security forces clashed with. the country's opposition says the results will have the latest from.

swedish police. across a. police in zimbabwe say at least three people have died in the capital after clashes between protesters and security forces the unrest follows the country's election on monday. that the long ruling party has won a majority. soldiers firing

live rounds and zimbabwe's capital. the army into the street to harare midafternoon 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 the protesters claim they didn't start the violence. is going on right. i just want to know if this is a demonstration that. the crackdown came after a day of protest in the capital people were taken to the streets to protest a delay in 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 every citizen strike to demand that the results are produced in reasonable time ok the fact that the results far right essential that it's just next door just have not been released by upright by midday today is inappropriate and suggests that something wrong is happening 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 science. well for more tonight i'm joined by any 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. i think 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 process and anger at the results that have been already so far mr cross that's as quite a statement there they're going to get away with it so in other words the ruling zandu p.f. 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 this is 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 didn't think so we had live ammunition used in the food riots in this country along a long time just just before in d.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 a mission was just simply action reprehensible and i don't think that they can justify that a tour and i'm very disappointed that in fact the president himself has not really made a statement expressing anger at what police have 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 he's the sidney i'm told at 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 complete the sit innocent man the guy who will be elected with a substantial majority. i think it could lead to assure the violence but i hope not i hope that i'm disappointed that nelson should he said my prison has not called for calm he's not coach will leave the country to an end and i membership to to remain disciplined and calm in these circumstances because any inflammatory statements right now will cause problems and i hope that's not going to happen are we a christian country tradition we we're not a violent people and i would hope that zimbabweans will go back to normal tomorrow and we work with or see the peace and the army withdrew from the streets but i think many people around the world also share that wish for for a peaceful end to this violence in your country mr adie cross a retired legislator from zimbabwe's put making headlines around the world in the

seekers there while their applications are a process which can take up to eighteen months they will deport anyone who was rejected critics say that the system will get a walk. 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 anchor centers 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 courts the claim is that will mean applications it dealt with more quickly. with these centers the migration agency will in most cases be able to issue documents in three or three and a half months whether people are to be granted refugee status rejected. 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 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 of

opponents of gemini. or political correspondent thomas sparrow he is covering the story for us tonight good evening to you so must we know that these new processing centers are controversial so what are the critics say. essentially that they will isolate refugees and that by isolating refugees that will actually affect their capacity to integrate in germany that is one of the key arguments that critics have been using against this so-called anchor saying does on the other hand those who are in favor of them those who who actually proposed among developed them have said that this will make processes quicker more effective and more comprehensive and in fact if you look at germany's coalition agreement it specifically mentions these on consent and that the fact that germany wants to make these procedures overall more quickly and more comprehensive. so far germany has been slow to process asylum applications or these new centers are the answer to speeding up this process well

it is at least the goal and it is the goal of interior minister as a whole for whether they will actually speed up the whole process that's obviously something that we still have to wait for because they have only just started as we saw in our report and this is only seen as a test phase which if it is successful could then be may be applied in other parts of germany but it's important to stress that this is only one pot of the whole asylum procedure in germany that may decide the case of a specific individuals in germany but then if for example their side of application is approved then you have the big challenge of integrating them into german society on the other hand if their asylum application is rejected you then have to return them to their countries of origin and that is obviously another big problem because in most cases you have to have an agreement with those specific countries so yes it may speed up the process but the challenge still remains a big one for germany and the centers they are the brainchild of the interior minister horst zahle for he comes from bulgaria and so far we only have these

centers in bulgaria are we likely to see them elsewhere. not at the moment because of the issues that i explained but it is important to understand why the very obviously one issue is because most refugees came through bavaria in the first place but obviously the other issue is that very. very important regional election in october the c.s.u. of a varian conservative the system will say to you they have been losing ground in five areas to for example the a it difficult for germany they have been complaining on a platform that is all very focused on restricting the entry of refugees and that is probably why the interior minister has been presenting also these ideas that ultimately want to present a more restrictive policy of immigration in germany or correspondence almost bear on the story for us tonight here in berlin thomas thank you swedish police are hunting seeds used priceless crown jewels in the during daylight robbery the thieves took the royal regalia from me cathedral near stockholm before making
