certain to win the elections next year so why's that. well voters on the ground tell us that they have no reasonable at the paci that they could vote will so it does look like the ac we're in coalition or not will retain at least a great deal of power throughout south africa but this extraordinary speech by president jacob zuma showing us that he realizes just how much trouble this was a very angry figure on that saying she was talking about how the media had turned against south africa in a certain trait called ox members with tears in his own party alliance partners the judiciary hold remove people who he says is to begin the a c. so now for the first time we're getting the sense that president jacob zuma realizes that his party is very trouble and that it's becoming unified a good time for between nineteen lakesha it's my theory a very tough job well let's consider the two main pounded it now to romney's human

and run offense that could either of them churning bring about change within the party. both of them have promised to reunite the party both of them have promised change syrup was a sketch in a speech largely focused on change in the sense of doing away with corruption or new will of the party making sure that this idea of the a.n.c. is corrupt party is put to be because on attorneys zuma singing the song of which equals a radical economic transformation so she has promised to change the economy full debate to the she for black people in south africa but given the split between them in the party and the delegates he need to be slow to write in the middle it seems that there are big portions of the ng see that doesn't believe that one will either of them are telling the truth why didn't jacob changing that put his hat in the right. and there was some talk about jacob zuma taking a salute as present of the a c.

however it will be slow to the kite about changing the constitution so the line can be the search of precepts of that country of science again that was shut down very quickly it was made very clear within the sea that no one will allow such changes to the constitution and they see decided that the crew have to see how the ideology remains but the presence of the arch it must feel present to the country and must take its you must so must come to lived predict events in jana's the thanks for that. in india and again he has taken over as the leader of the main opposition congress party the forty seven year old becomes the sixth member of the country's marry again to political family to head the party gandy faces the tough task of resurrecting a party is struggling to make a comeback from this was ever election showing in twenty forty well earlier i spoke to the editor of the course india website stevy article show in india and i asked

him what the main challenge would now be for al-ghamdi. the main challenge would be reviving the electoral and fortunes of the congress party after the doubling of the twenty forty general elections which was the party's worth of a performance where they want only forty two or three of the bodies also lost a string of provincial elections for a whole gandhi and a host or were hardly organization that's something he claims he's been doing for some time now but specifically he needs to reach a good leadership team we need to infuse new life into the rank and file he needs to sort of reexamined craft the party of electoral strategy and essentially rebuild the congress party. into a force to be reckoned with. now for decades saudi arabia has had some of the walls tightest restrictions on women its new crown prince has been shaking up the kingdom and acting near reforms including more rights for women and for the first time women that are allowed to drive now many power is still remain and we have this report now about a kick boxer who is teaching saudi women one way to flex their newfound muscle.

an unusual sight in saudi arabia. is a kickboxer she gives private lessons of the women in the city of jeddah. in her gym women are free from the constraints of conservative society all of them trained here fail free. everything is. behind closed doors. and this is definitely behind closed doors i mean i have you know i'm on the street but my glasses fogged out from the outside the only indication that this is a special place of a women arriving for training not many though know about her studio the women who come here affluent and aspiration know they're part of a select group in saudi society. these women are not part of it this is

a course for women from less privileged backgrounds organized by applying it to charity students and young professionals all of them veiled like most women in saudi arabia the course is designed to boost their self-confidence and help them assert themselves among male bosses and family members each participant gives a presentation and then receives feedback. perhaps. if the candidate that had once been heard to talk well nothing can stop you from expressing yourself not even avail what it. government reforms are also slowly beginning to improve conditions for women in saudi arabia a new economic reform plan called vision twenty thirty aims to get more women into work since all prices tom would vote government can't afford to exclude half of the population from the labor market women cannot be seen working in retail or in engineering disapproval of years ago this would have been unthinkable.

but my. dad. hardly kick boxing isn't just a sport she sees it as a way for women to break the chains of patriarchal society. you see her her self going from some of those areas of conscious to someone who's like standing up a little bit taller you know walking out of the space a little bit you know happier you see it you see it it's insane how that can happen it can happen in our work. has to put on a veil when she leaves her gym she doesn't wear a black one value instead of shops for more colorful design. as going back to our top story now the return of the far right in the austrian government and with me now is rosie waits from austria's public broadcaster r s rosie we're talking about the foreign ministry the defense ministry these

a big schools for the freedom party what can we expect them to do with these ministries that's right they'll also be in control of the interior ministry another key ministry for a junior coalition partner this means the freedom party will control austria security apparatus and they have promised to secure austria's borders to stop illegal immigration until the e.u. secure as its borders that is so i mean we will have to wait and see what the do in the foreign some defense in the foreign and defense ministries and they've had to present their plans to the green party president i mean what do you think that he will make of their plans will there be a new op as well that he has no there won't be he's his office has already said that the government will be sworn in on monday morning so he's approved the list of ministers and presumably the broad program of the government as well. i think he

he's going to keep an eye on what happens obviously and if he doesn't if he's doesn't approve of certain things i'm sure he will speak up. the far right freedom party has been in coalition governments in austria before so this is not the first time but with regards to the european union can we expect any reaction that we think that the reaction is going to be muted we don't expect there will be sanctions us there were when the freedom party was last in government and that's really due to the rise of other far right parties and anti establishment parties across europe for example the f.t. getting into parliament in germany and the the front national making france's presidential runoff a freedom party though as a euro skeptic party i mean do we know if there would be any plans later for asking the austrian people whether they'd like to remain part of the european union well

sébastien could today rule that out and heinz christians drakkar the leader of the freedom party was with him at the press conference and also confirmed that the new government will be pro european although it's going to seek increased devolution of power from brussels so could that the e.u. should focus on few a task such as securing its borders and hand more powers back to member states or right rosie rights ok just one more question we have time for now let's just remind our viewers about how these parties came to power what were the flashpoint issues in this election. the major issue was the refugee crisis back in two thousand and fifteen austria saw a massive influx of refugees and migrants ninety thousand in a country of eight million so it did have a big impact on voter opinion particularly in rural areas and although there

haven't been any terrorist attacks in austria i think the attacks in other european countries also had an effect on voters and straka and curt's both say they want to make fighting radical islam a priority and they want to ensure greater security in austria including tackling illegal immigration raising rates in vienna thanks very much indeed you're watching the w. news live from more news at top of the hour that point saying that. losing your home. because of persecution. the city. starting from scratch in an unfamiliar country. five people who found a new home you know.
