he had contacted the head of the national police and asked him not only to go on physically calls the congress, but also arrest the attorney general patricia in the leaders, a menu of the grievances that his people have shown in the most facial date. but way before mister garcia was even a candidate in a thicket of negate all over the been disenfranchised. this being no access to basic education, basic services and people are fed up with the situation and they, for that the see, you may be able to do that. the president has appointed 3 or 4 minutes just to go to different parts of the country. what is the most visual happen to have it done with those communities? the defense minister, interior minister, he's actually tend to go and talk to the people and tell them that we are going to come down this equation. she can hardly so diplomacy of decades of neglect in the next, in the few months that she's going to be in power. it will be up to the new government to raise on tarka. this inequality that had been prevailing brewer for many, many,

many, many years. at least 16 people have been killed and several more are missing after landslide hit a campaign ground in malaysia. it happened in counting highlands, which is a popular haley area outside column core. the victims include at least one child. ruskie crew are still searching for survivors. so far more than 20 people and found a life got to leave at the moment, we have 394 rescuers from 15 agencies working on the search and rescue operation. until now, we're still coming the area where the incident happened. us get more or less we can speak to her, came hamza who's in kuala lumpur, is the secretary general for the malaysian red crescent society. thank you for joining a program to. we know what caused this landslide? is it been really quite heavily in the last few weeks actually almost daily on

a daily basis? so the heavy rings rains have to have definitely on the lens a structure to be unstable. and now this has definitely contribution very much to the landslide kellier. tell us more about the location. this is a popular tourist destination, presumably as we approach the holiday season, they would have been a lot of people there. yeah. and so it's quite close to getting highlands where many people would go during fall for the holidays over the weekends and during athletic periods. but this is on route to the main nav ah, tories extraction it. so it's essentially been guessing that isn't it to be a farm area. so the land owners have been now granted permission to, to have farms in that area by day, however, failed to get the permit to have to set up the campsite. so that has

probably, that was probably the, the reason why i am we are having this successor b because they did not quite them have the permit to have to, to set up the campsite here. so what can you tell us about the search and rescue operation? how, how long is that likely to go on? well, the actual end line happened, and almost so the knowledgeable about 2 pm, and that was when everyone was sleeping and it was dark. so at the beginning was a bit of a challenge or the rescue efforts. however, as we get into the day, there was light and, and we, and we got assistance from many different authorities and used to have come on saying to relax just didn't. and we are, we are still busy looking for the remaining 17 who are still unfound and

we hope to find more so that they can be brought to rescue it. and then tell us a bit more about the challenges when carrying out a rescue like this. i mean, we were looking at the pictures earlier, i mean there's so much thick monday. i mean, how, presumably you can't use heavy equipment to go through that. yeah. its gonna be good. it has to be a lot of it has to be done manually. and as the thing might, they might have suitable for heavy equipment. and now we have to deploy green, but now and those 2 are very much familiar with the surroundings to ensure that the areas that conduct the search and rescue ah accurate and that they do not. we cause the land to be good for the decay rate and we don't

want to have for the land slides moving on as the, as we are getting more and more warnings of offering going on. so it's, it's, they really need to be careful and now only trained, but now allow in the area. okay, good to talk to you wishing you the best with the rest of the search and rescue operation. i came hamza, that's actually general of the malaysian red crescent. society thank you. now, south africa governing a n c party is holding a leadership pole with president sarah aroma tip to win a 2nd term. while the policy is face difficulties from leadership bottles to corruption allegations, it's been in power for nearly 30 years. since of africa's 1st democratic elections submitted a better reports from jonna sprig, the once celebrated as a liberation party that fought against racial segregation. in recent years of africa, the governing african national congress has been riddled by corruption and criticism

. it's a party of respected global and african leaders such as oliver tumble and nobel peace prize laureate nelson mandela. but 28 years into democracy. the a n c facing increasing condemnation for poor leadership and governance. since monday, la subsequent president tub. when becky and jacob zoom out were recalled or forced to resign, current president drama poses facing similar pressure in a scandal involving the 5th of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the game farm . the agencies reputation for many isn't tatters. cryptography, nepotism, cadbury deployment from the very beginning of b and c government, which then became a norm within the party and within the higher echelons of government. so even when people are found to have sallied the day, the day they record as it were, they still continued to be deployed as members of the

a and c and s trusted members of the n c. and that's what led to rampant corruption, a poorly performing economy record high unemployment and energy prices and a multitude of fraud scams of frustrated south africans. the party won the 1st in mccracken elections in 1994 with a 62 percent majority that dropped to 57 percent in the last polls support for the agencies been in decline for years. some voters have protested against the amc by staying away from the poles. others have abandoned the governing party and voted for the opposition. the democratic alliance and economic freedom fighters dominate opposition voices while they're combined support of almost a 3rd, a vote can't be ignored. and a and c parliamentary majority is often protected. it's in battle leaders. the n c needed money. and the people who supported the ends, he saw money as being something that they could get their hands on. so the solution

was you could relatively easily do what you wanted and get what ever tended you wanted, provided you gave to caesar a portion of it and kept a portion for yourself. and the rock began thus this weekend, the party will hold an elective conference to choose a president and other senior figures support his hope. the new leadership will revive the party. but for many south africans, it's the same old faces with the same old scandals. for me to mila al jazeera janice bug still had on al jazeera, thousands protests in istanbul against conviction of the city's mayor. ahead of next, she is pulse. and the most coveted prize in federal gaze on display and cast out of the stage, sat for sunday's final between argentina ah
