guts to monitor kenneth kaunda yes or mandela you will be even pollution ari i can not just absolutely no i can but also internationally each time you and you because all or praised you people everywhere. you was very clear in support you are strong. why not if you lead us in post-polio africa will take an igloo on koran your must end our learned to give it back to the right who people you want i mean flinching. in that little ok you lived in
4:28 pm
a huge legacy for empowerment or for people in the early off age you creation zimbabweans are now legged value in terms of literacy rate in also in terms of development this is why you find you can dublin's all over the world because of the asking it since you also said penetration will fight the good is that you mean worth giving land back we'll talk what he tells about. the youth who did being different issues alex. morgan tsvangirai who was the main opposition leader in zimbabwe once said that if we were to make any assessment about the legacy of. the between a freedom fighter or someone who had deserved the why it's given to him by his own
4:29 pm
people the latter would prevail. well i think 1st of all you know condolences of course to the family of former prison mugabe. i have listened to a tear for minute session i must say sayed there is no doubt that mr mugabe played an important role in the oppression of zimbabwe and had many important words to say about africa and he was indeed an icon in that regard however as i pointed out at the time there are also aspects of mr mugabe's leadership we were very disagreeable we should very horrible and i think that it's important to understand that even at this particular point in time while we have to respect the family of mr mugabe it's also important to be honest and truthful about the challenges that zimbabwe has faced as in biographies about his leadership. was part
4:30 pm
of a group of people in his own appear of who led to the ouster of president robert mugabe in 2017 i don't think that it is fair to whitewash that if you sort of history if anything the demise of former president robert mugabe began that november 27th when they took power from him through unconstitutional means. i mean when we go back and look at the highlights of the legacy of mugabe many people would tell you that ok he was a freedom fighter for the independence of his own country but those credentials were completely overshadowed by the blunders by the mistakes that he made over many many years in power. i don't agree with that cheery proposition what i think people should be more about mugabe is that you are severely angry that we are in african opposition zimbabwean
4:31 pm
opposition. by former colonial masters degree to suit their wealth municipal own dition funded luncheon in the suburbs mint or you are very very angry that is him but when how could he but when to be drilled that one legacy how good is it but will tell you that one can't by accepting silver in order to or pause to learn to question you are very angry over that so the issue that about the events of 2017 we are not to pick things we all of our shortcomings but mugabe's shortcomings carol into insignificance when compared with these achievements not just in zimbabwe but internationally and one should be coming that i could or not
4:32 pm
do that if you lived in the country should you choose to call it for him to assume all because of. this gala things we are getting out of control into a clique of individuals that are wanted you while in order to advantage that one person no interest which is nothing to do with your country's national interests ok that is what led to the events of 2000 intervened in let's go to i'm not you don't target and demagogue it was discovered that change was now inevitable ok let's go to david moore in johannesburg david it was quite interesting their reactions we got from african leaders basically describing midsomer gabi as an eye . kind of the pan african pro independence movement but when it comes to the west the main sentiment was basically this was a tyrant who abused his power for many decades which led or drove the country to
4:33 pm
the brink of collapse. right well statesmen and diplomats protect each other generally. and i think that's been the case often times if you speak to diplomats behind closed doors and off the record they say quite different things and they certainly have had in the past but robert mugabe has been able to marshal the ideology of sovereignty and pan african ism. to put them on their back feet usually except of course in 2008 when after the victory of morgan change in the election at the end of march forced a runoff well of course a lot of fake counting as well but that's not unusual and mugabi and his people killed at least the very least 177 m.d.c. supporters at that time sadek and the e.u.
4:34 pm
had had enough and pushed him into a unity government. but he was able to make that work to his benefit as well which he's always been able to do he's been very good at picking out the soft spots in the opponent's armor and also pitching various camps in his own party but also in the international arena especially during the cold war at each other and been able to sneak through those those those cracks and maintain them self and power is very very good at that i think is very interesting that in some contradiction to your former speaker the people on the streets are actually indicating i would say a 37 the percentage ratio against and for robert mugabe and that's that's fairly unique in these days because people generally is not like they don't like to speak ill of the dead but there's already indications that his real legacy
4:35 pm
is not as good as it's been made out to be alex with zimbabwe turning the chapter of robots will gobby do you see an opening for what could be fresh political start in the country. well i think that if the events of november 27th team had not happened and if mr mugabe had passed on while he was in power perhaps one would be talking of a new fresh chapter coming up but i think what we have seen so far is that mr mugabe's political death and you know of him by 2017 and contrary to what we're hearing from my countrymen. they have been trying their level best over the past 12 months 18 months to distance themselves from the legacy of mr mugabe it's only now that they're calling him congresswoman gabby because it's a tide that they often use for their own colleagues and friends in the newspapers
4:36 pm
they've been calling him mr mugabe and all sorts of things so it's a bit hypocritical you know so to speak that he's being uploaded and given all these are calling now when for the past 1218 months they're treated you like leaper really now in terms of zimbabwe going forward i think that clearly the challenges that were supposed to be solved in november 27000 have not been resolved the last election in august in july 28th in left a lot of hanging questions and that's why zimbabwe continues to suffer serious isolation and serious economic deterioration as has been said by many people the solutions to zimbabwe's challenges lie in the political arena and it is there that zimbabweans have to find a solution the passing on of mr mugabe had does not have the same impact that it
4:37 pm
would have had had he passed on during his time in power was a passage of liston to the founding of the legacy of mr mugabe but at a certain point this is all this is if it has just been for a 2nd this is my question to you mr. you see. the 2008 election the constitution provided for. truth here you cross it you come to the murdoch shield prison plus one there was to be line they think that you laid in the stage does not make it we know or when you listen i want just a quick note about a place to not go out to quote again listen this is a pattern we are giving you pocketable you should you can't just give some credit. because in the 2nd round of the election he said to console you did you that you. ok just going back to what he said about 2008 or should just give some credit
4:38 pm
a strong guy who said that i cannot afford to see more people killed because of the election and therefore i decided to stay away from the 2nd round of the vote but this is that this is my question to you listen to you you're defending the legacy of robert mugabe but there isn't a universal consensus that the google $100.00 massacres committed in the matter billy land was one of the gray vests crimes committed during the reign of robert mugabe still you're completely in denial about it. as you know the liberation of this country was brought about by 2 liberation movements to liberation nationalist movements. independence zanu one he might really it went in to acquire lucian with his up but do that governments like among all evolution is take place misunderstanding takes place in some of
4:39 pm
these misunderstandings are formed by those who wanted to suggest copulation so that if you rode is regrettable but is in but when you will find a solution a month ourselves without the involvement of outsiders i just wanted to highlight you about how we're not we have never been you pocketed limit mr patrick how can you move in. to go persecuted hated i see your point how can you move forward if you're not willing to acknowledge mistakes that were made crimes that were committed in the past reconciliation is foremost about saying we need to stay or is it president mugabe president mugabe was the 1st to announce the party thought fresh rational conclusion a month we form our core meo musters. that was a very important decision that you took don't you was always. a man or
4:40 pm
you can feel issue into declaring the president is already given. or google i wanted to the pew thing to do going to listen commission we. tended by the president who had so we will find our solution without interfering with those we know our problems very important that i would think that live out our own here problem about zimbabwe is in opposition which you find it by this former colonial masters to call up you know this in this country there was a reference to last year and this we have never and i said exactly what your little girl has been saying for so this isn't a this clueless election but someone went on to i know that it won because the election we are not it before the books were cut let me tell you what it can't if
4:41 pm
you don't mind a sabbatical focus and it's working on it ok and it includes david moore here david the factional divide is something which has been demick in different parts of the african continent and we comes to zimbabwe how the debate is and the showing or is this something which you think would further continue to undermine the chances for any political reconciliation in the future in zimbabwe. i think it's a bit difficult to hear you but i think the way in which the reconciliation attempts are going ahead is creating some more divisions and matter better learn than one would would would hope and that could be the way in which the current regime is handling some of these issues i think overall one can see quite clearly from patrick chinamasa as a response a very. rote zanu p.f.
4:42 pm
response to some of these issues that you've raised and i think perhaps robert mugabe's last words that were publicly announced february 21st of this year on his 95th birthday that sort of sanctimonious holier than our holier than thou i've never done any wrong discourse of actually blaming emerson when a god works for the deaths in january of this year when at least 17 people were killed in in the demonstrations and he said something to the effect that you only happy when you're killing people why is it that death makes you happy something like that and that's kind of indicated the the sensibility that i think robert mugabe has left. among people in power and even people contesting for power . the kind of religious religiosity about it i think mugabe really did think that he could save senate here from falling apart. he but but by
4:43 pm
playing off factions against used each other but that of course at 11 moment would help him keep in power but at the same moment and sort of put things in balance again but then he would have to put things in in balance again in order to keep that sort of factionalism going by. simultaneously cooled down a bit and that in the end has probably destroyed zonen p.f. i don't think we even now with with morning god were in have a cohesive security force we don't have a economic issues solved so mugabe is a man in a sense has remained even though it sometimes the new regime has said is trying to reverse the. difficulties this is going to be my question to alex very briefly there were hopes that the post mugabe legacy with him a similar goer in power would see a dramatic change me comes for reforms of the political laws and the economy people

a category one storm in about 2 days. police in hong kong are restricting access to the city's airport on saturday in an attempt to limit a planned anti-government protest say authorities have increased the police presence and limited trade says is to the airport protesters are expected to try to disrupt operations for the 3rd time in 2 months police say those who enter the f. 14 legally could face up to 14 years in prison and speak to deviate upon an who's outside hong kong airport for is so dear what's the situation right now like at the airport. probably what you're hearing right now is the airport authority telling people that if they have no valid reason to be here at the airport they should leave in the least bit and foreseeing that what they're doing now is that there's a large security tonight since as you can see behind me not just the marines but also awfully 100 riot police and what they do is they swarm anyone who looks like they are not a legitimate anger can be washed in that they have removed several guns from the
4:58 pm
incident around the air force to the also set up checkpoints in all the tunnels and highways leading to the airport they're checking but they're checking cars which the suspect then that could be carrying protesters now the protests there is how to change their strategy of us their members or people who want to join the movement to have gotten their customary black shirts helmets and facemasks and come to the airport looking like proper counselors even printing out fix boarding process and carrying suitcases the police are also searching those that look like travelers someone checking their that identity and if they feel that they have or they suspect that they have no reason to meet here or there turfing that margaret telling them to leave so at the moment what we're seeing is a very large police presence but no one that we can particularly identify as protesters did it why are these protests continuing despite the warnings from hong kong police and beijing and despite the fact that the protesters main demand has
4:59 pm
been met by the hong kong government. that's right fully that was the initial to mommy or to go for that so-called extradition bill to be wrong not bill would have allowed to come suspects to be taken across the border into mainland china to be tried in courts there that she not been meton that happened earlier this week there was a period of about 24 hours of calm but the snow started up again in fact overnight protesters he came back again in full force particularly at the same station where they say incidents of police brutality have taken place not just against protesters but also against the general public who happen to be in the area so now not only protesters but the hong kong public the wider public polling for more of an investigation into how the police have behaved in their actions over the past 3 months of protests the government said they would set up an investigation but they haven't given it enough weight behind it to satisfy people you know so that now yes
5:00 pm
the rallying cry of the protestors in an investigation and to me said their actions but i need to mention that what we've seen is a slight change in the emotion or the impetus behind these protests whereas before you saw protesters very willing to confront the police head on they're not acting with some restraint and calling people who are involved in that movement to step back if they feel that a confrontation is set to take place police on the other hand have been acting was great restraint saying that we've just seen one of those. protester water cannon trucks being driven into the airport just a few minutes ago. thank you very much to get a pal and live for us at home or to a still ahead on the program omar al bashir is back in course will be naive in khartoum west saddam's deposed president will have some tough questions to answer and with warnings the u.s. china trade war could take years to resolve we'll look at the challenges and opportunities.
