indonesia jerusalem is home to the third most important mosque in the islamic world i think as muslims we have to defend palestine what is the. turkey's president retch uptight ad one had a clear response he says he wants to upgrade turkey's diplomatic presence in east jerusalem to a full embassy in the palestinian territories where the struggle since jerusalem is currently under occupation we cannot go there and open our embassy but our consulate general is represented at ambassador level so we have to factor our complex this god willing the day is close when officially we will open our embassy there. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu again welcome trump's plan to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem he condemned egypt's introduction of a draft u.n. resolution that seeks to reverse the move. we're. i would like to express once again my special appreciation for the determination leadership of president

who will succeed south african president jacob zuma as head of his ruling african national congress party or thousands of delegates are to decide the answer to that question at a party congress in johannesburg deputy president cyril ramaphosa is facing off against as soon as ex-wife of course as one of. the we know is seen as likely to succeed jacob zuma as the country's president and there's no clear favorite. or correspondent thomaston so is following that and see conference for us from johannesburg thomas thank you for joining us so what's the atmosphere like as the delegates choose a replacement for jacob zuma. well if you talk about atmosphere in general i would say it's the typical a.n.c. party meeting with lots of singing and dancing delegates supporting their candidate

it's songs but colorful. underneath the strong song tensions and divisions within the a.n.c. . it's all about two factions in the party one faction supporting of the now president jacob zuma and his favorite candidate his ex-wife and then the other people within the party who want to have a change and how harsh that fight is being licked you can see always visible when discussions are possible bribery around election process evolved there was people being void about that maybe money was being paid by candidates to make it to delegates in their favor so how would that work i mean if someone would get money a bribe to vote in this way all the other person would need to truths that he or she did exactly like that and one. would be using your cell phone take a picture of your ballot paper and send that picture off serious those allegations

being taken by the party you can see by looking at the rules they were setting up in that room cell phones are not allowed within the election process are really that really i think that really tells the story well thomas said describing a pot to the controversy so what does this conference mean for the. well i think this party is deeply divided and what we're experiencing now is a fight within the party which is all about one person it's still about the now president shakeups zuma who is also president of the country this person is facing a long long list of allegations around fraud and corruption a cold already ruled that he was violating the constitution of the country by using takes money to run away to his private home the list of those allegations is that long it's even difficult to remember all of those cases so what we see is

a fight iran and its merits by the main candidates within this election that is one to one side opposed to who has been promising to fight corruption within the party and on the other hand jacob zuma ex-wife. awarded kind of avoided to talk about corruption in the party that's why many believe if she will be due to president of the party take up some of the not have to be he maybe won't be prosecuted for his offenses. with the latest from johannesburg in south africa thank you police in australia have arrested a man for allegedly acting as an economic agent for north korea now he's accused of attempting to broker a sales of missile technology and cold to that in indonesia and vietnam the naturalized australian citizen of korea descent is the first person to be charged under the country's weapons of mass destruction act. the police have called it
