this is d w news live from ballet and u.s. president donald trump responds to the florida school massacre. each person. killed with one. and. it went on to cite the suspect appeared to be mentally disturbed but made no mention of gun control also on the program and thank you all for this great of what you need to see that i've been given and i would try to work very hard not to

disappoint the people of south africa thank you very much. so what can south africa i'm the rest of the world expect from the country's new president several run opposing i'm. being called lay over not just think about an international film festival i guess often have to battle this event where then animated feature set in the future we'll bring you the latest from the belly dolly had reaction to the me two campaign. i'm from gail welcome to the program. we started the united states where president strom passed just spoken about yesterday's mass shooting in florida seventeen people were killed and many more injured when a nineteen year old gunman opened fire. at the high school where he used to be

a student has been named as nicholas cruz he was arrested and is now facing seventeen charges of premeditated murder is a little of what president trump out to say our entire nation with one heavy heart is praying for the victims and their families. to every parent teacher and child who is hurting so badly. we are here for you whatever you need whatever we can do to ease your pain let's get moved to washington correspondent carson phenomena. kasten. there is a suspect in custody what do we know. well we know that he is a nineteen year old former student of that school

a gun lover who liked to show off his fire and bragged to bollock killing and in the very disturbed a troubled boy some neighbors said his mother had died last year and he had lived with another family which allowed him to keep his guns in their homes there were also a few incidents where you apparently posted some troubling commons on social media and still he purchased that fire that he used in this message a military style assault rifle and a ar fifteen he purchased that legally because there was no criminal records that could have been have against him so we know that he had these problems still he had those firearms but after all it seems that nobody still expected that this would happen it came sort of out of the blue as it does so often these cases we're into the second month a v yeah by my reckoning this is the eighth u.s.

school shooting this year did the president's make any mention of gun control. no he didn't as you said the figures are different some people say it's the eighteenth school shooting that depends on whether you count those incidents where someone might have committed suicide on the school campus but yes this is a regular occurrence basically once a week there's a school shooting there are many more shootings all over the united states all the time we only report about the more spectacular tragic events really this is a major problem but the president didn't mention that at all he basically used all the right words if you like to comfort the victims and their families but he didn't say anything about what we need to do about this and this we have seen time and again the republicans saying this is not the time to talk about gun control they

talk about this being an issue of mental health some republicans are calling for gods and schools in the u.s. everywhere to prevent this from happening but they don't want to touch the issue of gun control and donald trump once again is no different here. phenomena in washington thank you south africa has a new president several ramaphosa his election comes a day after jacob zuma stepped down after his party and say ordered him to resign or face a parliamentary no confidence vote a short while ago mr m. posen was sworn in by chief justice. thank you. he was met with a standing ovation dancing in parliament in the country's legislative capital cape town. thank i.

country's new president went on to address the legislation. and many of you have spoken about unity in your spoken about poetry or tism you spoken largely about how we can all work together to improve the lives of our people that has a great deal of resonance with i believe in and what i intend to do. well the w. our correspondent christine mon dieu has been following the story of force welcome chris thanks so not even probably for hours has gone by and the country has a new president just bring us up to speed and with that the sequence of events all right so now that it is official i imagine sort of also is going over a lengthy speech right now because tomorrow he is going to deliver the much anticipated state off the nation address this is when he talks to the south african

public you also talks to to the world watching we understand that leaders from across the continent it is around the world will be listening into that speech he's made a lot of promises about some of the things that he's going to say in that speech and so there is eager anticipation as to exactly what he will say tomorrow ok so i die into the job and he gets to write the state of the nation speech who is cyril ramaphosa take a look. he's made it a whole month of his campaign rallies we could do this is the least that's. why people up here. they've been slow. also was. just this. summer because new president cyril ramaphosa had hoped that this would set him apart from his former boss jacob zuma but after nine years on to zoom in scandal

ridden reign as south africa's new leader he faces many challenges ahead with a political career spanning more than four decades from opposed it was a close ally of nelson mandela played a major role in the country's post apartheid democratic transition more than two decades have now passed since the end of the race this regime but inequalities remain firmly entrenched south africa is rich in resources but many lives without electricity all running water health care and schooling remains rudimentary eight out of ten nine year olds are classified as a literate unemployment levels of sky high more than two thirds of young people are jobless economic growth has been pretty much stagnant and to zuma run opposer will be hoping to cash in on foreign investment since seumas resignation sent the rand soaring high that could also help generate the needed jobs elected as soon as vice

president in two thousand and fourteen rahm opposed it was never a lapdog he's criticized in the past but will have to rebuild a lot of trust for a population that's fed up of seemingly endless stories of the a.n.c. this corruption so many young people this is a far more present issue than the party's post apartheid legacy but i want to go to plan if he manages his first most important task uniting his ruling party for the two thousand and nineteen elections his election as a.n.c. leader in december was labeled as a turning point for south africa and now he's also the country's new leader. christine singing and dancing and parliament everybody well lots of people very happy when should remember though that would pose only just begun his challenge it to become a.n.c. president so can he unite his fractured party and that is the big question it's

going to be a difficult balancing act to do that and i'll tell you why he pretty much has a mandate from the son that's in the public eye to tackle corruption the first test of that will be when he assembles his cabinet is he going to appoint zuma knowingness onto his cabinet in the party that could be seen as leaving the divisions but in the face of the public that is checking for action because a lot of zuma picks such as say people associated with corruption and so he is a very difficult balancing act in terms of managing expectations of the public sphere but also maintaining divisions within the party they also in the loyalists who say we now give you our backing surely you consciousness. and corruption is a big years and years it is a big one and that is one of the most immediate challenges that he has and he has alluded to that in he's address off to being elected officially in the parliament let's hear it from the man himself will be issues that have to do with corruption issues of how we can straighten out our state owned enterprises and how we do with

state kept its issues that are on our radar screen those are issues that we're going to be addressing and to morrow we will also have an opportunity to outline some of the steps that we are going to be taking. ok so that's the new president looking forward what happens to the old president jacob zuma while we wait to see just how the law will take its course we know from hearing from opposition parties from civil rights groups within the south african society they have made it clear that they will be pushed suing courts to have them go off to prison jacob zuma of course we have talked about a president whose time in office has really been clouded by corruption allegations we know that a lot of those charges are going to stick phil that he would have to see his day in court so he is looking at not a peaceful retirement certain say but a lot of court appointments potentially coming up and we can see that justice has

been taking place we know that people associated all those who have to be christmas that it's a sensation with the president a family that has close ties with the president to that has been accused of having access to state resources because of the affiliation to prison jacob zuma the law is already camping down on those people and we expect that in no time president jacob zuma solve will have to be on a host of charges president retires to spend more time with his lawyers christine thank you. first day of the bold and national film festival on d w's that david leavitt's is on the red carpet welcome david action is up it's opening night what's going on behind you. well this is what the belly nine is really all about this is where the mere mortals get to meet celebrities from all over the world and
