a night of unrest in zimbabwe with military vehicles out on the streets and explosions reported in the capital harare but the army says it is not a coup they're calling it a tie. argot assault on criminals around president robert mugabe promising he'll be safe now the army has taken over the state broadcaster and reports indicate soldiers and tanks are blocking access to parliament now this after boys military chief had warned the army could step in to calm tensions over mugabe's possible successor. on a statement on national t.v. the army denied speculation that the ongoing military operation is a coup what these men would fins foresees is doing is too passive five. did united team political social and economic situation in our country which if not addressed made. in you by only.

two members of these in what would then forces overly is console and your old pretend to have buttons with the emitted that let it be clear that we intend to address the human security that you know kind therefore any provocation will be met with an appropriate response let's go straight to zimbabwe now where privilege listen here e is reporting for us from harare privilege you've been out on the streets of harare this morning what have you been saying what's happening out there. as you mentioned earlier the tanks on the streets. the area to get out are in the area which we may call it is government of the street where

the parliament the high points the constitutional court and the offices that houses cabinet and there will be so the president all of the that area suit off and soldiers not allowing any cars to pass through the streets that passes through that area and then during the night there with so many movements and explosions we had. which is what it's all we can read in one family way explosions have been ok we did hear some it's it's ok prose did you see any signs of fighting where you were right in the government center there are no signs of. fighting or fighting but soldiers are standing at attention and they are read that day to traffic not to

pass through the corridor and. area in the city. when right now like the statement from the i mean people that they should go to wake yes people are trickling in into the city to go up about this business and mostly seem since i think they are coming to work but at the time i went around it was not yet you have and. even if you look at school kids were supposed to be going to school now some are going to school but i spoke to some few bet and decided to give the actually grandstand and monitor the situation a privilege can you give us some background to this this there's been some speculation that this is part of a power struggle over who might replace the ailing president robert mugabe. yes the military intervention he said is a result of what is going on i've been in it really about two years and every if

you rightly say that this succession battles that have been happening there have been two factions one that has been allegedly aligned to this sacred. prison in muslim and well and the land that is aligned to defense played graceful garbage sought. after the sinking of vice president there why and that is a likely. face lady. was not in charge and if you look at yes the date where and there you would leak at this point it's too late for me general's. statement it was the youth league which you seem somewhat repressed lady that you know made a statement so. this is all is a result of the past troubles that i have been in to succeed prison look like you got briefly if you could what about the military isn't supporting president mugabe

right now that is very difficult to tell because from the accident they're saying that the president is safe and his family in the us today guiding him as the head of state so it is easy to say that probably has been moved out of these offices or he's. chopped. or we can rely on at the moment he's this statement that the army has issued out to say that ysaye for and the u.s. to regard he is the commander in chief of the defense forces privilege muslim harry for us from harare thanks very much for that. and we'll have more details from zimbabwe as they come in we're moving on now to some of the other stories making news four people have been killed nearly a dozen injured in a shooting at an elementary school in northern california a gunman carrying a semiautomatic weapon and two handguns opened fire at multiple locations before he

was slain by police two children are among the wounded u.s. president has returned to the white house after wrapping up a five nation tour of asia the u.s. leader left from the philippines on tuesday where he pushed for fair trade deals. trip that also helped unite asia pacific countries against north korea's missile and nuclear programs german jets on the macro and other european leaders are expected today to lead a diplomatic push for progress on talks to implement the paris climate accord those negotiations are currently underway in the german city of bonn president trumps threat to pull america out of the paris deal has created pressure for other governments to stress their support. while all stallions have voted overwhelmingly in favor of same sex marriage in a national survey the poll was non-binding but it ensures that parliament will consider

a bill this year to legalize same sex unions supporters have been out celebrating the news the australian bureau of statistics says that almost sixty percent of registered adults who responded voted yes to the reform despite opposition from government conservatives and the catholic church australia is expected to become the twenty six nation to pass legislation on the issue. speaking after the vote the straw in prime minister malcolm turnbull reiterated his commitment to getting legislation passed in parliament. people have spoken in their millions and i have voted overwhelmingly yes for marriage equality. they voted yes and then yes they voted yes for commitment they voted yes for love and now it is up to us here in the parliament of a strike to get on with that they get on with the job the astroland people of task

has to do and get this done this year before christmas well as possible let's go now to sydney australia we're joined by the journalist tom westbrook tom the prime minister there very confident that parliament will pass legislation before christmas but will it really be that simple. well in a word maybe there is already legislation before parliament was introduced to soft an urban and the result of the vote while non-binding freeze up lawmakers for a free vote so they're not going to be bound by party lines and it looks like those numbers are enough to get it through both houses and pasta legislation however there is a core group of. anti same sex marriage law makers in the parliament

and they are worried about the just freedom being undermined by these laws they're worried you know about bakers being forced to make cakes for gay weddings if their . consciences object is on religious grounds and they are determined to introduce a whole bunch of amendments to this bill and their effect on it even though the numbers are relatively small their effect on this process is sort of unclear so it is it could happen very quickly or otherwise depending on how long the debate goes it could be held up for quite some time ok now if it's held up does that mean it could not be passed or going to be watered down to be unrecognizable in the end. both of those are somewhat remote but certainly possibilities because i mean there's politics in between in between this vote sitting today and the legislation becoming becoming

a reality at some point down the track so. i think it would be difficult for politicians to resist such a strong. resoundingly overwhelming really endorsement of same sex marriage by strand ins sixty one percent support it in the vote that's the same number of people who really been in favor of this for years according to medical polls ok tom westbrook for us our journalist and said they thanks very much for that. you're welcome. also we saw our video there many people have been celebrating australia's yes vote by sharing their personal love stories as well on social media like this couple this user says that even if the official bill still has to be passed by parliament in his eyes his marriage equality map sure looks a lot better after today some are marking the results of the same sex marriage survey in their own way the sydney opera house for example lit up the famous building in rainbow colors a symbol of course of the rights and we also see high ranking politicians

congratulating the country like out of this prime minister justin trudeau who says love wins and australia is thrilled to hear australians have voted in favor of legalizing same sex marriage and those on the country same sex marriage became legal in two thousand and five. this did have you know still to come on the show the perils of crossing to europe we need a nigerian man who has not heard from his daughter since she set off for a new life months ago. versus go over to helena more woes for germany's biggest carmaker yeah that's right provokes father more problems both at home and abroad german authorities raided the offices of several senior officials at the scandal plagued or to make of this time in connection with a cushy salary paid to its works council chief investigate his search the offices of supervisory board chairman hands to poach and at least two other top executives

cash strapped venezuela has partially defaulted on its massive debt pile that's according to the rating credit rating agencies sounded impose and fitch now the states is given to a country when it fails to pay one or more of its financial obligations s. and p. gave in his way to a thirty day period of grace before it came knocking but it said that the south american nation had failed to make repayments on two hundred million dollars worth of foreign debt and a last ditch attempt the government in caracas met to try to renegotiate its debt but to no avail. is venezuela running out of money a sovereign default is expected on a daily basis but the much awaited answer for decisive government meeting with creditors ended abruptly after only thirty minutes afterwards participants talked of having listened to confuse statements but no concrete proposals on restructuring the country's massive debt instead they were offered colorful packets of venezuelan chocolate and coffee as recently as sunday president nicolas maduro said his

country would never default and promised investors a good deal but wrapping up tuesday's proceedings with a press conference venezuelan vice president tarek ally sami had nothing firm to say about his country's future speaking on state controlled t.v. rather than laying out a plan he blamed the u.s. for venezuela's quandary talking of an economic war by donald trump against his country. a few months ago the u.s. imposed sanctions on venezuela that the e.u. hasn't followed suit but did impose an embargo on weapon sales to caracas the e.u. doesn't want to worsen the plight of venezuela's people who are suffering under catastrophic shortages economists estimate venezuelan inflation is running at more than seven hundred percent food and medical supplies are scarce but venezuela still hopes to pull through there is a cause and little bit of positive news on the horizon that there are courts that venezuela could see as

a restructuring with russia perhaps that could be announced later on in the week. an agreement with russia could keep the venezuelan debt cliffhanger going for another few days at least. well let's bring in dr tom long at the university of warwick in the u.k. now he's a specialist in latin america tom what can we expect venezuela to take into bankruptcy and how likely is it that russia may come to its say with some debt restructuring thank you very much for having me well i think that this was going to be facing a really hard time and it's been looking to russia and before russia to china for solutions for quite a while as it stands have been mounting more than sixty billion dollars in bonds but a total external debt that's probably well over over twice that so the us was going to continue facing difficulties because it's in the middle of one cash crunch and

two it's negotiations have been complicated by u.s. actions yet i mean restructuring of its debt could be quite tricky with those u.s. sanctions the european union has also readied sanctions the country though is spiraling into a humanitarian crisis if investors seize assets what would happen to the country what would happen to the people. well the country's been going through an incredibly difficult time for years and it's just getting more and more difficult essential even as well as using all of its declining foreign reserves and it's selling off many of its foreign assets many of those in the oil sector to be able to meet these debt payments and to be able to support a really costly and inefficient multiple currency exchange rate scheme and to do that it's just cut imports and then it's well. ninety five percent of its exports are crude oil and it imports an overwhelming majority of its food and so food and

medicine are amongst the things that are immediately kind of when imports are slashed now as you as i said this is a situation that's been building c. is it has come to a head now but where does the blame is it with the united states for its sanctions or is it also to do with a caracas government essentially government to fix prices figure. well this is the blame overwhelmingly of rests with the government in venezuela the u.s. sanctions have complicated matters but they're actually very narrowly targeted venezuela could appoint other negotiators who are not under sanctions and that would ease some of the immediate difficulties of the negotiations but the root of this problem is in venezuelan mismanagement of the economy and particularly in mismanagement of the national oil company had a recession this is a country with massive oil reserves but it's well production has been falling even

as its debt problem months because it's under invested and that oil company is in real trouble dr tom along with the university of warrick thank you thank you. back to brian now in an attempt to stop the violence in me and helen as looking like a new american initiative u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is meeting with the head of mi and mars military today and with the country's de facto leader aung san suu kyi that in a bid to and the ranger crisis tillerson is expected to put pressure on the country to stop the persecution against its rohingya muslim minority more than six hundred thousand revenger have fled me and more to bangladesh since august driven out by a counter insurgency operation by security forces in the country's west the army denies committing atrocities during those operations. for more on the

story we're going out to lily and found she's the director deputy chair of the asia pacific refugee rights network and joins us from cole kuala lumpur good morning to you and thanks for being with us what do you expect thank you for since visit well i think it's really important to tell us than is actually conducting this visit the u.s. is one of the countries which still has an enormous influence on me on law. and even though they haven't taken full stands to coal the violence and gun laws and if you like ethnic cleansing and genocide they actually have been quite strong and they would ing and mr tell us in himself in fact in october. also use very strong words which talked about how the world can't stand by idly watching the human rights abuses and that the military actions really be held accountable for any of holsteins that have been conducted so they have been taking a strong stand within within its own limitations of course and i think that this

visit by to us today is going to send a very strong message that the u.s. is actually extremely concerned about the conditions on the ranch population ok what about the injured themselves who have fled to bangladesh what are you hearing from them do they want to return home. well i think i think that all of the. who fled to bangladesh and also those who are living in other countries including here in malaysia we have a very large population they would all love to eventually return home but i think not under these conditions the conditions currently are obviously conditions where they face not only extreme discrimination but also extreme violence and they really have a complete denial of basic human rights so i think any discussion about it patrick really has to be put in that context and you know unless there is actually some serious discussion about actually being able to. to grant their fundamental

human rights including citizenship including freedom of movement freedom for violence freedom from fear and and actually access to basic services like education and health i don't think really we have much to discuss about it patricia we've said we should be standing by the principle of not forcing people to go back to a place where the prosecutor which is one of the fundamental principles of refugee law and international law on the sun for us from the asia pacific refugee rights network thanks very much. now violence against migrants is also very much under scrutiny here in europe italian prosecutors opened a criminal investigation after the bodies of twenty six nigerian women were recovered from the mediterranean earlier this month but the truth about their deaths may never be known for many families at home that means a painful wait for any news from the daughters who disappeared our correspondent philip schultz went to meet them. a feeded picture is all that remains

john i'm a cruise daughter disappeared in february she was twenty three at the time a few weeks ago john received a call she had been abducted in libya on her way to europe and he would have to pay a ransom. the farmer raised six hundred euros but still has yet to see any sign of life from his daughter. then last week john found out about the deaths of twenty six young nigerian women off the coast of libya. dressed with mind of being so worried about it i don't know she's among. us. earlier this month a spanish aid ship rescued four hundred africans and sea but twenty six nigerian women were found dead at the scene their bodies floating in the water italy launched an investigation and arrested two men on human trafficking charges authorities also contacted the nigerian government but their response was muted

austin aramaic and his team deals with deaths like these on a daily basis the activist is upset that the nigerian government his government is not doing more people dying on a daily basis so no human being will be satisfied with the level more response that we accordingly gets and that is why when you see that means we know that the government's season claims that the. government needs to do more. there are many says it's a lack of opportunities at home that's causing droves of young people to flee. although nigeria has more of the strongest economies in africa over sixty percent of its population live in poverty. according to the united nations more than two thousand six hundred people have died on the mediterranean sea this year one of the main countries of origin is nigeria the government has promised to fight human

trafficking gangs and to give people a perspective but so far it hasn't lived up to the people's expectations. the government of course has a different take on all this the mass exodus of nigerian youth has less to do with the quality of life it says and more to do with the lies being told by human traffickers. most of this that have crossed the mediterranean sea on trial those who do it is that most of that in graduates so if not deceived. more it's more green up past shows over though not embark on such dangerous jungles so poverty kind noted would be way that anybody can outsource it to us. john only coo isn't really interested in a political debate after his daughter disappeared he started working evenings as a taxi driver to make some extra money he may need it if he has to he will travel

to libya himself to look for his daughter. all we have this news now about a major sporting so that two of world football's heavyweights face off in a friendly last night as germany locked horns with france now they started the scoring early on in a very tight game there and then in the second half. perfect threw a ball found t.-mo vanity stayed cool to pull both sides level like a set is struck again to put the french back to lead the seventy fifth minute but in the final seconds large tyndall equalized for germany to all the final score that. it's just a reminder of our top story at this hour zimbabwe's army has seized control of the state broadcaster and deployed tanks on the streets of harare it's denied it's leading a coup against the ailing president robert mugabe as a power struggle over his succession deepens. this is deja vu news live from berlin
