7:06 pm
comparatively did you know, like amazing holes and, and numbers and rates. as soon as i was doing, especially in the winter, in terms of women participation in politics and women, at representations in climate and business learning, which it personally i very sad to me because what i sides have been doing is moving a gate, nominating a women at the head of the government. why in the same time depriving ah millions of women into music on their political rights. peruse new president, dana battiata gin congress to pass a bill to bring forward a general election in a national address below us. he said that she were resigned despite the worst thing protests demonstrates as devoting only poles on the release of formerly the federal crossfield. he was impeached and detained on charges of rebellion and conspiracy last week, sparking the unrest. let's go live to leave up of zeros. marianna, sancho said, is there for so president to put
7:07 pm
a water spoken on national television. she's trying to build bridges for dialogue. as this tension continues to rise across the country. what does she have to say? that's right, adrianne. she a told protesters in a message, what are you gaining from burning from destroying the infrastructure that she's only been 10 days in office. and she said that she hasn't even had time to sit down and talk to them. she wants to build bridges, she wants to listen to their demands. she sent her ministers to different cities to begin dialogue. but she said that she will re shuffle here, her cabinet. she just announced that. and she said to the calls for some people in the streets and some political and foes for her resignation. she said that she would not resign. she sent a bill to congress to try to bring an election forward. lawmakers didn't vote in

7:09 pm
panel found that he may have violated his oath of office for me to mila reports from jarvis book. one of the key issues around that is the, the verification of at least $4500.00 delegates attending the elective conference at least perhaps 10 percent of those delegates who are due to vote. haven't been verified. we've heard from some of them who have complained about the verification process, which we've seen every elective conference, but for some reason there seems to be administrative issues this time around which the course has delayed proceedings. there are a number of policy documents, as well as various committees that have to get under way ahead of the vote. so because of all of this, it's uncertain when that book will take place. but ultimately for this conference, it's the vote of not only the president of the agency, but also 5 of the top officials that is most important given that it will
7:10 pm
direct the future of the a and c. ultimately, especially at a time when the party and the leadership are facing a number of challenges, including the allegations of the ford and corruption of the governance running of south africa, south africans experiencing rolling blackouts. the economy is also performing slightly better than it did during colbert 19th, but many would say there's a lot of room to improve and of course, high level of unemployed people. so these are some of the issues a conference like this would have to talk at some point, aside from dealing with the voting top membership, gregory tend to salter is the director of food consulting. he says the stakes a high from a poser opinion po, show ram opposed to consistently to be more popular than the amc among the,
7:11 pm
the south african electric. so from that point of view, you think that the and c would want to stick with him. but he has been pretty against so cool, stay capture the looting of state acids. there's a lot of snouts that were in the trough, so to speak, that have been forcibly removed from it. and they're not happy about that. we're currently injuring up to 12 hours of so called low shedding. that's power cuts to you and me every day, with half the grid offline and rama repeatedly promised to fix that as a previous president in his speech, he did make a point that part of the problem with our energy power state s come years of state capture in the zoom a year, so here's a to and for policy decisions that were taken before that by which he's referring to for president. so he's trying to show this a long running problem that can't be entirely laid at his feet,
7:12 pm

7:17 pm
i saw earlier on people coming with their grand children that are 2 or 3 years old . there is a feeling that they are witnessing history, an arab nation, african nation going so far in a world class taking place in the middle east. there's so much ride and so much of the feeling of being grateful for our democracy team has gone and how it has made so many people genes. i spoke to wendy young an 8 year old adrian who wants to be a goalkeeper like yes, in bono, the man that has blocky so, but he goals during this world hub. i saw another one that wants to be a forward, like our shop dory. all these names that few people you before this world come to have become now heroes and symbols of what moroccans an arab country or an african nation can do in international football. so it seems that there is a before the world cup in and after the world have been worked 20 minutes away or
