a widely anticipated speech to the nation mugabe stressed that he was still in power and would preside over a congress of his ruling zanu p.f. party next month this is although the party removed him as leader or earlier today sunapee have also said it would launch impeachment proceedings if mugabe did not step down let's listen to some of what mugabe had to say. i as the president. and. chief do. the issues. and believe that. in this period of on. and out. and. for this. nation and for the welfare of people from or from herat i were joined by journalist right in the love all right

president mugabe did not resign the presidency despite being expected to are we in crisis mode in zimbabwe how are things looking now. well i think everyone is stunned by the fact that the live television interest did not actually. how much or less expected his resignation so they still are saying. they were trying to. be given by president private. patients that he would get the nation farewell. and i want to play a quick excerpt from his speech in which he talks about what he calls the way forward let's take a lesson that way for what. would be based. by . the dry the rough.

and procedures there has to be. guiding principles of our party. in trying. we must up bright. and early you know. situation and before remember. so is he implying about the approaching gonna p.f. congress will decide his fate when i think from that clip that you you played significantly seem the right president is blocking the rise off a rival faction which we know wasn't on p. of which of late by the form of vice president emma someone i quote when you say that you know we kind of the slopping or fly in cheek with another and it seems you know to an extent you try to. appeal to a sense of justice in the field to

a sense of order and and following the podge of principles and rules where as in reality he's own faction or the dozens that i was supporting is wife way expelling former party members i've become so they the sense that now that he's cornered you know he's appealing to a sense of justice that lives simply tried to play by the rule book and one would look at it and say it's a case which is a bit too far too late and we hear now that new protests have been announced so far this and the whole situation things have remained peaceful this is something that mugabe himself even noted isn't likely to stay that way now. i saw that the chairman has faith that people must come out on the streets on a whim state obvious that think that telling factor would be the what the proceedings of impeachment going to be like going on tuesday and then after people

we will have a sense in the direction of how things are supposed to teach to unfold but at the moment i don't get a sense that filing is what people are turning to because there's still a couple of question of course of his that are in the pipeline. mugabe is one of if not the longest serving strongman in africa are other strongman around the continent watching this situation what kind of message does the whole situation fans. yeah i mean i think of the different the people that are watching from different them african countries faced with the same predicament of having a strong man they're taking with their fingers. and the resistance which is a strong woman who doesn't like any strong women i think it's a bit too much or just rather than the end is arrived and you want to try and you did are you charging to prevent it. and this is what we're seeing that even though everything is being done by the pope he's just he's an attempt to maintain peace

the refusal of the or you know like all strong ministers to go hold strong women so i think definitely how does mike win situation the will and the from the people looking to you to see and take note from those that are in africa. in the in the zimbabwean capital harare thank you so much for your insights thank you. here in germany chancellor angela merkel is continuing a final push to forge a new government hours after a self-imposed imposed deadline expired merkel's conservative alliance is looking to form a coalition with the pro-business free democrats and the green party but after weeks of negotiations the parties are still clashing on several key issues and it's still unclear if the parties will be able to find enough common ground to reach even a preliminary agreement. our correspondent hans brant is standing by in the cold and rain outside the building where the talks have been taking place and he joins

us now for the latest great to see you this self-imposed deadline has passed are we still in stay sis or are there any signs of a deal now being reached good question difficult. stace is i think would be going a little bit too far back so i think the talks have been going around in circles for a while maybe even four days or weeks on end and in the end the differences between the. conservatives on american side especially that wing of the party which come from bavaria and on the other hand the rather left wing green party that is the difference that has to be bridged and there is a difference has not yet been breached those two parties still seem to be pretty much at loggerheads they still seem to be presenting each other's positions to each other without really moving any closer to each other during these talks about the general secretaries of those parties was speaking publicly earlier today and in

both cases there was no sign of movement at the moment and these discussions have been going on for four weeks now why is this taking so long what are the major sticking points here. well it's taking so long because there is such a wide gap to be bridged unprecedented in german national politics that it's this kind of spectrum of political parties from quite conservative to quite leftwing it's trying to form a government the issue is really there are two issues out. at which on which they cannot agree at the moment one is the refugee crisis the refugee issue the question of how many refugees should be in germany how many should be able to come to germany in the future the conservatives have said they want a cap on the number of people that are coming into germany and this is something that they are very insistent on on the other hand the greens have said that the german constitution does not allow such

a cap to be set and therefore this question should you know the number of refugees cannot be set it has to develop according to the political developments around europe and the other question is the climate change question of the control of climate change this is something that's obviously a key issue to the green party and the other conservative parties are not really budging on that issue either so those are the two issues on which things have stuck for weeks now the loci question kind of underscoring this whole thing is what happens to machall if there's no deal. absolutely that's the question this is a crucial situation for americans she's trying to continue chancellorship and if these photos fail there's a chance that she will not be able to continue as chancellor formally there are two options that if these talks fail one is not go forms a minority government in other words she finds

a new majority every time she has some question to decide in parliament. this i think is not very likely because it's just two in secure a way of governing the other possibility obviously is that there will be fresh elections should take place it would be in the new year. thank you hans branch standing by for us outside the coalition talks we will get back to you as soon as there is a decision now to some other stories making news around the world international concern is growing over the hundreds of thousands of or hinder refugees who have fled from the violence in myanmar into bangladesh german foreign minister gabriele has visited every hinge refugee camp in bangladesh he is part of a group of european and asian foreign ministers who will discuss the crisis in myanmar capital on monday. at least fifteen people have been killed in a stampede in the southern moroccan town of city. it is reportedly reportedly
