i'm sara harmon welcome of the show it's good to have you with us we begin in egypt where a horrific attack has killed at least two hundred thirty five people and wounded many more it occurred in egypt's sinai peninsula near the provincial capital l. rish witnesses say a bomb exploded outside a mosque that was packed with worshippers for friday prayers a gunman then opened fire on people as they fled the building so far there's been no claim of responsibility. surely after the attack president abdullah fatah el-sisi addressed the nation promising to respond with what he called brutal force he also declared three days of national mourning military. i send my condolences to the families of the martyrs and my wishes for a speedy recovery for all the wounded. once again i tell all egyptians. the president speaking

a little earlier for now we're joined on the line by journalist karim hari he is the egyptian capital cairo karim thanks for being with us we know that this was a sushi mosque why would it be targeted. well that's several serious behind it of course we don't know any bill but the case responsibility so we don't know of the real motives of the seconds but there is this speculation about why this mosque and the two series the first series that it is. a look that is frequented by priests will freeze are followers of islam to follow the first spirit of an interpretation of islam and this is a really right a very much hated by the really good system is to have a more rigid of everything. the other theory is that the village where the whole thing happens is a tribe living there that is known to cooperate with the security forces

and that might be the reason why the more schools are getting that they were just old scores settled in this attack. the sinai region is known to be a volatile one why is that. where there's a small scale war between militant islamists and the state going on since many many years going back to the times of hosni mubarak but this will escalated in the last . years in the last months really always had attacks against the security forces hundreds of soldiers and policemen lost their lives in a lot of muslim fina we also had this year attacks against christians for the trial of the big exodus of the christian population from oh sorry but this attack on a mosque is you call it the first time that the mosque is attacked and

richer and the president has promised a bortle response what do you think he means by that. well i don't think you have much left to do because you already there is a book you will already going on it's not a china. air force bombed from positions in the north sinai but this is also not the first time so what were the what the president can really do which is already done in most. cities of course that they don't really really. again proving again is that good that they can not get this area under control. well we know we're looking at these pictures the attack occurred as worshipers were attending friday prayers karim painted a picture of what it would have been like at the last day. when there is conflicting reports some of them said that there's a bomb that exploded the most skilled people were escaping and were were fired upon

. other reports that basically the most words surrounded by armed men and it was started firing to the most given and people really feel they must have had a lot of pride because there are also reports that the fire upon the ambulance cause to try to approach the most good order to. injure people so it must've taken quite a long time until the security forces are right there or the militants were forced to be. an absolutely tragic situation for those people kareem algo hari thank you for being with us today from cairo you are going to police in london have now withdrawn from the busy area that surrounds oxford circus after an apparent false alarm earlier this evening news the police operation sparked panic as authorities told people to avoid the area and close the busy oxford circus

a jamaican coalition was irrepairable e shattered. the possible alliance with the greens and liberals collapsed a bitter defeat for america but not the end she takes it as a challenge and moves on. as a german chancellor as acting chancellor we will do everything possible so that this country can be led through these difficult weeks ahead if you have votes. and her party stands behind her every move despite the cd use poor election results and the failed coalition talks even policy mia formally a staunch critic now supports america. in the end the fact remains that germany need stability and if anyone represents the stability it's the german chancellor and. journalist under his wing to wrote a book called the miracle glossary for him one thing is clear even though the

jamaica coalition won't happen merkel will profit in some way. i would i think that merkel has experienced that a defeat can be transformed into a win or a small success this has happened again and again on the european stage. one triumph after months of fighting with their sister party the c.s.u. over refugee policies now the c.s.u. praises miracle. thank you thank you for these four weeks. second triumph the relationship with the greens has improved previously an alliance with the environmentally friendly party would have been unthinkable now they are potential partners. and now it's all options open to them we stand united that's the difference between

us and all other parties america. and the german president have been discussing new coalition options one thing seems clear merkel will remain chancellor. because we have no prepared and immediate successor to miracle who would be accepted by everybody and there is no one who naturally fits the bill of becoming the next chancellor that leads to the c.d.u. and c.s.u. uniting in support of america. even in the event of new elections on the americans would again step forward as a candidate even in a minority government she would remain leader. in a t.v. interview she clearly states i'm not afraid of anything. there are still new chapters to come in the medical glossary but the one covering jamaica is certainly finished. her some international news for you now.

democratic reforms and to kickstart zimbabwe's ravaged economy. i'm assuming one guy was inauguration ceremony went off with a bang and a massive military salute his fearsome reputation earned him the nickname of the crocodile and after he was sacked a month ago by ousted president robert mugabe he has snapped back to take power his inauguration comes after the sudden end to make up a thirty seven year rule but he paid tribute to the man he replaces. this. is true. to run on his and only serve right from the founding fathers. or whole nation. comrade god. you know this you know was so good for national independence his support is not

so surprising the years it was a key ally helping direct zimbabwe's war of independence in the one nine hundred seventy s. in the eighty's he became a feared spine master during his years of civil conflict he was longing to just make up a successor but he fell out with his aging mentor when it became clear mcgarvey wanted to install his wife grace as president instead. despite the obvious support not everyone's convinced that things will be so different. but what can we expect from them you know i'm really asking myself what we can to get. what. we expect to be delivered on the new dispensation that's certainly a lot to do weighs rural economy has been wracked by robert mugabe's decades long drive to confiscate white owned farms business leaders hope can use his

international connections to revitalize activity. the crocodile is promising zimbabwe and the new era of democracy hopes may be high but there are also doubts about what lies ahead. all right hopes and let's get some information now from melanie she's a research associate at the german institute for international and security affairs you've been watching zimbabwe and the developments there really closely my god was taking office and he's riding this wave of hope how much time does he have though to actually put his money where his mouth is when i think he has to react quickly i mean as we saw many. where we believe that the mugabe era is finally over but they're also aware that changes won't happen overnight. i think. but i think one knows that he has to react first of all he has to gain support from his own party at the party convention in december and then there's election and election

which he said today will be coming up next year or so and then he has to be reelected by december up in population and to gain votes he has to deliver thing really has to deliver on here is jobs is about was economy is completely in tatters on a scale that's almost hard to comprehend if you're living in western europe what is his plan to fix the economy i mean in his speech today he said he would open the country for foreign direct investment. he also talked about the extra effort culture of sector which will be crucial. as a resource which country. they have a high potential of development of the mining sector at the same time that is the risky sector human rights violations for example and also i think they have to make sure that it's an inclusive growth and the population benefits not only a small to get in and then there's the issue of corruption right i mean he's very big promises to fix that but this is someone from the ruling party and the

political establishment you think he can deliver well it will be difficult i mean a corrupt system everyone is affected and even if you have a committed president and it is just if it could for him to make changes he has to find allies in the system yes to make a plan and expose corruption first and develop concrete step and steps and this will take time and take time you mentioned earlier there is promising democratic elections next year and there's nothing that political analysts like yourself are watching very closely to see all these elections actually going to happen and are they going to be free and fair what's your bet looking at things right now i mean you made it very clear today that elections are going to happen next year and it's his plan and i was a little bit surprised that he openly expressed it. because he could have said no you know it will take a little longer we first have to make a plan and so on but he addressed it that it was good to oppositions that yesterday that they are cautiously optimistic. do you with things differently than mugabe did

i think we have to watch the next weeks already i mean there are a lot of questions regarding democracy were critical journalists be able to do their work what about social movements on the streets i mean can they march without feel without repression if this happens i mean why not and also the international community is watching so if you want to attract foreign direct investments and also gain support for. other governments he clearly has to open the country in a democratic way and i hope he knows that it would be very important for us about preamp population a lot is at stake right now at this moment in zimbabwe it's exciting to watch melanie miller a research associate thanks for being with us on the news or daniel over at our business desk has more now on the economic challenges that are facing the. much yes barbara stock market is starting to recover from the

chaos of the past days and zimbabweans are now looking to anderson to fulfill his promises almost all of the population is out of work and he has promised jobs jobs jobs saying he'll place an emphasis on agriculture and foreign direct investment the past to recovery will be long because the country has fallen far. selling tomatoes and onions because that's the only way to scrape up enough money to get by but those days finally over right collette marie moez a trained engineer and feels cheated out of his future he used to own his own company but the economic crisis in zimbabwe threw business into a tailspin now he sells shoes. had to do this you know order to supplement my income you know business hasn't been good. for the companies. in the biz basically trying to put food on the table for my family.

and many now hope that with mugabe gone the country will finally be able to reach its full potential. moving on believe it or not many retailers make a massive forty percent of their year leigh sales in the months leading up to christmas and in the us it all. kicks off with black friday which is today in new york city macy's started its discount a day early as a flood of shoppers rushed into the department store on thursday night in many places people camped out all night in front of department stores to be the first to be let in. and the quarter is on the wall street for us can serve you got your black friday shopping done. well i haven't even thought about what to get my friends and family here but overall it looks like of the season has started on a high note for the usual retail industry and expectations are that on average

first time ever more americans will do their holiday shopping online and not off line and that's also why we see the stock of amazon dot com reaching a new all time high here in the friday session but it looks like the pockets of americans are deep enough for both for online and offline shoppers so it really looks like a pretty strong season for the retail industry overall here in the u.s. ok well yes if you don't get your shopping done today you can do it at home by monday thank you very much reporting that for us. amazon workers in germany have staged a strike to demand better wages walkouts took place at six warehouses across the country their campaign was organized to coincide with black friday german trade union valley says amazon employee employees receive lower wages than workers in comparable jobs three town giants insist the strike won't affect delivery.
