today you still see police and military on the streets but some of the shops have opened some banks even opened so it's slowly getting back to normal but some people have the feeling that the whole election drama is not yet over and we will talk about the reasons right now we have two guests here one representative of the opposition party mr jameson timba he is the chief election agent for. a presidential candidate off the opposition party and we also have a representative of the zanu p.f. the governing party in the one gun a. representative in europe i would like to ask you first mr timba your party is not accepting the results of these elections why. discrepancies in this process but in terms of. and process and the money. and opposition is very clear we've not accepted the outcome of this election and. what's your reaction to that. well it's no surprise these guys have been fearing this innocence for
12:06 pm
a very long time they even say. except is there one in which they will be able to come out which areas now this is a result of the way so. there's a price. from where we stand is going to be if. you engage in a process of process when he does a process. personal position what's your way forward then if you will not accept the results are you going to challenge them of course or are you calling for demonstrations. not. the zach must put before the election i think for the presidential candidates the v. twenty three fall short of the presidential result. which is that the twenty three which must be verified by each of the i guess. that dissolved before it is announced indicated to us that before we do any and all solution i'll call you back
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
tried to come in here this march to the polls today as you can see it's all smushed up so you cannot say that it was just a protest no it was vandalism that's eight it's unfortunate and very sad that's people lost their lives and it shouldn't be said he's not sure if there will be demonstration was the way forward is we can still see a massive security force presence here will demonstrations be allowed to. speak for government and speak for the security organs either but demonstrations are. out is people trying to smash up things people burning buses people been in cars people petrol bombs people. are on the street with no that's not so he's saying basically that members of your party states that violent protests is that true and that is not correct what happened today was a spontaneous reaction to taft that has been taking place in as far as this election it was a spontaneous response by ordinary people have been suffering for the last thirty
12:09 pm
eight is. ninety percent of our youth today. and all they need is a very small and that's what happened what we are living under now is a police state it is a military state and these people. you cannot have. opening live i mean nation against an armed defenseless population it cannot be justified and in the second state last quick question to you has mentioned ninety percent unemployment zanu p.f. has run down the economy of this country and dept of zimbabwe is a lot of people say there's no way out of that what will the new presidents do to get the country back on track or your president is already getting the news of the country because the trick with seventy thousand people employed in a period of six months but yes there's been a lot of things done to be able to account for. president i but there's a lot of things these guys have to account for this time since that's how this country has been under which still and the other one's that image of what is for
12:10 pm
them. in d.c. in d.c. the party represents they are still advocating for those these moves to put the country this crisis more is i gave in to supposed to put or to bring it to visit rather suffering upon the people of zimbabwe so that the protests are going to the government and in their protests will be what they have no program their program is a protest thank you very much gentlemen and we go back to terry with that thank you adrian thank you so much for rounding that up and thanks also to your two guests are they doing chris there in harare. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the presidential election in mali will go on to a second round after initial results show that none of the candidates there obtained the fifty percent needed for an outright when current president abraham kark a took aim close with forty one percent of the votes while his close as rival so
12:11 pm
mali say one almost eighteen percent the two will meet in a runoff vote 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 trough administration says it is directing a what it calls a vast government wide effort to protect democratic processes. through the majority of germans say racism here is a big problem that's according to a new survey by polling institute in for a test. the issue of racism has come into focus here after footballer. resigned from the german national squad saying he paced racism and disrespect because of his turkish roots now the poll germans how big of
12:12 pm
a problem racism is in germany and sixty four percent said it was a big or very big problem thirty five percent describe racism as a small problem or no problem at all. all the talk about this latest poll let's bring in correspondent kate brady she's down at our parliamentary studios and kate let's start by talking about. some of our viewers i'm sure will remember he's the german suppressions soccer player of turkish descent resigned from the german national squad after the world cup in in his resignation statement he said he was the target of discrimination by not just german soccer officials but media outlets as well the case has attracted massive media attention how has story shaped the discussion about racism here in germany. well those old resignation has indeed got germany talking by society between immigrants people with migration backgrounds and also among so-called germans and then on top of that
12:13 pm
as well you even hearing from politicians saying that this is an issue which needs to be addressed we've heard from the justice minister and from the foreign minister saying that this is a responsibility of all of german society to address this issue and this is even spread on to social media as a result of resignation there was a campaign there hash tag me too which refers to the idea of having two hearts two identities and many people that have since been sharing their experiences of everyday racism in germany so this is clearly a big topic right now so the new poll shows about two thirds of germans feel racism is a problem in this country can you give us some context for that figure does it tell us whether things are getting better or worse. it isn't a case of whether things of got better or worse more of a fact that the issue of racism in germany never really went away but we've just
12:14 pm
seen that in recent years this certain groups particularly if you think of the xenophobia can come to islam you from pick either or even the far right a.f. dale tentative from germany posse why herring's that in language and since that behavior from them with very strong racist undertones even overtones if you will which is making certain behavior have become much more socially acceptable again in germany but of course at the same time with some of the recent events like the resignation all. this is also bringing they say issue of racism back into the attention of germans now resignation also sparked a debate about migrant integration survey respondents were asked how well they thought migrants had integrated into german society we're going to show you a couple of graphics now the first question asked in this poll was how well integrated migrants who have been are who been living in germany for many years now
12:15 pm
sixty two percent of respondents thought those migrants ones who have been here for many years are well integrated or very well integrated thirty three percent thought they're poorly integrated. now let's take a look at newly arrived migrants and what people think about them whether they think they're well well integrated and it turns out that only twenty eight percent of germans think that newly arrived immigrants are well integrated sixty eight percent think they are poorly integrated. what does that discrepancy tell us aside from the fact that migrants who've been here longer have had more chance to integrate. well it certainly doesn't bode well for new arrivals in germany sorry they were thinking about the migrants who arrive since about two thousand and fifteen at the height of what became known as the refugee crisis germany completely failed in reaching its integration targets last
12:16 pm
year so there's of courses which enable people arriving in germany who saw asylum refugees to apply to german courses and learn about german cultural customs and society and even germany's legal system and they completely missed out on those targets and then on top of that we're now seeing new migration policy measures just early as a suite down in bavaria for example down there they've opened up these new centers which are holding centers of facilities even where asylum seekers will stay while the application is being processed but there is concern that keeping asylum seekers in this one area is going to hinder integration as this process can sometimes take up to eighteen months which could be a very long time asylum seekers hoping to integrate and have contact with german society kate thank you so much for putting that in perspective for political correspondent kate brady there and of course just
12:17 pm
