first democratic elections in one thousand nine hundred four. powerchair the people south africa's president jacob zuma trying to conjure up some of the former spirit of his party the african national congress led the fight against apartheid demanding justice and equality for rule to some it almost sounds like mockery president zuma faces dozens of allegations of corruption blackmail fraud and money laundering for years he has used his presidential immunity to remain in power. they even made at this party gathering seemed upbeat divisions run deep and zuma himself acknowledged. at a crossroads. why. did you find corporate greed. as posing a serious threat to the a.n.c.

. we all sort of need to look at. them exist we beam in our organization. observers say the party is in danger of splitting into into camps headed by the two main candidates looking to succeed zuma as party leader. cyril ramaphosa zoomers current deputy and one of south africa's richest men is battling . zuma the president's ex-wife rahm opposer is seen as someone who could revive the party and its fortunes he has repeatedly spoken out against corruption in the country he also pledges to bring south africa's flagging economy back on track. domini zuma was for many years head of the african union if she's elected her ex-husband jacob zuma might enjoy continuing immunity from prosecution observer says zuma might stand down early and not wait until the next

elections due in two thousand and nineteen if his ex-wife does take over the party helm many in south africa would like to seize room ago people what they are looking at looking at is him as a sis look at newton at as a liar and all those names that he has been painted with. it's like the people that are supposed to be protecting the company country don't care at all so it's about time they did step down it's been long. the bill is expected to announce its new leader on sunday didn't receive a little. well in studio with me is dr who was a correspondent for us in south africa for many years thank you for joining us in studio so an see a party that's plagued with scandal and corruption is this conference sort of the last kicks of a dying horse. not really the a.n.c. is going to stay there and it's probably also going to be elected again in the next elections in twenty nineteen but one has to really say it's lost its importance

its credibility in the last twenty three years there is corruption in the a.n.c. particularly in the provinces and cases in brazil and atol posts are being brought . politically motivated murders we've seen thirty of them this year alone. that's alone in the a.n.c. and then the president himself he's faced with hundreds of corruption charges fraud extortion and money laundering so all this together has led to the party losing vote to support and that has meant that the party has lost all the major cities in south africa so it's the opposition party the main opposition party the democratic alliance running the major cities now so obviously the hopes are now on the two main candidates. and fiddled around a pause there do they have

a chance to actually change the party well the party is deeply divided and one has to also see that both candidates are former freedom fighters the part of the a.n.c. establishment so one cannot expect a massive dress tick change or turn around but they're very different so. she was the chair of the african union commission she was also a minister in south africa for many years so she's got political experience she is a leftist for instance she wants. reforms without compensations taking land from white farmers and she's also zoomers ex-wives so she's got his support. because he expects her to grant him immunity if she becomes his successor and then there's a post to use an economist mining magnate is one of the richest men in the country

. he is the economist hope at the moment and he was also the one that mandela want to succeed him didn't work at the time maybe it does this time if he'd be the one to bring about change and turn it around in south africa remains to be seen but he's definitely the bigger chance and new zuma ok well thank you very much for that analysis we obviously will be waiting to see what happens in south africa in the coming year. and now time to look at some of the other stories making news around the world clashes have erupted between police and palestinian demonstrators in the west bank the violence followed the funeral of a disabled man killed by israeli forces at a rally tensions have been running high in the region after u.s. president donald trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital. opposition supporters in honduras have taken to the streets to protest the country's disputed presidential election now they're demanding

in saudi arabia. is a kickboxer she gives private lessons to the women in the city of jeddah. women are free from the constraints of conservative society all of them trained here free. everything is doable in 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 up. from the outside the only indication that this is a special place of a women arriving for training not many vo know about 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 her self-confidence and help them assert themselves among male bosses and family members each participant gives a presentation and then receives feedback. perhaps. it can and that it had once been for her 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 the 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.

i'm. sad for her 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 or her self going from some of that conscious to someone like standing up a little bit taller you know walking out of the space a little bit you know happier if you see it you see it it's insane how that can happen it can happen in an hour. you know when she leaves her gym she doesn't wear a black one value instead. design. well there's been some big drama in the bundesliga today and here the match day seventeen results so far document one this second game in a row and a new coach pete to still get a beating in european rivals hoffenheim two one bottom side can only manage their
