latest attempt to calm the country's turbulent political situation that's been stood by a president because you're looking at live pictures the studio has been mobbed by allegations off corruption let's take it all straight to south africa where the a.n.c. is making a statement in johannesburg. and i'm just that. evolution to be teaching you to be a. concert pianist not to think it will be to be plentiful and to be noticed it's what you. feel watching live pictures coming to you from johannesburg at the in seat me take let's take a listen just the ones being the band. i mean everything to give your opinion since it was for. public release. all of us think. this is the statement of the of these medical personnel for the role of pressure to

do what they must whether they're going to do. it on the trunkful for the water for georgia for informing. their meeting was called reflect on their current situation . as it pertains to get position of the place you go and. get groups on. the n.b.c. course as well for shows you have been taught it to be and it is it is a good book from officials for very good measure of things and zuma. and disengagement of being informed by the commitment to because first. they didn't trust the folder. and the interest of the you see. the determination to enter this military order must be. the first to go very easy to settle up as i said last week . we had fruitful the call for your string gauge members but then as it was removed then we're fed up with going to process for. it is noted that one of the oafish of

the gift president of i could in principle. had put of course time for the insects to neutral three to six months. to live up to the shifting but it's going to last. there must not exist your formation mode of thought it was going through. a period of onset through the two sides as a result of the unders all bets are off on seizure. this on said to genocide to would erode any new poll. and confidence amongst offered this is the fifty fourth national conference of the year. and therefore the national executive told me to do so they're going to believe this intuition requires us to a three stage and see in the mode of history our conduct was very talkative a sort of unity interview of. the whole. we are there for the time then to restore

the integrity of the public is that you shouldn't voted to go to stub it to and they put money going to trouble. and some of them have ties we'll continue with this opportunistic manu vote by the open there should be parliament including motions of no confidence in the president calls for the dissolution or for parliament and that's body. and as opposed to this move by has at all times been informed by the interest of all this author john people. and says that they're full of the need to handle this mid over dignity. the national executive will need to do a lot as i did send a delegation. to brief president circle to zuma about. this issue. and deferred but we put initial shock to the timeframe just sort of dismissed as he did his oath. for the. this is the bed from the digit of the

president. was once mobility it is time is too short. and therefore. he needs redundancy decided as follows. one. protocol is deployed completed with someone you know quite as we were twelve tools. who are trying one true to run one. of the a.n.c. procedure should. i call the edison that will fit in to requote. he's deployed. they should be continuing and we have it will sort out they should be quite cheery intellection between officials of the incident and president jacob zuma. and that decision about a new city. required is the billions was.

only taken up that exhaustive discussion. had to decisions like that is informed by we've been they've said to them to to get people to fight off a guy at the time when the economy and social challenges facing there come to be quite a gent and the result of this was by all sections social site. description got that site up or just united out on the possible growth job creation and economy transformation. and business issues would be communicated publicly as we have going not and through our corporate forums for almost five plus of the see over the weekend. session us and i live very if you're going to members we work throughout the country. to brief and inform all us for ourselves about good decisions were taken. and all necessary but i meant other processes but i was from his decision to divorce or not is. across from to load. all of parliament over cocos.

about this issue sure. that we're getting there was. cooperation between the holocaust was the gentle world and all of all the only thing is that we couldn't go for the short to be locked in terms of what. i want to thank you. for the fence a secretary general here we are going to take and we will listen to the secretary general of the and see coming a speak coming live from johannesburg in south africa listening to his statement it was our correspondent christine where she joins me now in the studio welcome kristie from what i could make out of this what the secretary general said that jacob zuma has in principle agreed to resign but not just yet exactly and as we were reporting this morning on data we heard about the three month period that the president had also for his mushroom effectively saying that's something that we

could not give him as the party just listening to the amount of times that he talked of the fact that this urgency to this matter that the country is essentially waiting for the a.n.c. to make the right move and get the economy growing again so that is time that the a.n.c. unfortunately cannot give president jacob zuma he has not said in his statement just how long the party has given a prison jacob zuma of course we've been reporting that there was a forty eight hour deadline i suspect that in the q. and a that followed that statement a journalist will be pressing the secretary general exactly how long will they be giving the president before they take the next step essentially and of course the sekret general underscored the period of uncertainty in exile which was really on south africa and the political developments there he also talked about taking a decision which was in the interests of the nation but also in the interests of the a.n.c. exactly i mean there is an election coming up nick. in april and the a.n.c.

has deliberately not began its campaigning because of the fact that there is this this in effect in the room so to say jacob zuma until such time until they can resolve this transition leadership transition or power transfer matter everything is in limbo essentially apostle once to get into into the state house he wants to start fixing things up essentially he wants to start bringing jobs back into the economy he wants to start repairing the relationship between business in south africa and the government we know that the private sector for example is sitting on billions that they refused to invest in the economy because they say they cannot trust the south african government that's been hit by jacob zuma so there are a lot of pressing issues and i'm surprised that this process started on time i know that instead of attending many briefings and it just tells you that they know that this was not just about signalling to south africans but also signaling to markets and investors abroad to say we are taking control of the situation because that was the criticism the party was now facing resolve this matter quickly the rand is

pretty much been taken hit every single day that this hasn't been a conclusion and so the urgency and we really sense that you can see that they realize that they are racing against time but christine were you surprised by the fact that there was no clear timeframe given despite all the conversations they've been having the secretary general spoke about constructive and food for discussions with jacob zuma last week but there's still no concrete kind of timeframe as to when he will step down essentially that and we understand that prison jacob zuma is insisting on on leaving in some kind of a dignified way and he says why will you not allow me the opportunity to attend you know two more summits as as as the state president think of why are you in such a hurry to get me out of here and disgrace me in that way he at least once has to be on his terms in some way it is the party recoiling but i get to take the final decision as to when i will resign unfortunately the party is dealing with a scenario where the the time the clock or are the is is taking. they just don't

have the time i mean the opposition is already being opportunistic about all of this and rightfully so they've tabled motions of no confidence in parliament all of that just damages brand a.n.c. in the build up towards that election and also voters are getting frustrated in south africa south africans are saying to to. fix this are you a leader get control of the situation so that we know that you are definitely somebody who we can put our faith in come two thousand and nineteen when the country has to go to a vote so what do you see happening next because also in this state when they talked about dealing with matters with dignity yes yes of course that is a big thing and as i alluded to in in one of my earlier on says i can imagine that journalists are now pressing secretary general on when is the president going to step down and i think the fact that that was omitted from his statement is very very telling i think that when he hinted at that ongoing he said the interaction between an e.c. officials and the president i think that's still something they need to figure out but they needed to come out today and say something largely because of course on

sunday in addressing the nations that i know you want this matter to be resolved quickly and he said and he hinted at the fact that monday would be a solution so there had been a lot of pressure on the a.n.c. to deliver some kind of an outcome and i think today they've had to come out and say something they might not necessarily have agreed with jacob zuma on when exactly he will resign but they've come forward and they've said we've managed to clear that hurdle it's now a matter of when he goes and i can see that persuading him to leave sooner rather than later is what's taking place behind the scenes as we speak so this is still a fluid situation with the next few days and weeks are going to be very interesting christine milne really like you very much for sharing your insights with us. ok let's now move to ukraine where opposition leader mikhail saakashvili is calling on the specially germany to support his anti-corruption campaign against the government in kiev and this was really was detained by heavily armed men in kiev and deported to poland ukraine says he's been staying in the country illegally

saakashvili has described the move as a kidnapping. dozens of mikail sacristy really supporters braced the cold kiev night to protest his deportation they're backing his call for president pershing go to resign accusing him of corruption the ukrainian government says that this really is trying to stage a russian sponsored to satisfy his attorney has called kiev's actions outrageous was a time when it's a kidnapping and not the detention because the detention would be based on either a court decision or other documents and dispose of the case with this surveillance footage reportedly shows the moment border police arrest if that is really for deportation saying he was an illegal resident in ukraine. zacchaeus really had been a friend of paros shango arriving in ukraine as his advisor in two thousand and fourteen he renounced his georgian citizenship to become a ukrainian national and governor of the odessa region but the friendship turned

sour sacrificially started criticizing poroshenko his government and launched a nationwide anti corruption movement he was stripped of his ukrainian citizenship while abroad but in a public attempt to reclaim it he forced his way back across the ukrainian border in september flanked by his supporters. just last week the ukrainian court rejected his appeal to be given special protection against a possible extradition. and in his native georgia he's wanted for a legit abuse of office in january a court there sentenced him in absentia to three years in prison. now in poland he's vowing to fight on. with i love poland but my fight you see in ukraine in georgia and. i'll fight to the end and what part of that is you really says he remains confident and has soon give a statement on his deportation. he was in need of good

news coming up ahead it's the big reveal as former u.s. president barack obama takes his place in washington's national portrait gallery find out why his canvas is making history. but first want to go jewelry for business news and south korea's business is facing another scandal yes yet another one agreed to the chairman of south korea's lossie group has been sentenced to two and a have used in prison a court in seoul jailed shinbone been for bribery and a wide ranging corruption scandal that brought down the country's president the verdict comes at a time when whole lot of which is south korea's fifth largest conglomerate under sponsor of the current winter olympics and stepped up marketing in a bid to promote its brand and boost sales shin's arrest creates a leadership vacuum at the retail giant which struggles to compensate for mounting losses at its china operations. but here in germany today is a very special day it's the last day of carnival also in france at the stock

exchange where my colleague is standing by for us only i can see that you're not dressed up so just comical play a role there at all. left my customer at home with your your world moniker but there are people who made the effort as contract killer or as burlesque girls and they're right in the spirit of things it used to be i can see that more in past years when we couldn't have talked at this time without having music in the background and maybe the odd spontaneous procession of a chain of people throughout the room over the glass of beer or sparkling wine in their hands but the business has become a bit more sober over the years cheers than it is here why aren't we here and we we we did see somebody sipping a glass of sparkling wine i believe it was there i know of course so obviously business is going well we certainly know that the car industry is a big money spinner certainly here in germany. and it certainly is for its c.e.o.

david satcher. that's right he can afford champagne he doesn't need to turn to german sparkling wine eight point six million euros is his compensation for two thousand and seventeen that's in the business report that the company put out and that's one million euros more than the year before so he got a raise of one million euros and i think what's even more important for shareholders to know and also for the public to know that such as a huge pension package waiting for him when he retires at sixty four now his contract ends at the end of next year twenty nineteen and that package is valued at the moment over forty two million euros that's the money the company has set aside for dean to churches retirement after he turns sixty five ok but i believe that he could be still a very very busy man i mean he will play a role today to to use a supervisory board meeting. that's right the euro general meeting that's going on

a tuesday and when that concludes. there will likely be have become elected to the supervisory board and the first supervisory board meeting then it will be decided that he will succeed the president chairman of the supervisory board and that will take effect in october and it's very controversial whether a sitting c.e.o. of dime learn he still has over a year to go that actually has the time needed most supervisory board chairs need one or two days at the headquarters of their company to do this alongside his duties of time work. in frankfurt to enjoy the last day of qana well if you can thank you for now. thank you i will. first they moved to the retail network on the i and now they bring networking into the retail sector china's internet companies are working on a fully digitalized shopping experience supermarkets without any stuff.

this in conspicuous structure is actually a mini market. located in a commercial district outside beijing it's fully automatic there's no staff. it's a market of the future. here customers use an app to access the store locate products and pay for them so much eventually. there are five security cameras watching the store if a customer shoplifting or tries to leave without paying the customer service center reminds them to pay. the store contains typical many market items snacks drinks and hygiene products customers come from nearby offices during their lunch break. each item is priced electronically purchases are completed with the payment app. i like shopping this way with no one watching

when you find what you need then pay and go oh. bingo box in beijing is just one of several start ups developing on staff markets. it operates some two hundred stores like this one they're all running smoothly. told our theft rates are even lower than traditional supermarkets. the loss rate is less than point one percent. j.d. one of china's largest online retailers also runs supermarkets without employees they have a store in the company's offices that uses biometrics once you've registered on the app it's all automatic. customers do their shopping and as they leave the facial recognition technology identifies them and deduct the payment from their account. we're still in the test phase so we can't provide exact figures yet or we're fairly

certain that a market like this is cheaper to operate than normal supermarkets. there were in that hotel do you. know where are people as enthusiastic about digital shopping us here in china. payment apps and online delivery services are an integral part of their lives. people here accept and tolerate that the stores keep all their purchased data. to the lady i'm sure this is the wave of tomorrow she will get to have convenience we have to share our personal data i think it's acceptable you should just. digitalisation does have its limitations however people are still needed to keep products on the shelves orderly. well from digital to analog now hands on the thank you very much fun ika and that is something all us presidents have in common

that's right they all find their way into the national portrait gallery in washington george washington abraham lincoln and john f. kennedy among those displayed on the walls of the museum if you look at all the portraits of all the presidents there is one glaring fact that stands out there all white men well not any more all barack obama is the first african american to have his poor traits in the galleries hall of presidents. this image of the former first lady michelle obama will be on display by a couple of the first occupants of the white house to have their official portraits painted by black artists barack obama's portrait iskander wiley is renowned for painting people of color in the style of the old masters he didn't follow all of obama's suggestions i tried to negotiate was greater. artistic integrity would not allow him to do what i asked. smaller ears.

struck out on matters well. the artist says he was deeply moved by the experience of painting the former president this is our ability to say i matter i was here. the ability to be the first african-american enter to paint the first african-american president of the united states is absolutely overwhelming of the former first lady michelle obama was painted by the black artist amy sheryl to michelle declared herself both honored and humbled. i'm also thinking about all the young people particularly girls and girls of color who in years ahead will come to this place and they will look up and they will see an image of someone who looks like them hanging on the wall of this great american institution.

the presidential portrait as a rite of passage for former u.s. leaders the images of the obama's have already attracted more attention than most. meanwhile attracting attention at the winter olympics today in south korea a seventeen year old korean american jackie from media the sports desk is to tell us more about chloe kim and other olympic action welcome. about chloe kim she is a snowboarding sensation she won. the gold in the halfpipe for the united states and she's the youngest female ever to win a medal in snowboarding and in her last run she nearly got a perfect score she's just i mean just look at her she has an exceptional vertical lift and the beauty about her tricks is that she makes it look so easy just the elegant she can land so softly and the rest of the competition was actually playing

catch up to her nobody even came close to her and she ended up winning by ten points to understand how great that margin was between her and the silver medalist it's think of football soccer that's winning against your opponent by ten goals and retire and what made this so sweet at the end is that she dedicated that gold medal to her grandmother who is of course a korean a korea girl voted for her another gold medal for canada you must be pleased to go had added canada as a third straight gold in the moguls event and but this one is really special and retired because kingsbury he's twenty five years old and he's achieved so much he's won everything there isn't more goes he's considered to be the most successful mogul skier of all time except one thing that's been missing from his trophy cabinet didn't pick gold so after when he won this event he told reporters that he was super super nervous because the pressure was really starting to get to him i

mean just amazing look at that look at that this picture. here is the student see how he's overcome with emotion absolutely so what you love the winter actually from the olympics thank you very much a little hotel king of course we'll hear more from you during the next shows thank you very much for coming in. you're watching the news that more news coming up for you in half an hour.
