8:16 pm
that we needed a new president and that could be what lamping crowd and sending the energy for and then something that they've done successfully but today people are celebrating out here without thinking about whether or not this is going to get them into trouble i cannot explain what this means to people. whether it will that they. actually have these are people who are saying that we have sent to play special something had to happen and the question i put the people i. run the work was. i'm people one thing one can solve i'm going to get advice. because it's incredibly long this is about. the wealth in this country and now they have a sense of mobs of looking people in the you have all. the misery that they had

8:18 pm
a democratic change a party led by morgan tsvangirai ok mr kraus a very good evening a historic day where you are descriptive us your reaction when you first heard about what happened well it's been a very emotional day or have exactly the last five days and really been something else i would have never in my wildest imaginations have imagined that we could see this day happen as that we were sitting in involvement in beijing the impeachment process and when the speaker interrupted events and rid out is that the president's letter of resignation and there was pandemonium and i think that the experiences are. we really are relieved that he's gone
8:19 pm
and personally for me. remember i'm of his generation. i can remember you know his struggle for independence the struggle for to put black people in zimbabwe on their feet and give them some dignity and pride and some kind of future after eighty years of white repressive government and. and i was. frankly a little bit sad that he had to go like this and be dragged through the mud as he has done today you know really i think that sat with really rejoicing and standing on on his on his first day on his grave who should take over now i mean there's been so much economic hardship for the people of zimbabwe who is the person who can help these people get back on their feet but an idea were
8:20 pm
what i would like to seeing i'm a member of the mood for democratic change i would like to see in a free and fair election in a new government swarming alternate action that's not going to happen. the military have a very certain grip on power they've had that grip on power for more than twenty years they're not going to relinquish that easily and we mustn't think that just by removing wisdom of gobby that in fact we've results or without political problems we haven't. the man who's going to take over from him is a man code. money god what. and he was looking out of his right hand man for more than sixty years is a brilliant man a barrister well educated very clever tactician and and was going to rise up and when he was in the various ministerial courts and he says he'll have the last that he thought that he's a thirty seven years he's done extremely well he's not
8:21 pm
a man to take lightly he's fit and with good reason now the question is what kind of dispensation will he bring into the country and i think that's the real question for zimbabweans for tomorrow and what i wonder as well mr cross what i wonder is all sorry for cutting off there and what i wonder as well is is this really a change i mean if you just remove or in this case that robert mugabe has stepped down himself if the army is still so much in charge and zanu p.f. still basically runs zimbabwe has anything changed. well we had to get rid of the no changes possible while the old man was. absolutely i think there's a specific change but very much depends on what i meant it was a moment gaga. and there are many people hands about we today who if
8:22 pm
chris ever hitchen as to what kind of regime he's going to establish i personally think there is a chance that he will in fact reform the state and it might well be that he would be the only man who could actually do that handle in the us the conflicts inside the ruling party which are many as well as handling the army as a power section in science about when politics and and i think he's the one man who can handle all that but it very much depends on whether he's prepared to make the concessions to the international community and the domestic opposition that are necessary to give him credibility and to put zimbabwe on a new vet into the future so we'll have to wait and see him mr eddie cross a founding member of movement for democratic change the party led by morgan tsvangirai thank you so very much sir thank you.
8:23 pm
and also shal media mugabe's arose resignation is trending as you might imagine many reactions to that surprise announcement zimbabwean media mogul trevor in kuwait writes i'm so emotional i never thought i would see this day when gabi has resigned in my lifetime this is a stepping stone towards zimbabwe that we want and it won't be easy all former. politician david call tar tweeted. we have removed a tyrant but not yet a tyranny we thank god for this day but there are also some expressing commiseration the zimbabwe it minister jonathan writes there lever be anyone like mugabe i am grateful for the opportunity to serve my country under and with him i am proud that i stood with and by this iconic leader during the trying moments of the last days of his presidency democracy requires politics to leave the gun and
8:24 pm
zimbabwe activists pastor evan who started the hash tag this flack for citizens to vent anger against mugabe's government writes my fellow citizens robert mugabe has resigned the journey has been long and hard but we did it i can't stop crying the future beckons so some conflicting reactions there mugabe's resignation comes after massive protests and a military takeover the man who ruled some way for nearly four decades earned a reputation as a much feared dictator but as we see now in this report is beginnings. robert mugabe was born in one thousand twenty four to a poor family in a country that no longer exists the british colony of southern rhodesia a champion of black independence he rose to prominence in the early one nine hundred sixty s. but whites with archie saw him as a threat throwing mugabe in jail for

8:26 pm

east where the effect in suffering from this book. but is more of just a statement to many nigerians because of the increase in christian. pacts with so-called soft targets. always why can't the brewery administration protect protect its citizens because we don't know who perpetrated this this attack but a while ago the president and the security forces have said you know we are we have eradicated boko haram but we keep seeing attacks like these happen again what are they not doing right. ex-parte attributed these two different problems some see it as luck of intelligence between the agencies to be able to tackle this who might have run are we from the bush to this city and
8:30 pm
this attacks and then some see it with the with. be treated the i mean who are fighting have been complaining of so many problems ranging from lack of pimento of a lousy is and some have been still there for long without changing den and you've been in the bush type of book wired on for quite a long time on this effect do we of the criticism on commitment to five acquire but that is a sin no we're going to continue to have this soft target attack because if you degraded it is going to take a long time to find to get to the final solution to the problem. all right to do have use to ac just reporting from a budget nigeria thank you. and back here in germany germany is in a political limbo after talks to form a new coalition government collapsed americal has been in office for twelve years
8:31 pm
but for the first time her future looks uncertain the man whose party prompted the breakup of these talks just in the near visited the german president today for discussions on how to break the political deadlock while the earlier co-chairs of the green party also met with their steinmeyer in the presidential palace and well as a back room discussions that continue germans are split on what should happen next as for angela merkel she says she would rather run again in fresh polls than lead a minority government. at least the ocean is in germany's parliament can stick to their regular routine they cordoned off areas for t.v. interviews and prepared for the upcoming session otherwise nothing here is business as usual in this type president of gun show his concerns start to get my goal today to power comes from the people the people have spoken to us with these elections and now we must act in accordance on responsibly. and. although
8:32 pm
the failed coalition talks weren't officially on the agenda i'm glad merkel was under close scrutiny which he tried to persuade the social democrat leader martin shultz to join a new grand coalition that would be the easiest way out of the gridlock but the s.p. day doesn't seem willing to help the chancellor. it's been for megumi from merkel has failed miserably with the coalition she wanted she can't lead apparently she's lost her touch and now parliament can try by itself to make progress perhaps it'll be even better for the people wouldn't he to build a few nights ago a few near the pro-business free democrats have also had enough of michael for the moment they walked out of talks on sunday party leader christiane linton german president frank valter steinmeyer on tuesday afternoon but he and other party members appear reluctant to go back to the negotiating table. binding speaking nothing was achieved in the talks we weren't able to bring change and reform into german politics it wasn't an easy decision but it needed to be taken to avoid
8:33 pm
losing credibility. but the greens meanwhile find themselves getting closer to michael and her conservative bloc with the it would make most sense for all parties involved to resume negotiating we're ready to talk. but in the end talking alone isn't enough in order to form a stable government chancellor merkel will have to find a clear majority within parliament in thailand and many here believe the only way to do that are fresh elections. i want to shift our attention now to india where a father's emotional post on social media has kicked off a heated debate about the country's health care system and for the former social media desk is here to tell us more about a take away of social system so a seven year old girl named dia saying she died of dengue fever after being treated for about two weeks in a private hospital in a delhi suburb and the outcry began when her father posted
8:34 pm
a long message on facebook describing the dreadful experience that the family went through in that hospital and he says in that post that the family was advised to bring their daughter to a private hospital as opposed to a public one but once they got there they began to be charged ludicrous amounts of money for the treatment he gave a few examples and he said that they were forced to pay for more than six hundred syringe is and nearly three thousand pairs of gloves in the two week period and that's a lot for just one patient and after the girl passed the parents received a nine thousand pages long bill for a total of eighteen lakhs that's close to twenty four thousand euros or twenty eight thousand dollars and it's a huge amount of money by any standard for a private hospital in india and you can see some pictures of that bill right now and they went viral on social media and the father wrote in his facebook post on
8:35 pm
having lost our beloved daughter we were not in our wits to question before it is monetary as well as humanly we've been we were butchered by the hospital administration and the sentiments that this father is expressing there were actually confirmed to us by a medical medical expert that we spoke to he told us that the situation that parents endure in private hospitals in india could be compared to a hostage situation is a sort of emotional kid kidnapping a dog. take advantage of vulnerable parents and they do not really i mean parents only want the best for their children and unfortunately they do not realize that they're being ripped off and overcharge for treatment until it's too late terrible ordeals or for any parent but have people reacted to this is change going to be brought about as a consequence of this will hopefully for sure the story of a deal has sparked a heated debate about the private hospital industry in india now because public
8:36 pm
health structures are often in poor state indians rely heavily on the private hospitals and people are now saying these have become a sort of money making machine and they're putting profits over patients and of course people have been voicing their concerns also on social media we have a user here who writes the fortis hospital incident so ideas incident is an example of how unmonitored the medical sector in india is now reacting to the outrage the hospital responded please be assured that a thorough investigation will be carried out and that the outcomes will be shared and also now the government's getting involved with the indian have minister j.p. not he promised that all necessary action will be taken so the case really is shining a light on this problem and hopefully it will help bring about change for the

8:40 pm
the surprise announcement was made in parliament as lawmakers there were debating his impeachment the ninety three year old had been clinging on to power in the weeks following a military takeover and expulsion from his ruling zanu p.f. party. but we have some business news now where danielle to a mega merger that u.s. president donald trump once stopped in its tracks why there's mixed feelings over this lane of the u.s. department of justice is suing to stop a t.n.t.'s proposed acquisition of time warner the suit sets up the biggest anti trust colt clash in decades over the eighty five billion dollars tie up the u.s. government says the merger of the telecom and the content creator would harm competition resulting in higher costs for consumers. it's no secret that u.s. president donald trump doesn't like c.n.n. in fact he seems to relish lashing out at the broadcast company which he calls fake
8:41 pm
news his most famous attack may have been a retreat a gif of him pretending to wrestle its logo that tweet could become exhibit a in the antitrust battle about to be waged between the u.s. government and eighty and the president's outburst give life to a counter argument in the case namely that the government is trying to squeeze c.n.n. by making it poison to eighteen takeover of its parent company time warner. appears ready to make just such an argument there's been a lot of reporting and speculation whether this is all about c.n.n. and frankly i don't know but nobody should be surprised at the question keeps coming up because we've witnessed such an abrupt change in the application of and i trust law here so any agreement that results in us forfeiting control of c.n.n. whether directly or indirectly is a nonstarter yet trump was already critical of the deal before his feud with c.n.n. calling it unfair during his campaign a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration
8:42 pm
of power in the hands of too few. that's hardly an extreme position senators in both parties have openly worried the merger would hamper competition supporters say the companies never competed with one another in the first place trump's fixation on c.n.n. now threatens to overshadow those arguments it's become a recurrent theme in his administration his own words as a burden to his own policies that out the european banking and medicines agencies are moving away from london paris and amsterdam will be hosting them post for exit as well over a year and three months to go but already the e.u. is making clear preparations for the devil. this is the future home of the european banking authority paris won the right to host the agency after winning a coin toss against the irish capital dublin competition to host the institution had been fierce though in the end it came down to chance france's europe minister
8:43 pm
described the outcome as a testament to her country's standing in the block. system. some people said we didn't have a chance and yet we won we managed to convince people that france was back on the european stage that we were serious about banking regulation that paris was attractive as a european banking harbors the fact that the e.p.a. will soon be in paris showed the attractiveness of paris as an economic and financial hub. in the selection was a blow to the german city of frankfurt which had been hoping to cash in on its reputation as a center of european banking. it's a pity that the banking authority isn't coming to frank for us of course people can see that germany is not on top right now as the french are just ahead but still will get the majority of the british banks that are currently still in london frankfurt is and forever will be europe's number one banking location and just.
8:44 pm
another city in celebration mode is amsterdam it won the right to host the european medicines authority. the e.u. and they currently employ some nine hundred people but estimates suggest that twenty percent of positions could be cost as a result of the move from london. u.k. banks and london based e.u. institutions. the twenty seven remaining member states are ready carving up the spoils of britain's departure from the european union. now something i'll keep in mind when i'm shopping for my favorite pair of shoes the european union is to end on line territorial restrictions known as jewel blocking by the end of twenty. eighteen geo blocking prevents consumers from a shopping on websites based in a different e.u. country is part of the union's push towards a digital single market under the new rules websites must not discriminate between customers from different e.u.
8:45 pm
states the online sale of services or goods that will help stimulate competition within the european union and encourage cross border train. coming up with a good design isn't as simple as turning a rough sketch into reality there's a lot of thought poured into the practicality of the product before it can be made the process is called design thinking the hasso plattner institute of design thinking is now bringing its rather european approach to the discipline to south africa as julia jackie finds out. it might look like something you'd find in a preschool but these toy boxes are actually part of the school of design thinking in cape town. today twenty post grad students are embarking on a three month long foundation course it's. the concept of design thinking was developed by industrial designers in the one nine hundred sixty s. with one core principle putting the needs of others first program manager can you
8:46 pm
weigh money i think this kind of method can be applied well in an african context. i think in africa we've been trying to solve some of the complex programs that we have in the way we've been doing it is that we sit somewhere and dream up sort of shien's and we impose those solutions through communities where is design thinking and says it's that's where they are it's that's where the people the students practice using design thinking by working on real world problems a local and wants them to create a museum for children applying design thinking means they need to understand what the kids themselves would like. the next meeting and saying up and her teammates had to younger a township on the outskirts of cape town. at the local primary school they asked people is what a museum for children should look like. parents are lots of free
8:47 pm
space to dance and play and they do so i like to learn more about different cultures. after taking notes so you know up and her team a satisfied we want to reach feature if we can kind of need to go out last. week but. the day school students say goodbye to the kids now they have two weeks to develop their very own concept for a children's museum based on what they've learned. on the day of the presentation they know this full and. so the remaining four members of the present their assignment to the project in this they've created a lego model to explain their ideas which includes a dining hall a maze and a big playground the ngo appreciates the help i really enjoy the presentation that the students come up with. some of the stuff is things that we had thought of
8:48 pm
before. but i think the way they took us through it just took it a step. one day hopefully these students will get the chance to apply design thinking to real life projects all over africa. something to look forward to but for now back to live with thank you danielle you're watching the news we still have a lot more ahead a special family reunion in israel a one hundred two year old holocaust survivor meets the nephew he never knew he had thanks to a one of a kind database. but first in an exclusive interview with. qatar's foreign minister has accused saudi arabia of undermining security in the gulf region shaikh mohammed bin abdul rahman at that he met his german counterpart maher gabriele and berlin today the two men opened a qatari cultural center germany has taken an active role in diplomatic efforts to end the blockade of qatar by other gulf states including saudi arabia speaking to
8:49 pm
the music christopher spring gate and he said the saudis were refusing to engage in dialogue. you're excellent so you criticized saudi arabia last week for what you call reckless leadership wasn't that a little bit undiplomatic i wasn't talking specifically about saudi arabia i was talking about the region that it's the main a problem we have that there is that at least with the ship there is a pattern of behavior which is happening from the blockading states and other nations which are now undermining very generous security and stability and we are not saying this just in the same for the sake of a criticism but we are letting that there is a growing concern in the region that affect and impact right away. the stability of the region and we are letting the international community since the region is very important for a bit for a bit about the end or. the saudis and their allies say that qatar sponsors
8:50 pm
extremist groups that destabilize the middle east is that the case it's not the case at all i thought i was an active player and there was again as i'm actually we've been one of the founding members of the global coalition and we are hosting the center for the global coalition and everybody you know started to realize that it was just a smokescreen to justify the blockade again and again to start it and they know very well they nor the reality of our contribution to the fight again are stirred up this narrative is being used by by saudi and u.a.e. mainly to justify him to gain sympathy with the west. as far as the conflict in the tensions between saudi arabia and qatar your country what are you doing to deescalate those tensions since the beginning we've been calling for for dialogue and since the beginning we want to understand what are the concerns of those countries if it's a security concern then it will be our own consent as well so i need to keep the to
8:51 pm

9:01 pm
mother tongue is her first film in german she can really really let loose and really show her acting chops i mean it's a very powerful performance she's a very sore strong fierce figure but also very very subtle in a lot of moments i was really amazed by this and i think it really is is is sort of her coming out as an actress in this movie and the film itself in the fade is already going to be. the oscar candidate from germany for the foreign language oscar for next year but a lot of people are already talking about diane kruger as a possible nominee for best actress so so so let's see item crossing my fingers crossing our fingers for her indeed and we've got more on our website well that's. slash culture arts got to talk to you thank you. and some soccer news now and two german teams are in the champions league action tonight in the last round of group stage matches of which could prove to be

9:10 pm
run up. to harare and for more on this historic day for the people of zimbabwe also on the show can is she hold on under pressure as germany plunges into political uncertainty after the collapse of coalition talks the german chancellor says she would rather run in new elections than lead a minority government is this the dawn of a post americal era. i'm bring goff it's good to have you with us zimbabwe minus that was the bombshell announcement delivered today in parliament the country's ruler robert mugabe
9:11 pm

9:13 pm
9:14 pm
maybe have. and that was our christine there in the middle of the crowd in the middle of history in the making in the capital harare in zimbabwe earlier today at the cross is a member of the zimbabwean parliament and one of the founders of the opposition movement for democratic change a party led by mr chang or i know earlier we asked him what robert mugabe's resignation meant for zimbabwe we had to get rid of the no changes possible while the old man was. absolutely i think no use of a specific change but very much depends on what it meant it was a moment. and there are many people hands of our we today who express every hitchen as to what kind of regime he's going to step in i personally
9:15 pm
think there is a chance that he who in fact reform the state and it might well be that he would be the only man who could actually do that handle the yes the conflicts inside the ruling party which are many as well as handling the army as a power section in science and bow in politics and and i think he's the one man who can handle all that but it very much depends on whether he's prepared to make the concessions to the international community and the domestic opposition that are necessary to give him credibility and to put somebody on a new vet into the future that was a cross a member of the zimbabwean parliament and one of the founders of the opposition movement for democratic change in zimbabwe. well police in nigeria say at least fifty people have been killed in a suicide bombing and the attack took place at
9:16 pm
a mosque in the town of movie in the northeast of the country police say a teenage bomber targeted worshipers as they were gathering for early morning prayers there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but it bears all the hallmarks of boko haram extremists nigeria's president has expressed his sorrow over these suicide attack and valid once again to secure his country from boko her all of that's despite his claim nearly two years ago that the group had been defeated so why is the government not able to provide that security but we put that question to our correspondent in. ex-parte actually look at these two different problems some see it as. intelligence between the agencies to be able to tackle this who might have run out we from the bush to this city and this attacks and then some see it with the way did you treat
9:17 pm
it the i mean what if i can book have been complaining of so many problems ranging from lack of payment outside india allowances and some have visited for long without changing day and you've been in the bush out on for quite a long time on this subject than do we of the criticism on commitment to fight require but that is a sin no we have going to continue to have this soft target attack because if you degraded before it is going to take a long time to find to get to define a solution to the problem there. there was less interest there speaking with us earlier here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world russian president vladimir putin and his syrian counterpart bashar al assad have revealed that they met yesterday in sochi the two leaders agreed to switch their efforts in syria from military operations to the search for a political solution to the country's civil war a chinese court has sentenced
9:18 pm
a prominent human rights lawyer to two years in prison for allegedly inciting subversion of state power john john yong disappeared last november visiting the family of another detained rights lawyer he was held incommunicado for six months before being formally charged. german police have arrested six syrians are suspected of planning an attack in germany on behalf of so-called islamic state these suspects were detained during a series of dawn raids in four major cities across the country they are thought to have been planning an attack on a christmas more. or germany is in political limbo after the collapse of talks aimed at forming a new coalition government the man whose party prompted the break up of those fogs the f.t.p.'s christiane linda met with the german president earlier today to discuss ways of ending the deadlock the co-chairs of the green party were also
9:19 pm
summoned to the presidential palace in berlin today you see the might there as backroom talks continue germans are split on what should happen next chancellor angela merkel says that she would rather run again in new elections then lead a minority government. at least the ushers in germany's parliament can stick to their regular routine they cordoned off areas for t.v. interviews and prepared for the upcoming session otherwise nothing here is business as usual when this type president falls gun show his concerns early starts good bye old state power comes from the people the people have spoken to us with these elections and now we must act in accordance on the responsibly. and. although the failed coalition talks weren't officially on the agenda i'm glad merkel was under close scrutiny which he tried to persuade the social democrat leader martin shultz to join
9:20 pm
a new grand coalition that would be the easiest way out of the gridlock but the s.p. day doesn't seem willing to help the chancellor. it's a move for mccabe from merkel has failed miserably with the coalition she wanted she can't lead apparently she's lost her touch and now parliament can try by itself to make progress perhaps it'll be even better for the people wouldn't he to build a few nights ago a few near the pro-business free democrats have also had enough of merkel for the moment they walked out of talks on sunday party leader christiane link no matter german president frank valter steinmeyer on choose a afternoon but he and john reform into german politics it wasn't an easy decision but it needed to be taken to avoid losing credibility that it got me spend the end of the greens meanwhile find themselves getting closer to america and her conservative bloc with the it would make most sense for all parties involved to resume negotiating we're ready to talk. but in the end talking alone isn't enough
9:21 pm
in order to form a stable government chancellor merkel will have to find a clear majority within parliament in thailand and many here believe the only way to do that are fresh elections. so what's next for the parties after these failed to go she ations our political correspondent thomas farrow put that question to green party member on the lena bear book his babble thank you very much for being with us we heard from mr scheuer earlier but he was asking all parties to be more flexible when it comes to these coalition talks what is your party prepared to do to be more flexible well we discussed more than four weeks actually if we can find compromises and we as green party have offered a couple of compromises in our topics for example with climate targets but also the question of refugee topic so i think it's really up to many parties besides
9:22 pm
us to now say ok we have to go back to the. table because we stayed there and it was the liberals who left how likely do you think that this will be the case that he will be able to go back with other parties to the negotiating table. well at the moment i don't really see it but i find it very important that our president has made a pledge again that we all have a responsibility was in our society and that we have to be open for further discussions and with screens we are open for further discussions but at the moment i think the most important thing is that the president has discussion and talks with all the party leaders and all the party leaders not only those of john mica what do you think is the most likely outcome of minority government or fresh elections or even a coalition like the one that has been discussed in recent weeks to be frank i don't know and i think nobody knows at the moment because those parties who have been at the table they did their best to come to
9:23 pm
a result one party left and therefore we have to like yeah take a step aside at the moment and really see the big picture and see if a minority government would be possible i think in our system it is not as easy as in nordic states for example but we have to look at every possibility and also we are saying ok if there's a need for a new election then we have to go this way but at the moment really have to discuss all the options on the table but how confident are you that this situation can actually be resolved my point of view it's a very difficult situation we never had this it before in our history however i'm not speaking about a trice just because we have a strong constitution who gives us all the polish possibilities to go different ways and therefore i think i don't think we are in a crisis but we are in a difficult situation and everybody has to play their part to solve this thank you very much for this interview. and here's
9:24 pm
a reminder the top story that we're following for you people in zimbabwe are celebrating the resignation of president robert mugabe you have to the thirty seven years in power the surprise announcement was made in parliament as lawmakers there were debating his impeachment the ninety three year old had been clinging on to power in the week following a military takeover. of the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day we'll see that. you find him i wasn't always successful i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth i had to find success and.
