president robert mugabe has been confined to his house a security forces patrolling the streets the opposition is calling for a transitional government but the military's next move is still not known. the army stresses this isn't a coup but with tanks and military vehicles blocking off parliament and government buildings in the capital harare it sure looks like one. and the coup is something the rest of the african union has said it will not accept. you know we in the african union are against any violent government overthrow. issued a statement saying the army should retreat and return to constitutional order. we support the legitimate zimbabwean government and in no case will we accept a forceful seizure of power or force the fate of president robert mugabe and his

wife grace is unclear but they appear to be in the custody of the military who say the couple are safe the army's intervention comes after months of power wrangling over who will succeed ninety three year old mcgovern who has ruled the country since one thousand nine hundred eighty last week mugabe fired vice president emerson one ghagra he was widely viewed as the hair apparent and backed by some of the country's most powerful generals that sacking seemed to clear the path for grace mugabe to become the next in line now the military has stopped her ascent at least temporarily. and an influential group of war veterans one staunch mugabe supporters themselves is calling for him to step aside completely where was that the robot governor so the basic chord from is the role as the president and first victory over the pier. frustration has been growing in

zimbabwe it eased to be wealthy but thirty seven years of mugabe's rule have left the economy in tatters and the question of who will take over to try and repair it has now been thrown wide open. and have on the line sand for a wonder of zambezi news it's a satirical news program a welcome sound first of all what's the situation like on the ground the tanks and the military still patrolling the streets of the capital yet you still you know that they're still there there's still a military presence but. it's also quite calm and and quiet in the city and i think this is something that the military since taking over have trying been really trying. to ensure is that it appears like it is business as usual. you know people are going to the shops people are going to work people are

sitting in cafes. but it's definitely it's you know on the surface but it's also still quite tense but is what the intentions of the military are they just looking to replace who is confined in this presidential palace or is the military there to say for a while. i think that's the you know that's the that's the big question you know you've got. a lot of zimbabweans doing that kind of celebrating that that gobby may be gone but the thing that we need really to be vigilant about is that mugabe shouldn't be replaced by a military you know a military regime by a military coup. and right now what we're hearing is rumors that maybe that maybe there's discussions between the military between the vice president and the opposition to create a kind of transitional government the key thing right now is to have some kind of

transitional government or start to that takes over and not just a military regime that runs the affairs of the country now the head of the african union told you that the organization does not support any military takeover what will or will outside countries play in this crisis do you think well i think those those who play the most significant role will be will be south africa and the savak nations of africa and there's currently a meeting of static heads of state happening in botswana to try and diffuse the situation the fact of the matter is that the military seem to be opposed to south africa getting involved because the south african government has been has had a very loud silence about all of mugabe's abuses of power. over there you

know over the last over the last decade or so there is a jet also mistrust of what the intentions of the south african government might be and they're wanting to try and restore. its power ride to sanford i'm under of some lazy news in harare the capital of zimbabwe thank you very much thanks. less arctic look at some other stories making news around the world lebanon's former prime minister saad hariri has accepted an invitation to travel from saudi arabia to paris that's according to the french foreign minister bernard rooted accuse the saudis of detaining her read it following his shock resignation earlier this month lebanon's president has said he hopes hurried his departure means the crisis caused by the resignation is over. human rights watch is accuse the myanmar military of widespread rape of women and girls the rights group alleges that for the past three months me and my security forces have used sexual violence as

a tactic of ethnic cleansing targeting the muslim minority in the country i mean mars army has denied the allegations. the u.s. delegation of the united nations climate conference in the german city of bonn is expected to defend president trumps rejection of a global action plan on climate change this as other leaders have pushed negotiators for urgent action to reduce c o two emissions. greece has declared a day of national mourning after severe floods in athens left at least fourteen people dead more heavy rains are expected today and officials say the death toll could rise as crews search flooded homes. now here in germany chancellor angela merkel says talks to forge a new government have exposed serious differences between parties but she remains optimistic on form your coalition negotiations are now entering a crucial phase of the deadline for

a deal running out tonight americans conservatives have been locked in difficult exploratory talks with the business friendly three democrats and the environmental greens now there's growing concern that the junior parties could walk away and trigger a snap election if their demands are not met and there's major disagreement on the refugee policy and whether or not the refugees should be allowed to bring their families to germany to mean tensions on that issue between the bavarian wing of the conservatives the c.s.u. and the greens do opposite ends of the political spectrum i'll talk to our political correspondent in just a bit but first here's where they stand. by me and to some common that's how we want to analise to be together it's about integration and being humane we want humanity and order i'd there connected. those with subsidiary protection can stay for two or three years and then a decision will be made as to whether or not the situation in the home country has

changed so they can return they do not have an absolute right. in full face to. now following the story for us is our correspondent rupert video but look at how the parties come any closer together on these various contentious issues. no not really on the only thing these parties agree on is to dis agree and this is not very much one must say after three weeks off for a limited talks to form a government in the end what we do see is that as the deadline of tonight is coming closer that the tone is getting rougher and tougher especially in between the three smaller parties the junior parties sees you f.t.p. and the green party for instance the leader of the parliament of the greens in parliament today said that he cannot see that the other parties would be offering any compromise whatsoever and has a counterpart of the bavarian party see as you said that the greens would still be

clinging on to meet evil demands so this doesn't sound very reassuring to me then i mention tensions between the bodies let's listen to a remark from a leading a green party member. after time the unit goshi eight and stop the general attacks on other parties radically well i'll have to believe that these gentlemen don't want to see constructive and successful negotiations at all if that's the case they should say so. that was pretty combative listening to that how likely is an agreement tonight. well there are other first voices within the parties that say well but we need a little bit more time perhaps we should lift the deadline and lift the pressure a little bit perhaps then we could read perhaps then it's easier to reach an agreement but then on the other hand you have to say the deadline has been set of this put some pressure on all parties and all parties have already planned to come up with some sort of a statement after after tomorrow or on on on the day of tomorrow and to start some

sort of debate within their own parties whether they want to go into this government yes or no so i think it is really needed that the agreement has to be presented tomorrow they have to show something to the public something they can debate on. especially as there are several obstacles on the table that have been there for quite a while now it doesn't make any sense to discuss it go on discussing on issues like energy they still are discussing whether germany needs to end the burning of coal in order to produce electricity they still they still don't have they haven't found any agreement yet on climate protection they haven't found any agreement yet on the ability and the call for an end to combustion engines and so there still are many obstacles on the table that these are still the obstacles that have been there from the very beginning thought doesn't make any sense to go on talking i think you know i do a pretty good about thank you very much for that assessment you're welcome. you're

watching new d.v.d.'s still to come the wild anti doping agency has backed a ban on russia but is it beating in the winter olympics are there actually medal hopes really on ice. but first we're going to have an hour from our business is going to do has set out its plans for the future helena that's right amrita vostok and planning to ramp up its production of electric cars in china the german called make us says it will spend ten million euros over the next seven years to develop new he calls and hybrids for the chinese market he w aims to produce four hundred thousand cars annually by twenty twenty the capacity growing to one point five million that compares to about four million cars sold in china last year and it comes off to china and else the world's most stringent electro mobility quotas folks foghat has been making efforts to move away from

combustion engines offered admitted two years ago to cheating on diesel emissions tests. times check in with our financial correspondent do my loan is in frankfurt for us hopefully we should be able to talk to her now jenelle how are investors reacting to this news. well investors are certainly celebrating from this and the share price has been pushed up more than two and a half percent making making it one of the clear winners in today's trading and this positive reception of course is something that fog bank could really use it shows that it's making gains in the rather lofty goals that set one of them of course being to invest twenty billion euros and electric vehicles by twenty thirty now of course there are challenges up ahead how fast charging infrastructure in places like china catch up also is a fact that we don't know yet but at least the costs of building these so-called new energy vehicles have been dropping as more manufacturers get in on the action

of course that creates economies of scale and that's something that investors are quite happy about because it increases the chances of a quicker adoption of electric vehicles so if you know more access to the chinese market something european companies have been complaining about so does this signal a turning point. well just because of china's sheer size and importance as a market it's allowed china to dictate somewhat some stringent rules amid a quite ambitious agenda of course want to get out of petrol and vehicle vehicles petrol gas and petrol vehicles by twenty forty with quotas for electric vehicle sales being set gradually every year but this is actually a point where they listen to some of the foreign carmakers complaints at least because they had setbacks direct quote us that were due already to be rolled out next year in terms of electric vehicles to up to twenty eighteen so that's

something a german car makers especially have to listen to as well and make sure that they don't like behind all right ginnell for us in a frank but good to talk to you. now the european parliament has overwhelmingly approved legislation to protect you industries against excessively cheap imports from non e.u. countries it also allows investigators to consider environmental and labor standards in countries of origin when it's sitting in tariffs the new sea fleet intended to offset the consequences of granting china market economy status the world trade organization which will make it more difficult to prove illegal trade practices by beijing china has been heavily criticized undermining the global steel and solar panel markets by dumping excess production of course. it's well that rapid pace of industrialization in china means that pollution there is legendary armed alone druther by the country's importing environmental problems

the government is trying hard to clean up coal has been a major polluted not only for steel production but also for the basics of life in villages such a change as china converts to gas just in time for winter china's toxic air pollution is said to cost two million primitive deaths there every year and household coal usage is a major contributor to the misery now the government is winning consumers on to natural gas for their heating and cooking. gas has been racing to start piping it to over three hundred rouble villages like here in south asia and one. fifty three year old resident wang yang is one of the last of millions to be converted but the conversion has a price a family's energy bill will rise a full forty percent this year though she does see the benefits yeah inertly no i think when called turns to gas it's much cleaner than before now there's no need to

out coal and be very dirty and i don't need to wear a mask to fix the stove. when cooked or sun the first meal on the new gas cooker scrambled eggs and steamed dumplings. for her it's a major improvement in the quality of life. now it's more convenient than using coal now the gas comes immediately when you switch it on you don't need to feel as anxious as before when you're cooking this is faster. but village life remains hard to save money when with only heat with the gas after six p.m. when her grandson returns home from kindergarten. back over to amrita now a piece of all wants a pittance going for it also not now every so absolutely helena a would you pay four hundred fifty million dollars for a painting where a painting by the renaissance mosler not a da vinci well one anonymous biased certainly did that's an astounding tries for

a painting that was once bought torched to be by one of the students previously that changed hands for just a few thousand dollars but at christie's in new york it was a different story. ladies and gentlemen we moved to the little richie the suburbs of modern day the masterpiece probably not of christ the savior of previous and the collections of three kings of england savior of the world a core traits of jesus christ one of fewer than twenty paintings known to exist by their own a sense master ninety minute looking for ninety five and house christie said the pre-sale estimate at one hundred million dollars but that was soon exceeded but if i go one third over. well i wouldn't say i have it one hundred ten million go get me one twenty the bidding via phone just getting going on ninety has been you heard at your place your place with francois in a fifth place at one hundred ninety billion otto at one hundred ninety million give

me two hundred one night is two hundred million is that so you are good million two hundred million just how high could it go at two hundred eighty million dollars so we're all down maybe not. i don't take the photograph quite the next milestone three hundred but i give it to ninety dollars. i thought so the three hundred million. and even though it's was in the top. three hundred seventy million back to france was clause three hundred and seventy million dollars and that was for him it is. not a service of what is selling here i christie's four hundred million dollars is the bit and the piece is sold. with an extra fifty

million commission for christie's the total price tag four hundred fifty million dollars the buyer has so far remained anonymous so we don't know if the public will ever get a chance to see the work again. joining me now is robert and he is an auctioneer order and an art expert with a gun and bag of action house here in butt and welcome robert that's an incredible painting and it is by leonardo da vinci but who possibly could afford to pay so much money for a piece of art. hello and nice to have you on the show. i have a i have an idea who my by of did leonardo da vinci and it was probably the gates spend in the nine hundred ninety s. bill gates i would say so because he spent on the leicester codex nine hundred ninety four almost thirty two million and he is

a prominent bio of very exclusive and she has money to afford such a painting it's spectacular the prize is wonderful. ok it's a big it certainly has the money as you said but we still don't know it's still being described as an anonymous bya a four hundred fifty million dollars never has a painting fred such a huge price what do you make of this as an auctioneer. well it shows me that there's a lot of money on the market there's a demand for masterpieces as huge demand for pieces you can only buy it once in your lifetime and this puts it all together there were only two buyers at the end spending almost half a billion of us of story of dollars it was spectacular and there's so much market and demand for high class and teak and fine art of course

usually they spent money on modern art more surprisingly was an old master painting achieving such a huge amount of four hundred fifty million dollars amazing unbelievable stuff and there's me and i think i. made it as an auctioneer and as an art to x. what do you think this painting was really what it. that is a really good question it is oil on wood so. if you ask me from that point of view of course it's not worth that much money but of course if you're really like. an art collector as its top you're seeking for museum quality and it was the last piece existing in private hands by leonardo da vinci on the art market the last piece you can imagine of course your last time your last chance to buy such an artwork on the aftermarket of course it's not vote for fifty mil it's worth what

the payer is willing to pay for it and it shows me that really. interesting pieces was. a long history of course and was such a great name of united when she it attracts buyer all over the world that's right or no me it shows me people love art and and there's still a market for art we have to leave it there robert and another action here and an expert great to have you on the show if you don't is for now and russia's hopes of making the february winter olympics in a prime chunk south korea still hang in the balance this after the world anti doping agency decided not to lift its suspension failure to meet riders anti doping code could cost russia a spot in the games. russia is still in a state of denial and it could cost them a spot at the winter games in pyongyang south korea. the country's anti doping body

hasn't fulfilled our wada requirements to have its two year suspension left at one main reason the refusal to publicly accept allegations of state sponsored doping. what is need sponsored doping it's the purchase of doping drugs with state money drugs that are given to athletes that cannot have been the case. that's not all access to the urine samples from suspected cheats is also a thorny topic our moscow reporter meo taxol which has the latest on the sample controversy. the russian anti doping agency isn't allowing sealed samples from russian flits to be tested at tests could prove that even more affluence to perform and hansen drugs there we know of so far russian president vladimir putin is under pressure but the country's sports minister has already come out calling the latest decision political in character the investigative reporter higher palled says

ultimately russia may not be able to compete under its own flag if that will happen and it has been said already by the russian government the russians will not go to the olympics it will be a boycott that will be a dramatic development the international olympic committee will have the final say in december. to football non peru have grabbed the thirty second and final spot in the world cup in russia next year the some of the american side defeated new zealand two nil in their playoff second leg this is peru's first appearance of the was cup since nine hundred eighty two. and now the peru have taken the last thoughts we know the seedings and the plots for next june and july as world cup the draw for the group stage will be made after the kremlin in moscow on the first of december here now is a look at the parts and among the top seeds we see the usual suspects minus

eliminated italy of course but there is also the surprise name of poland they benefit from their high fee for ranking after a strong qualifying campaign moving to parch to improve find themselves among the seconds seeds along with the four more winners spain and england but three includes tournament debutants iceland and your member iceland from the european championships and we know they cannot be drawn in the same group as federer nordic nations denmark and sweden remember europe is the only confederation that can have two teams in one group and the final spot but has some comparatively big names such as full my semifinalists south korea and they are set for a very very tough group indeed i hope you will take notes while i was talking well here's a recap of the top story that we're following for you on the view the remains under military control the day after the institutions present robert mugabe is under
