10:02 am
effect from the third of august twenty eighth. with fifty point eight percent of the vote and missing money on god avoids a runoff against his nearest rival nelson chamisa who won just over forty four percent his party the movement for democratic change has declared it will challenge the results. of our fair. what would. you give it what. you get what would you say. when i'm doug was policy zanu p.f. is also celebrating its victory in parallel parliamentary elections officials declared a voter turnout of almost eighty percent but european union observers said the election could not be declared entirely fair so it wasn't a level playing field there was
10:03 am
a misuse of state resources bias in the state media and also with regards freedoms there was concern about the pain the pre-election by much pressure on prospective photos through intimidation and coercion. the country was left shaken off the six people died in clashes with soldiers during protests while awaiting the election results. now mon god has promised zimbabwe a new beginning. melanie corrigan ball is covering the latest for us from harare hi melanie the results came in the middle of the night have people there had time to really react to this news. to me many zimbabweans are likely to only be finding out this morning who their president is because as we expected the results only came on touring the night most likely in an attempt to decrease the likelihood of protest here in the country but i'd still saw a military tanks military vehicles heading downtown just after the results were
10:04 am
announced i could hear helicopters throughout the entire night so it looks like the military is ready to crack down on any demonstrators today we might seize an m.p.'s support to celebrating on the streets but it could be that the supporters of the opposition party the m.d.c. might be too scared to go out and protest against this results and melanie you know the opposition they're not backing down they say they're going to challenge this result what opportunities do they have. thank you. well that's true they have said they will reject the result they will challenge it some party members have said they're going to court but to me so himself yesterday even before the results were announced said he would not go to court the judiciary is not independent in this country it would be like walking into the lion's den and he will not be alliance meal so we'll have to see what he is going to be doing here probably address his supporters later and from what we learned yesterday he seems very confident that
10:05 am
people will still take on the streets and raise their voices in his favor and meanwhile money we have the election observers saying they found an unlevel playing field in this felt were these free and fair elections the ones that were promised. international observers have their doubt at least to an extent international critics have been saying that maybe the election was more put on for the western world the international community to move on now it relations especially economically of the country is dependent on that but to many zimbabweans that i spoke to last night it also feels like the play was put on for them they were telling me that they really trusted him and got well although they're not have supporters to really allow for free and transparent elections and they now feel betrayed their feel like the dictator mugabe has gone but maybe the dictatorship hasn't and melanie what he's promising unity what can he do to win support with his
10:06 am
critics. he will have a really really hard time to win support with his critics especially with the supporters of the m.d.c. will have a really hard time uniting the country because he had said before that he will break with iran and now they just feel like he was his right hand and he will continue to rule the country in the very same manner he won't be able to fix the economy and hill for sure well have problems with the international community after this election so people here are very very skeptical to a large extent the w.'s melanie with the very latest for us from harare thank you very much. let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world the presidential election in mali will go on to a second round after initial results show that none of the candidates attained the fifty percent needed for an outright winner current president. came close with
10:07 am
forty one percent of the votes while his closest rival so my less you say won almost eighteen percent that you will meet in a runoff oh next sunday. senior u.s. intelligence officials have accused russia of carrying out what they call a pervasive campaign to influence public opinion ahead of upcoming congressional elections they say moscow is aiming to undermine u.s. democracy by attempting to spread false information and launch cyber attacks the trumpet administration says it is directing a vast government wide effort to protect democratic processes all kinds of you health officials in the democratic republic of congo say the type of the bowler in the country's latest outbreak is a strain which has been successfully vaccinated against in the past four people have tested positive for the deadly virus in recent days the world health organization says there is a high risk of the outbreak spreading including to neighboring countries and in jerusalem tens of thousands have marched in the city's largest ever gay pride parade the colorful festivities were mixed with anger following the passage of
10:08 am
a law that excludes gay men from having children via surrogacy. you're watching news still to come activist ellen arizona shot to fame last week after single and single handedly preventing the deportation of an asylum seeker back to afghanistan did everyone has been talking to anderson about her motivation and to the people who think she should face legal action for breaking the law. but first india has been rocked by a wave of mopp lynchings across the country in recent months more than twenty people have died after a viral rumors about child kidnappers circulated on the messaging service whatsapp the indian government has set up a committee to try to curb the murders in some areas local law enforcement officials have started their own campaigns are india correspondent sonia found a car travel to the western state of mara struck to find out more. it isn't every day that this village sees guests like these. on
10:09 am
a special mission dispelling vital rumors spread and whatsapp that have killed people across the country not the mob ought to be the daughter who's also a trained lawyer is the brains behind the campaign he appeals to the crowd to not be fooled by fake news of the internet and use that own mind to judge what's true or false. misleading videos like this one which claim to show corpses of children have gone vital voices peeves disguised as beggars harvested the organs all because she explains how the videos are doctored to create panic. another clip suggests this woman is an outsider and was trying to abduct her good that's why she was beaten up. fake news like this is spreading like wildfire in india it is a major problem because these are very close knit communities where almost everyone tends to know each other the spread and acceleration of this news can be very very
10:10 am
quick but the fact that it is about child lifting is something for primal something so provocative that your child could be taken away from you i scarcely think there is a greater fear than that for any family or any parent. that that can precipitate violence very easily. that's what happened here in the neighboring district of tulli about three hundred fifty kilometers from mumbai this heavy security in this remote village it only has women and children many of the men have fled ever since a lynching took place in this building. fake news is killing people in india right here in this village council office five people were beaten to death by a mob last month the police say the people were driven by the deals on whatsapp claiming that kidnappers are on the loose the victims were beggars from a nomadic tribe. the lynchings here were particularly brutal the police of wristed twenty eight people so far. cry to help the victims by locking them
10:11 am
in here but the mob force their way in large. sharpton and. the people with sticks with rods put stones in witches in the office the crowd was bloodthirsty i've never seen anything like this there was a video on someone's phone warning people to stay vigilant because gangs were kidnapping children and stealing the organs. in monaco police have trekking jane type if anyone forwards explosive messages that can cause public panic. it's the campaign. before the boy and. the measuring stick on an added urgency in monaco's melting pot into religious tensions are never far from the surface here. today offices are in the hindu temple it's part of the campaign's outreach to influential religious leaders the message is remain skeptical of what you read
10:12 am
online and don't divide. the campaign continues a traffic junctions across the city leaflets with police help like numbers are handed out. to raise awareness about the deadly consequences of fake news. now every month the polling institute in protest conducts a survey here in germany on current affairs the topic of racism in germany came into focus after german football star mesut o.z.i.l. announced he would leave the national squad he says he faced racism and disrespect because of his turkish roots the survey asked germans how big a problem racism is in germany and sixty four percent said it was a very big or big problem thirty five percent said it was a small problem or not a problem at all. let's talk about these numbers with our political correspondent kate brady has been following the service survey for a psychic how much of an impact has made it to leave the national squad had on the
10:13 am
surveyed about racism here in germany. has his resignation to affect this rather long standing debate and its reignited even saw a lot of germans turning to social media there was a campaign launched that the hashtag to in reference to have in the idea of having two hearts as a identity in germany so people have been sharing their experiences that also of every day racism so it certainly got everyone talking again and brought this issue back to the foreground and what our attitudes towards racism changing well there's two sides to that really is the. that there are certain groups in germany if you think of the anti islam phobic movement began all the fall right after the alternative for germany party they have managed in recent years to make certain racist attitudes or behavior is. even more socially acceptable actually in germany
10:14 am
again it's interesting that supporters of the f.t. who took part in this poll thirty seven percent of them actually said that racism only thirty seven percent said that racism is a big or very big problem let's take a look at some of the other numbers because mr doe's was resignation also sparked a debate about integration survey respondents were asked how well they thought migrants had integrated into german society and let's take a look at two graphics here the first question asked how well integrated or migrants have been living in germany for many years and sixty two percent of respondents thought migrants are well integrated or very well integrated thirty three percent thought they were poorly integrated and another graphic here shows how well germans think newly arrived migrants are integrated only twenty eight percent think they are well integrated sixty eight percent think that they are poorly integrated. so what do you think this discrepancy tells us well there is certainly a lot to be done when it comes to integration in germany in particular for these new arrivals when we talk about the newly arrived migrants looking at people who
10:15 am
arrive larger since two thousand and fifteen at the height of what became known as the refugee crisis but germany has a long way to go even last year germany failed to reach its integration goals especially when it comes to participation in integration courses which help people learn the language and get to know german cultural customs and also the german law and on top of that you've got more new measures when it comes to migration policy that could also hinde integration in germany even further if you look down to bavaria and so than germany they sweet they opened and consensus where asylum seekers there will be. i'm told that asylum application has been processed but that could take up to eighteen months and so there are concerns that that new measure could also hinder integration when these asylum seekers have very very little contact with german society or an important debate here in germany are political correspondent kate brady thank you very much to sweden now ellen emerson made
10:16 am
headlines last week when she staged a one woman protest to stop the deportation of an asylum seeker back to afghanistan our son was aboard a plane about to take off from good to but she refused to take her seat preventing the plane from taking off she live streamed her actions and earned a praise for her bravery but also criticism w. caught up with the young activist. when ellen arris and meets people these days her protest dominates the conversation people all over the world still congratulate her for her courage when she refused to take a seat on an airplane she drew global attention to deportations to afghanistan that it was sold that car life video from the plane met international headlines heiress and wanted to draw attention to what she feels is sweden's inhumane asylum policy we are not giving the correct legal procedure they have the right to we are the
10:17 am
government and the migration office are doing so much things that they possibly can use to make sure that they deport and react as many people as possible. harrison belongs to a group that looks after former unaccompanied minor refugees from afghanistan the young refugees are optimistic that swedes like arson are prepared to use civil disobedience to prevent them to potations. i should also have been deported i lost an appeal against it i've been waiting for a year for a decision it might be even take another year if i were then to be deported i would have lived in sweden for four years i really don't know how i would react to that. the erson case has fueled further debate on asylum and immigration in sweden parliamentary elections are coming up in september surveys show increasing support for right wing populist but there are still those who will come refugees for the
10:18 am
next government should put a stop to immigration it was. told. that anybody may need immigration in sweden because we need the i will certainly not vote for any party that is against refugees and immigration. the biggest opposition party the conservative moderate party is outraged over the claim it has received they. oneto to face legal consequences how do you feel policy doesn't mean here it's not the government that decides on deportation but the courts. that we do more than it's not acceptable for individuals to defy court decisions some throw a lot of stick out the field of approval. on this route but as long as people being deployed to afghanistan risk getting killed urson says she wants to continue her luck. so even if your guests like stuffing dick with a shift in afghanistan then i believe we probably they still together and i hope so
10:19 am
because they are part of my life not the person least for an interview with the british radio station the debate over deport taishan to afghanistan continues in part thanks to an absent. time for business with get hard now and guarantee of a story of an historic record for a tech giant yes you can say that apple has become the first company to reach one trillion dollar markets complication his story feeds after publishing bumpus second quarter results on thursday increased demand lift at the sharp rise beyond the one trillion. the share price hit two hundred seven dollars and all of a sudden apple was worth a trillion dollars the company made its market debut in one thousand nine hundred eighty with a share price of thirty nine cents if you bought ten thousand dollars worth of shares back then your investment would now be worth six point four million apple's clearly come a long way in one nine hundred ninety seven the company found itself on the brink
10:20 am
of collapse when the macintosh wasn't selling consumers seemingly unwilling to pay more for it than its microsoft alternative. but with the introduction of the i pod and the i phone things began to look up again the devices the design winning apple a cult following after the death of founder steve jobs tim cook took over at the helm under his leadership apple became the biggest stock market success in u.s. history brings some new features today that the everyone has i phones i pads i products and no oil to be on there is significant they had been able to continue to sell product increasing prices higher margins the question of course always is can they continue it you know what's the next product they'll have what's the competition doing you know with the joke being that the next apple competitor
10:21 am
is an eighteen year old sitting in a garage somewhere apple's still has its current competitors to worry about earlier this week china is well way over took apple as the number two smartphone maker in the world. on its go straight to our markets correspondent cold in frankfurt. that one trillion that sounds very impressive but what does it actually make. yeah indeed it is a very oppressive i actually had really to think how many zeros they are after the one of the enter figured out when you put this into perspective garrett and we talked for example here about the blue chip and next tax in frankfurt this valuation has the volume of fifteen companies here listed in the blue chip in deck stocks and when we talk about tech companies and very high valuations we also have to talk about the dot car dot com bubble that was there between two thousand
10:22 am
and two thousand and two by that time many companies had this very big valuation and we saw actually a crash happening at the stock market in the case of apple this is different now because when you take a look at their quarterly reports they were really providing record after record about their i phones also about their new you phones but when you talk about it it is really just a psychological mark of course it's a lot of money it's an impressive number but at the end it's just psychology is just just theoretical to you mentioned the early two thousand there i remember back then it was all about shareholder value is this about shareholder value as well and how sustainable is us. yeah that's a big question and yeah bad news this morning for the apple shareholders the company at this moment is not anymore with this one trillion a you as dollars the share price has been dropping i was talking a little bit earlier to and to an investor he was telling me that most likely also
10:23 am
there on wall street and mastic investors were really pushing they wanted to see this number appearing on the board but yeah it's going to be very interesting how all of this is going to develop also with this still trade war that's going on between the united states and also with china apple realise and depends a lot on china so it's going to be very interesting also how the share price in the next weeks is going to develop and who might be the second company to hit the one trillion us dollar mark. wait and see don't have hope in frankfurt thank you very much. and here's another tech industry landmark for you abby and be honest ten years old today home sharing website has disrupted the travel industry like none of us shaking our business models turning tenants into hotel gays and putting small independent hotels out of business and b. is one of the first to capitalize on the so called sharing economy resistance is
