sumi so much down there good to have you with us sim bob noyce president emerson man and god what has called for a dialogue with the opposition amid high tensions following monday's elections his comedy comments come a day before after wrap of the military shot dead three on armed demonstrators at a protest in the capital harare when they got deployed the troops to disperse the protesters who allege the country's elections were raked international observers have condemned what they call the use of excessive force by the army. 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 what the protesters claim they didn't stop the violence. was going on was driving. this is a 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 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 for all the central that is just next door to zach had not been released by our flight by midday today is inappropriate and suggest 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 sides. let's go right to due to these melanie credible she's following the latest for us from harare hi melanie a commonwealth election observers have just held a press conference what did they say. become and have observers here have are of course denounced the excessive use of violence against civilians yesterday they extended their sympathies to the. the families of the victims and all parties here to act in restraint to restrain violence to make sure that it doesn't happen like it did yesterday and they were also saying that they have

really urging the zimbabwean electoral commission to bring out the results as soon as possible because any further delay is of course grounds for speculation and will keep on driving people onto the streets protesting and this could of course lead to further violence especially if we look back at the days and the during the election they have also been saying that what happened was there was a lot of. and on top of that with the with the delay of the results people are just getting more and more skeptical about how fair and transparent these elections really are my speaking of the violence that we saw last night what is the atmosphere like on the streets this morning. where sumi has come down considerably the streets are a lot more empty than they were yesterday the army is still present though we've been hearing from the government that during the election there were seventy thousand police officers deployed in the country and they are understaffed now so

the army will remain in the streets until there is no further reason for doubt that there might be more protests of violence coming so basically we are in a silent state of emergency him zimbabwe money you've been talking to people there in harare has some of the initial excite excitement over the first election since the ouster of robert mugabe last year dissipated because of the violence and questions over the validity of the vote. it most definitely has i mean there was an unprecedented state of happiness i would say and excitement about this election people were telling me during the election on election day that they could vote side by side that everything was more free and fair and peaceful and now people are saying the complete opposite is of course all supporters of bennett p.f. of cause blaming m.d.c. for the violence and saying they should just concede defeat but supporters of the m.d.c. saying the opposite they are saying that they are just tired and sick of stolen

elections and the future and one woman this morning was just crying because she couldn't believe the amount of violence that she was seeing yesterday against older people and women as well was really heartbreaking to see all right emotions running very high there mentally. in harare thank you very much. now some other stories making news around the world authorities in the democratic republic of congo say four more people have tested positive for the a bowl of virus in the country's northeast the outbreak in north kivu province close to the ugandan border has already claimed twenty thousand lives the cases come just days after another outbreak in the northwest of the sea was declared over . and the u.s. has announced sanctions against to talk turkish officials over the country's detention of an american pastor turkey accuses andrew brunson of aiding the failed coup attempt against turkish president won in two thousand and sixteen the u.s. is demanding bronson's immediate release. lebanon is stepping up

pressure on syrian refugees to return home some one point five million syrian refugees are currently in lebanon and officials there have repeatedly said the country is under strain hundreds of refugees have returned to syria in the past few weeks but many more say they cannot go back to travel to the town of ourselves where she met a mother who fled syria the government killed her husband and son and she and her children fear for their lives if they were turned. it was not a voyage of the ever imagined undertaking but the mother of eight and grandmother of three children was forced to flee her syrian home. to take refuge in the town of ourselves just across the border in lebanon. although it happened five years ago the memories are still fresh this is my son or husband and eldest son who were

killed in the syrian war. beginning of the uprising protests were not violent they were peaceful but my husband was killed because he took part in the my son was with the regime army doing his compulsory service in the syrian intelligence service killed him because he deserted. who fears the assad regime but the pressure from lebanon to leave is building some three thousand syrians have already registered to return i can never go back to syria. she is especially worried about this man. is a member of the syrian committee tasked with collecting the names of billing return ease and sending the list to damascus for approval who is suspicious of the government. with those who protested against the regime. upon arrival

fuz them approval to return. but golson denies the charge. it's not a condition not an issue of approval it's just about informing the government of the names of the people returning. he claims syria is now safe and to convince us he asked one of the refugees who reply to return to talk to us do you want to go back of course what's keeping me here but it doesn't go quite as he sought so he is confronted by angry syrians know their jobs are going back to syria safely is impossible. that's all. he shows his blood scars the military did this while still i leave. my lebanon's government is eager to talk one off million syrian refugees so many say they may be forced to look at europe again. and her friends are among those thinking about making

the journey to europe they know that it won't be easy but the risk of reprisal by a soft security forces is high. one of the ladies has just heard of the arrest of her sister by the syrian regime. i want to migrate to europe for the future of my children and i applied to the un but they didn't help me other than me only had mobile smugglers want one thousand euros for the trip but when i saw the film isn't it meant that i feel. who doesn't know what she would do react and many here are facing a similar dilemma. it may be too soon to say if there will be a second wave of refugees to europe but the conditions are right. for now despite all the hardship who best bet seems to be levanon. the lebanese.

activists in denmark have held protests against a ban on full face veils that came into force yesterday the so-called burqa or niqab ban prevents people from covering their faces in public denmark follows other european countries which have introduced such a ban including france and belgium. as soon as their faces may be masked but their outrage is on display over a thousand protesters marched through copenhagen in defiance of denmark's new ban on facial coverings they say the lord infringes on freedoms of religion and expression and the right to dress as they choose i mean he said is a discriminating law it's of searchlights a law that doesn't make sense in practice i really hate this law i think is so embarrassing and i cannot stand being a citizen in this so-called democracy where this kind of of the mosque protestors and those wearing burkas and you cabs can now be fined more than one hundred euros

more than a thousand euros for repeat offenses opponents say the real price will be paid by danish society we actually limiting our freedoms our liberal freedom rights in a society to dress like we want to write we want and so falls so so i think it's meaning a dangerous step to take the majority in the parliament has done with this law because what is that what is coming next what is after this supporters of the law held their own demonstration they say the ban upholds secular and democratic values and combat's fundamentalist islam. were once your stand against political islam is the fundamentalist in our society that we have some people who believe that their in their good right to wear his scarf would call this all of the face so we're not able to see their faces or she's not able to see their face and this is where we want to take a stand against. an estimated two hundred muslim women in denmark where facial

coverings some say they plan to carry on despite the ban that i feel insecure now that i'm going out. facing people and moving everything. but in my believe in from hot and calm i think i would be in the same as i was do it's now up to danish police to decide if and when to enforce the ban. now swedish police say it is criminals one us ciro this as they hunt to thieves who stole priceless crown jewels in a daring daylight robbery that these took the royal by golly a from a cathedral near stockholm before making a getaway in via a nearby lake police are appealing to the public for their help and reclaiming the erle. these are what the robbers got away with two crowns and an orb dating back to
