she found me so she phoned me. and she said. you don't know who i am and as soon as she said that i knew who she was. we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other getting familiar with each other building some trust she needed to feel safe because our children were told that there was something wrong with us they were told an alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. zimbabwe's going to the polls today for the first time since former leader robert mugabe was ousted lines of voters have been see outside polling stations and it is

the first time in almost four decades that garbage name is not on the ballot papers and that has raised much hope both home and abroad but this does mark a rebirth of the african nation so here's a breakdown then why this election matters. this election in zimbabwe is a huge milestone for what's been a very troubled country with an even more troubling financial crisis than his why is the first time since one thousand nine hundred the name of robert mugabe isn't featured on the ballots he was at the helm of the country for almost forty years and it seemed nothing good price in the way mccartney's departure from his presidential throne was as quick as it was unexpected the big coup unfolded after a fight the power between mugabe's own wife and his right hand man the first lady also known as gucci grace and the vice president nicknamed as the crocodile each accuse the other of poisonings and death threats and it seemed grace had won her

way with her ninety three year old husband sacked the vice president but certainly the army stepped it taking control of the capital just as the parliament was moving to impeach robert mugabe who quit to allow a smooth transfer of power and the crocodile funny got his teeth into running the country. so let's look at the main candidates then amisom and gallagher is a member of the ruling party and the incumbent president he was appointed after mugabe was ousted the front runner is predicted to take something like forty percent of the vote although unsurprisingly he hasn't been given the backing of the gobby who claims he grabbed power illegally while his closest rival is this man nelson chamisa he's the current leader of the opposition and a recently qualified pastor to if elected he would become zimbabwe's youngest ever president forty the two candidates are polar opposites to not only in the generations they are representing but also when their political views and gagged

with a good relations with russia and china while his rival is pro western he traveled to the u.s. to meet state department officials and members of congress at the end of last year political analyst and author how it felt mn believes that washington has an interest in this election. i think it's a fairly dangerous. fairly obvious. the us are going to have some form of influence recent days we have seen the withdrawal of funding from the americans from n.g.o.s we also do know that there are still sanctions that the u.s. have applied to this infinitely some form of. politicizing of the oil interference of the elections by the americans and i think america is playing a quite a dangerous game with this because if the wrong candidate as far as they're concerned which is been and if he retains power if he is able to succeed and it

does look like he's going to that america will certainly be left on the outside of it having used the influence financial and political. the run up to be lectured i don't believe it's going to be you do positively when it's a result has been announced. well many countries do have strict rules or more can and can't be done during political campaigns in zimbabwe is no exception although some of its restrictions are pretty unusual.

special award for the best reporting.

but you know i know where his body is buried deep in my heart i'm still hoping he's alive on that day he called me and asked me to pray for him i asked him to be careful and not risk his life being a hero i didn't want to lose him i was so afraid to lose him. but he loved like the morning of the day he died i was worried my mind started to come up with the scary stuff images i was afraid he'd be captured by i so i had a very bad feeling.

we were near the front line the syrian army was battling i saw our work was over and we were about to pack or equipment khaled stood near it i put helmets on him i just wanted to take a photo as a memory of my work with the film crew then the explosion came. along i realized something had happened i didn't know what exactly out of habit i started to film everything after i began filming i so blood on the camera. i tried to room them. i couldn't move my legs i couldn't see anything my eyes were covered in blood mixed with doest a coup for khaled but nobody also. going

to check his facebook page and saw his old photo and the text below said turn was khalid al had died a hero i started to cry my husband fell on the floor i just ran out of our house and screamed. i didn't want to go on that mission but how do you get your head of move she was bright and very determined she was a good journalist you could see that by his reports she did a lot not only for john lee isn't but for his model and as well he helped people soldiers she would bring them food and prompt mind. to the action all my friends know that i want to do something good for people family did a lot for me and now i'm trying to do everything for my loved ones that's my main goal.

there is the most noble political deciders to have more green energy but if implemented in the wrong commercial way. it will or the next few years say within the timeframe of three four five years you will have such a melanson of subsidized projects etc that are unlikely to be able to stand on their own two feet. well it sure seems wrong. just. yet to ship out just days after. and in detroit equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. below again our concern over global conflicts feelings of helplessness and perhaps spending more time in social media could be symptoms of a new mental condition because therapists in the us say that they are seeing increasing numbers of patients with what they call donald trump anxiety disorder apparently it does affect both his supporters and critics will those that dislike him worry that the world will end war supporters feel isolated from society and even their families democrats also fret about the origin of trump success the

twenty sixteen election which they insist was rigged by russia with more his kind of march. now the ideas that are commonly labeled as conspiracy theories at this point are most commonly associated with right wingers and top supporters in the public mind however it seems that liberals also have their share of tinfoil hat thinking polls show that fifty five percent of democrats believe that russia actually did tamper with the voting results only thirteen percent of republicans buy into this idea which is pretty universally rejected even by the staunchest russia bashers are i know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions boats were altered or suppressed they did not change any votel ways or anything of that sort so if russia did indeed carry out election fraud on behalf of donald trump why would james clapper and john brennan and the intelligence community say that they

didn't do that are fifty five percent of democrats actually convinced that the cia is covering up for russia that's quite a conspiracy theory we decided to ask new yorkers about it do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election no no not at all ok and fifty five percent of democrats apparently believe that why media that's why. propaganda fake news trump says it best they're delusional misinformed or they have their own agenda beyond that something else do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election yes can you tell us now well i'm sure through technology they were able to somehow finagle possibly i think so i've heard that a lawyer. yeah maybe but i don't know that they found. one story that you keep bringing up and attack president trump and i think they're going to try to milk as much as they can. i personally don't see any

evidence of fresh million or elections i live to prove. our media and wall in the united states of people don't know the truth about what's really happening pressure is not the enemy that they make it out to be some people think that the moon landing was fake others think that nine eleven was an inside job and it seems that the majority of rank and file democrats believe that somehow russia got into voting machines and changed votes for hillary clinton to vote for donald trump the truth is out there but perhaps people should look for it someplace else. artsy new york while the frenzy over trump which even saw his hollywood star vandalized last week has the right response from pranksters.

isn't there is side war somewhere in russia the trump star can be moved to yeah destroying trump's hollywood star is great but have you tried voting in the midterm election. president now has security out there on the boulevard protecting is star. now tuberculosis the world's deadliest infection may become more expensive to treat that after the u.s. asked for a paragraph to be removed from a u.n. resolution draft the initial resolution dating from july the tenth was obtained by

r.t. from a source involved in the negotiations and it contains a section calling for tb drugs to be made more affordable but washington's request that was scrapped doctors without borders explains why its inclusion is essential. and she has to be able to. take measures to remotes and you know generic manufacturing other words competition for. for drugs when medicines are unavoidable for a country or when there are new generic versions available it's a part of the. international intellectual program even more and every country around the world has agreed that countries have the rates to do.
