this is. from berlin tonight at least three people have died as protesters clashed with soldiers in zimbabwe two days after a national election the country still does not know who won the race for president security forces clashed with protesters who say that the zanu p.f. parliamentary victory was tainted by four on the country's opposition says that they will challenge the result we'll have the latest from the capital also coming up here in germany but the area has become the first state to open controversial new processing centers for asylum seekers

a fast track for refugees applications and a fast way to deport those who are rejected plus the robbery that's left swedish police red faced thieves steal priceless jewels from a cathedral near stockholm and making their way just across a nearby lake. it's good to have you with us police in zimbabwe say tonight that at least three people have died in the capital harare after clashes between protesters and soldiers the unrest follows the country's election which was held on monday and the announcement that the long ruling party won a majority in parliament the opposition has disputed the result and international election observers have called for the results of the presidential election to be

released as soon as possible to avoid more violence. soldiers firing live rounds and zimbabwe's capital. the army into the streets of harare mid afternoon reportedly at the request of the police. the country's justice minister said the military had been deployed to maintain peace and tranquility and accused opposition supporters of going on a rampage however protesters claim they didn't start the violence. it was going on . i just want to know if this is the demonstration that. the crackdown came after a day of protest in the capital people were taken to the streets to protest at the law and the release of the results of presidential polling. crowds gathered outside the offices of the country's electoral commission to demand the release and things quickly turned violent the electoral commission called for patience

verifying the vote was more complicated than expected the commission chairwoman said the unusually high number of candidates was causing delays in the verification process. but a spokesman for the opposition said the situation was unacceptable and suggested that something unusual was going on it is everyone citizens right to demand that the results are produced in reasonable time ok the fact that the results far right is central that it's just next door to zach had not been released by off by by midday today is inappropriate and suggests that something wrong is opening we've been here before. as tensions remain high in the country the international community is becoming increasingly concerned with governments calling for restraint on all sides. well for more tonight i'm joined by eddie cross he is a member of zimbabwe's opposition party the movement for democratic change and he is a former parliamentarian mr cross it's good to have you on the program tonight the

opposition your party is claiming that this long delay in releasing the presidential results is a sign of fraud has this election been rigged. the city being manipulated. whether it's been rigged in a traditional way isn't is a moot point i think it's been running very intelligent and and i think they're going to get away with it but as a consequence is a great deal of suspicion and cross and anger at the results that have either he said or from mr cross that's as quite a statement there they're going to get away with it so in other words the ruling zanny party with mr manning gone as president is going to get away with an unfair election result well they've done that five times in the last twenty years every election i've participated in this country since independence has been wreaked to some extent and it's become the norm and it

is the norm in many african states. we're struggling to get back to a democratic environment and it is just a struggle this is this is not something it's going to just happen because people are going to suffer in in terms of getting back to a democratic country and this is just another step in that direction we were struck today by how quickly the military was called out to deal with protests relating to the election i mean that is an extreme measure for any government to undertake soldiers firing shots at their own citizens is that for you proof that the president has no intention of going anywhere. no i don't think so and we had live ammunition used in the food riots in this country along a long time just just before in b.c.

was actually full and it in the army was used and it was much more severe than were received today they had machine gun emplacements on the streets of r r e but it is uncalled for use of the armed forces and the use of on emission was just simply actually reprehensible and i don't think that they could justify that toward and i'm very disappointed that in fact the president himself has not really made a statement expressing anger at what research done what the army has done and i would sincerely hope that the police will conduct major investigations after this issue has been calm down. very briefly mr cross i'm running up time i want to ask you what happens tomorrow if the presidential results are announced and mr manning on what is announced the victor what will happen in your country. it's impossible to predict g.'s the a is certainly not told up the election results for the

presidency are going to be announced tomorrow they were twenty three candidates that's why it's taken so long to get the result out i'm not only almost complete the sit innocent money guy who will be elected with a substantial majority. i think it could lead to further violence but i hope not i hope that i'm disappointed that nelson chamisa mind prison has not called for calm he's not cold for the country to an end and i membership two to remain disciplined and calm in the circumstances because any inflammatory statements right now will cause problems and i hope that's not going to happen tomorrow we're a christian country traditionally we were not a violent people and i would hope that zimbabweans will go back to normal tomorrow and we won't we will see the police and the army withdraw from the streets while i think many people around the world also share that wish for for

a peaceful end to this violence in your country mr any cross retired legislator from zimbabwe's party movement for democratic change mr cross we appreciate your time tonight thank you you thank. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in the north kivu province of the democratic republic of congo there has been an outbreak of the deadly disease ebo twenty six cases have been reported and of those twenty have died just a week ago an outbreak of ebola in another part of congo was declared over. blueprints for three d. guns will not be made available online in the united states at least for the time being that's after a u.s. judge blocked their publication in a last minute ruling the blueprints demonstrate how to make untraceable printed plastic guns the ruling reverses a decision by the trumpet ministration that would have permitted their release. of area has become the first german state to open controversial new processing centers

for refugees or authorities want to hold asylum seekers there while their applications a process which can take up to eighteen months they will deport anyone who's rejected critics say that this system will get a why new arrivals. for many refugees arriving in germany in future this is what home will look like this reception facility in a former u.s. army barracks in the bavarian city of bam bag is the model for the new refugee centers to be known as sentences the acronym stands for a rival decision and return the key idea various departments which look at asylum applications will be together in one place migration agency labor office well federal authority even the cools the claim is that will mean applications of more quickly as high as the us those with these centers the migration agency will in most cases be able to issue documents in three or three and

a half months when the people are to be granted refugee status rejected them. this new approach is the latest chapter in germany's effort to deal with migration since the increase in the numbers fleeing to europe and the government's decision in twenty fifteen to open the borders the challenge of making migration on this scale work has become clear in many cases it has taken too long for people to find out whether they have a chance of staying in germany and that in turn has held up any chance of them finding a job or integrating into society. the residents of the anchor facilities will be able to leave to go shopping or for other reasons despite that critics say they have tantamount to deportation centers. the plan is to open these facilities all across germany but in most parts of the country that will lead to a massive worsening of conditions for asylum seekers. currently holds around

fourteen hundred migrants if things go smoothly similar centers may be opened in other parts of germany are joining me for more now is your old canal thi is the founding chairman of the european stability initiative that's a think tank that has worked extensively on the influx of migrants to europe he was one of the architects of the european union's refugee deal with turkey mr good to have you on the program these holding centers they aim to bring the steps of the asylum procedure under one roof to speed it up is that practical. but i've seen many such sentence in other countries where they work the netherlands for example has a big aside i'm sent in the north of the country terrible but what makes it work is that procedures in reality only take a few weeks people don't state along and so the big question about these sentences the first one of which open in bavaria is they meant to accelerate which is a good thing cooperation of different institutions including the courts which in

turn germany takes a lot of time or will they become holding sentence for those who are rejected for the long term and that is not a good idea because that was in very oblique way attention if i if i hear you correctly i mean that means you have some doubt about whether or not they're working it sounds like and this is just a political tool used by the country's interior minister who of course zahle for he was from the very is that what we're talking about here is just a political to to to make his constituency happy and nor what he can be against accelerating inside of procedures least of all the people who want protection and get protection they have a decision to better but if these centers are presented as the solution to the problem of returning those who are rejected then it's a bluff because the real problem the returning people who have rejected for asylum is their relations with the countries of origin and not just read no it's really not france nor germany has solved this problem without cooperation by countries of

origin. return is impossible right and the sentence will not change that all right stand by we want to talk about many of the migrants that we are now seeing come into europe are coming via a new route they're using spain as a gateway to europe now they're travelling the short distance by book through the strait of gibraltar from morocco spanish coast guard rescued nearly a thousand migrants last weekend alone the refugees there choosing this route as other countries such as italy crackdown on iran. rescue teams have just pulled another twenty one people from the strait of gibraltar off southern spain they consider this a slow day compared to most but these twenty one arrivals present a problem for spain the maritime rescue service wants to take these migrants to the nearest port but the port refused permission a common occurrence forty. of them are. over the

course of the entire past year we've rescued sixteen thousand people but this year after just seven months the number has already climbed to twenty two thousand. or so. the ship carrying the rescued migrants docked at the nearby port of august the rest instead but the situation there is no better the migrants had been stuck on the ship for days now they're on land looking for shady places to rest. a few kilometers away jose antonio gomez is waiting for the daily food delivery more than six hundred rescued people were brought to this gym over the weekend. they called us on saturday and then the people came they were simply too many of them. local authorities are responsible for looking after those arriving the church has prepared food volunteers are helping out but people are getting

impatient. when we aren't eating well we don't have a proper place to sleep to aren't enough clothes and we can't call our families to reassure them that we're still alive. spanish authorities are overwhelmed after talking to migrants it's clear that the strait of gibraltar is gaining in popularity as a crossing point. i was going from ivory coast to libya but they told me that morocco would be a better idea. refugees want to go to say now before they chose libya or italy but that was just thirteen kilometers lie between africa and europe that spain southern most tip the country once again has become the gateway to europe for thousands of migrants. i missed you see we've got a new way for migrants to get into europe are we going to have to come up with a new dio the way we did with turkey i mean how does your deal with this new form

of migration. well it would be incredibly helpful if the european union would have or would not do the things it's been talking about for three years we need two things to solve a crisis like this the ability to quickly decide who of the people who arrive need protection in europe and who doesn't if it takes like in italy in recent years four years until a final decision is made it basically we don't need insight into something anybody arrives stace you need speed so we need speed and we need to organize this in the way the dutch have put it beside in six weeks including appeal but in spain or italy or molto and this requires a european effort so that's the first thing secondly once we have a decision and then a lot of the people who are now coming to spain who came to italy out from countries with out high recognition rates senegal southern nigeria ivory coast these are not countries where a lot of refugees come from if we would then decide quickly dead one in ten gets

refugee status the others don't and then we need agreements with those countries of origin they dined interest of those countries to work with us and that meet requires them to take back their citizens after a fixed date so it's a limited number if they do that less people will come and in return we should offer them legal migration quote us that want to be done in a relatively short amount of time but i'm sure we'll be talking about that again but i hope this chance is an opportunity to do it because spain once and needs a solution that is humane and works mr joe canal's director of the european stability initiative we appreciate your insights tonight thank you you thank. are you going to go over to helena now and she is that the leaders from the u.s. fed and i think we're talking about interest rates we sure are brant the u.s. federal reserve desiring to leave its key lending rate on hold for now now after its regular policy meeting the fed was upbeat about the economy citing strong

consumer spending and business investment a strong jobs market and inflation near its two percent target that probably puts the fed of course for a september rate hike off to its next meeting now fed chair german powell said at the start of the year that interest rates would continue to be raised in small order it steps they now stand in a range of one point seven five to two percent off a small hike in june president donald trump has warned against further hikes fearing it could slow economic growth. let's go straight over to our financial correspondent so fisherman skiis on wall street for us sophie trump seemingly intervening there in central bank policy is there any sense that the fed actually listened to him took his concerns on board. i wouldn't say so first of all monetary policy in anything concerning the fed is usually not anything

for the president to comment on the independency off the fed has been has high and last years and decades so it could be freed from the whims of politics now trumbull once again is breaking the rules and surveys show investors disapprove larry summers who last served as president obama's top economic adviser told c.n.n. money that nothing of this kind have happened in the past twenty five years one concern might be that the fed will now be reluctant to slow the pace of rate hikes even if it is thinking that this is the best thing to do right now it will look like they are responding to political pressure that is what summers said i think the fed is going to do what the fed has to do and the thing that they now raise didn't raise these rates is just a sign that they keep doing what they were planning to do anyway it doesn't imply that they actually listen listen to the president let's face it the trump the fed

rather has rather a lot on its plate right now the fed warning against steps towards a full blown trade war for example rule so hearing rumors at the same time the trial will raise further tariffs against china so what is what are investors making of that. well markets were slightly negative on wednesday but movements also came from more earnings as investors are focusing on how companies have been performing that being said it seems to me that this new round of terror groups would be a part of a negotiating strategy that tramp administration is trying to force officials to back to the negotiating table through these threats of even higher tariffs but china fed on wednesday that blackmail wouldn't work and that they would retaliate on their side. it's a vision for us in new york good as ever to talk to thanks i think.

the european commission says us so we being important to the e.u. have almost quadrupled commission presidential go to youngcare held it up as a sign that the e.u. is in their promises made soon us president donald trump last week in an apparent effort to dodge a trade war between the two sides donald trump has certainly disrupted global trade flows especially when it comes to soybeans u.s. soybean firmus of seen prices for their produce plunged by twenty percent after their prime export market china imposed high tariffs in retaliation for u.s. tariffs on chinese goods the trade has almost ceased the e.u. was quick to take advantage of the cheap the u.s. crop something that must have been clear to commission president john claude younger last week when he promised trump the e.u. would step up u.s. soybean imports the latest figures show that that process was already well underway . today that you can commit commission has published the latest figures on e.u.

imports of soybeans showing an increase of two hundred eighty three percent in imports of slayer beans from the u.s. bringing that used to a sheriff in parts of u.s. soybeans to thirty seven percent from nine percent just one year ago washington had already promised twelve billion dollars to compensate farmers hurt by the dispute with china but with harvest time approaching many of the most still uncertain i think there's maybe just a little bit of comfort there knowing the administration is backing farmers but you no longer weren't looking for any kind of an aid package we want markets to work and markets to be in china was us soybean farmers main market and it's doubtful increased e.u. imports can make up for the loss soybeans made up sixty percent of u.s. agricultural exports to the country. beijing meantime has ramped up domestic production and lowered import tariffs on other producers and one side effect of the

dispute is that countries like brazil are emerging as the winners brazilian soybean exports to china soared twenty five percent in june. today the first of august is earth overshoot day now is the day that humanity has used up all natural resources that the earth can regenerate revive to stain a plea for this entire year from now on we're moving into well what is essentially deep debt current estimates suggest we would need one point seven earths to satisfy our needs for one year now in one thousand nine hundred seventy while consumption much the renewable resources available since then well consumption has risen continuously consuming the equivalent of five earths worth of resources in one year alone the united states uses the lion's share germany while it uses three planets when it comes to china you can see there two point two that is phenomenal when you

compare it to a country with a population the size of india which only uses zero point six all the planet in the same period now the planetary overload can only be slowed by a drastic cutting consumption by rich countries when we talk about energy food and other resources we need to cut back on all of them and we need to combine that with a massive global increase in sustainable production as well are that some food for thought for you back over to brant now what are we doing to ourselves thank you. well swedish police are hunting the. jewels in a daring daylight robbery of the thieves took the royal regalia from a cathedral near stockholm and then they made a getaway by boat or jet ski on a lake police are now appealing to the public for their help these are what the robbers got away with two crowns and then orb dating back to the seventeenth

century during the rule of king karl the ninth and queen christina they were taken from the historic hilltop strong us cathedral around midday on tuesday where they had been on display that cathedral about an hour's drive from the capital stockholm was reportedly open to visitors at the time with an event being held in a site chapel the jewels were in a locked display cabinet connected to an alarm system reportedly the theft was only noticed after an eyewitness saw two suspects fleeing the scene and alerted authorities the robbers are suspected of fleeing on bicycles to the nearby dock of lake mullard where they then used either a boat or jet skis for their final getaway the bikes have since been recovered. reports say forensic technicians have completed their investigations police are now turning to the public for more leads a police spokesperson said the objects are national treasures and would probably be very difficult to sell interpol is also on the case. well
