joined now in the studio by south african journalist sara fun taint thanks so much for joining us this evening it's a pleasure to be here given what have you think this must feel because it has gone on for quite a number of hours is this what you were expecting and what must be happening right now i think we would all like to be in that meeting and just before i came to sit down here it was reported to the first president several roma causa has lifted meeting with the secretary general of the a.n.c. a smoke issue but the rest of the people are still way so this a lot of speculation with him may have gone too. and it's like it's for collation at this stage but i think in his speech yesterday on the grand parade in cape town from a cause and made it very clear that basically he's drawn no end in this and that's it and president zuma has to go. by without even means and i think that

is the person that is taking place no it's better for the a.n.c. to recall him because then they sort of keep their high growth and if they go to parliament and have an event of no confidence it's also a vote of no confidence in their party but there have been so many lines in the sand that have been drawn when it comes to president jacob zuma they have there have been so many scandals is something different this time around do you think that we're actually going to see him go. i think he is we've already seen him he's basically a lame duck president although the statements coming out of the presidency are all signed by several roma cause he has sort of the state electricity is for change the boot it was his decision so he's already taking these decisions that in name they still are president zuma and the fact that he's no not the head of the a.n.c. in moore that makes a big difference at this what has changed in the last six weeks. and it never

crosses a very good negotiator he knows we wants to bet president zuma is also a tough negotiator is you have two very tough negotiators using very different methods sitting there for six days said and then which other country people sit for six days to newgate shape the exit of a president so it is maybe very democratic can start how is this being seen as by south african voters themselves i mean are they seeing this mostly as an internal party matter within the a.n.c. or is this really a battle for the soul of the country i think it's a battle for the soul of the country in the battle for the so of the party. i think people. in resume are still has supporters in certain areas in the rural areas but i think. people in net we've seen for the last couple of years they want him

gone he is snotty they present in this too much corruption. people want to move on so that it's already that moment we think we can start rebuilding the country but he's still the president and so. by the end of the week. from what from oppose us atheists to the solution will have to be found because the heat is also on from the opposition parties they want to bring in a motion of no confidence they want to suit a few near her. election and of course the a.n.c. is not ready for any sniff election they don't want to see that so they have to sort of funa get control back and make sure they get rid of president zuma very quickly what does a south africa after his in la look like because i mean there's there's quite a lot of problems on the table to tackle in just a few include the taking kaname power shortages water shortages things of that nature. and corruption corruption is the biggest overriding issue in south africa

and in zuma and zuma it's just it's an every part of friends of society so in a huge problems that the cause gone are still the important posts and they're not going to be gone in one day or two days so a couple of months it's going to be. a long june or want to thank you so much south african journalist on the sarah fontaine we appreciate it thank you so much sir. let's get a quick check now and smaller ears but to no avail. a train crash in the central austrian town of nicholas storefronts killed one person and injured more than twenty others police say that one train hit the side of the other news station the cause is being investigated. people held a vigil in moscow to remember the seventy one people killed in a plane crash near the russian capital on sunday investigators have recovered the flight data recorder from the wreckage it may offer clues as to why the plane came

down after just appearing from radar screens about four minutes into flight. the former president of georgia and ukrainian protest leader mikhail saakashvili has been deported from ukraine to poland after accusing the country's president of corruption kiev said that saakashvili citizenship had been revoked and that he no longer had the right to stay in ukraine saakashvili described the deportation as an abduction and vowed to quote fight to the. sudden interruption of the usually calm lunchtime at a georgian restaurant in kiev just start filming the scene with their phones as a number of messages men and camouflage enter and detain one of the guests his name because. the former president of georgia was that there were no it's a kidnapping and not a detention because detention should be based on either a court decision or some other proceeding document that was not the case. it looks like someone is trying to illegally send mikheil out of ukraine with you know my

heart that we were very well i really was indeed taken into custody and transported to the airport the ukrainian border guard service says he was illegally in the country. really moved to ukraine in two thousand and fourteen as an advisor to his student friend and the country's president petro poroshenko back then he traded his georgian citizenship for a ukrainian one but soon the two allies had a fall out and circus really started criticizing poroshenko government and launched a nationwide anti corruption campaign he lost his office and became a stateless person after his passport was rescinded last september he returned to kiev despite being far from welcoming. his deportation now comes as no surprise only last week a ukrainian court rejected his appeal to be given special protection against a possible extradition. really is now in poland the country from which he last

crossed the border into ukraine or sar agreed to take him because he is married to an e.u. citizen. and for more let's bring in correspondent nicholas connelly who is standing by with the latest from kiev so nicholas this sounds like a pretty mysterious case what's the latest that evening sara well he is now in warsaw he says this isn't the end of the road he says that his thoughts in ukraine and also in his own country georgia will go on the potent is not the his last destination but this definitely has been a pretty dramatic day here in kiev mid-afternoon we got the first reports of him his detention in a restaurant just a couple of meters behind us those people were not wearing any uniforms they were in camouflage they turned out to be agents of ukraine's border guard service and his supporters tried to stop this they rushed to airports to roads leading west and thought they could stop him being taken out the country as they did back in december but it turns out to be too late he was on

a private plane as it turned out heading to also where he is now what's likely to happen to him now that he's in poland. well as our report points out he's a difficult position he's a stateless person he's lost his georgian citizenship he had his ukrainian citizenship taken off him by present pershing ko last year that's why he was forced to push the border as it were to come through illegally with a big crowd of supporters last autumn he's obviously free to do politics there. at a distance it's obviously secondly we can position for him to be in that he was before equally there was also the option to table him sending him back to georgia where he faces three years in jail he was sentenced earlier this year you know absentia to jail term there so the ukrainian government of c. we have be cautious of risking such a big confrontation with seconds from these western allies the big test i think will be this sunday seconds freely had cooled nationwide protests on the

anniversary of the deaths on the mud on four years ago against bush and co calling for pushing because impeachment if he's able to bring people out on the street just by being out of the country that will really be the test of his ability to keep involved in ukrainian politics nicholas tell us a little bit more about his cause and about his supporters because we know that he is on this anti corruption campaign right now accusing ukrainian government petro poroshenko of corruption. is valid claims or is this a power grab on the part of saakashvili. this is very much been his line since he fell out with president poroshenko. he was brought to the country to reform one of ukraine's most important regions adesa he said that he wasn't being given the power in the freedoms to really make real change there this is definitely a consistent line of his obviously he is a very ambitious politician he's someone who probably isn't going to be happy with

being just a governor or a you know a middle ranking law even high a civil servant forever. his supporters the as they have come out for regularly although in droves to smaller numbers in recent months i think the important thing is not just people who support him directly but he could prove to be a christian point someone around to people who maybe aren't usually in favor of him but are against the government of pro petro poroshenko might come on rally around see him as a figure to unite around nicolas connelly with the latest from kiev thank you nicholas today of the united nations international day against the use of child soldiers armed groups for crew boys and girls in conflict zones and forced them to carry out brutal crimes there are an estimated two hundred fifty thousand child soldiers across the world mainly in africa and south sudan aid projects are trying to help former child soldiers reach we integrate into society have a look. david was once

a child soldier now that terrible time is behind him and he's working as a cop and making beds chazz and tables when he was still fighting he almost lost all hope for his security we're protecting his identity. there are so many bad things. in the sense of millions being killed. there's so much death and hunger and nothing else. has done for years according to the u.n. there were nineteen thousand child soldiers in the country some days ago groups released three hundred children not all were recruited by force some were driven by poverty to join many have come back traumatized. if you don't. aid projects like this carpentry workshop give former child

soldiers professional training and prospects for the future. it's worked for david his job has made him more positive about the future. change will take time people will continue to suffer but some day it will get better. but that will only happen once peace talks actually amount to something. you're up to date on news i'm sarah kelly in berlin and thanks so much for watching we hope to see you again to play . loads of live. play or links to news from africa and the world play or link to exceptional stories and discussion so from only was as easy as i want with say
