a.n.c. corruption was rife and the whole the liberation movement once inspired was fading for the first time the party lost support at the polls those forces would extend in the twenty fourteen election but because a continued to vote for the a.n.c. i didn't support him i was definitely behind him but nobody. would go this way. and principle is a member it's difficult. we remain loyal to the right we are going to point out the wrong. thing to set up with the a.n.c. having lost support in the last two consecutive elections watches will be looking to this poll to see if the party will continue with its declines or if its promise of a restored image. back both is good or bad. joining me now from johannesburg south africa is my colleague christine. christine nice to see you for sure now some reports that we may. see how widespread is that in the party. maybe the whole point of getting into office before jacob's term even ended was to really reignite voters all supporters of the party who had now thought twice and thought about defecting and not voting for the party the whole idea was to send the

a.n.c. corruption was rife and the hope the liberation movement once inspired was fading for the first time the party lost support at the polls those losses would extend into twenty fourteen election but cause a continued to vote for the a.n.c. i didn't support think of whom i was definitely behind him but nobody had tried to predict that things would go this way. and president putin is a member it's difficult to fall back. in the other organization we remain loyal to the is going to point out the wrong. thing to set up with the a.n.c. having lost supports in the last two consecutive elections watches will be looking to this poll to see if the party will continue with its declines all if its promise of a restored image will be enough to pull back votes is a bad thing. christine reporting from south africa when we use the internet or social media aspects of our identity are often stored online artificial intelligence can exploit that data in various ways some of which are morally questionable so here's the question how do you program a moral compass scientists at university here in germany a

a.n.c. is vote share and the turnout has decreased. for the successive elections as you mentioned disenfranchisement over perceived for delivery of public services and a series of corruption scandals of affected the ruling a.n.c. let's take a look at the process that's going on here that is in this area alexandra since the early two thousand been protests against full public service delivery and similar protests have been seen in sound all over the country. here and got alexander those protests stepped up just in the last month or so before the election there were several policemen in every polling station that we've been to there's also been a police helicopter circling above but no sign of any andress today on voting day itself everywhere in the country so far has been calm and peaceful. as you mentioned just before the african national congress is expected to win this election that's with opinion polls suggesting with a smaller margin than it's ever had before that's because the democratic alliance it was. steadily increasing vote for about the last ten years of economic freedom fighters which was founded six years ago by former politicians who were pushed out of the a

corruption and economic stagnation. even president cyril ramaphosa who's from the a.n.c. admits to the problems corruption walks into the way. the term age got into the way of focusing. you were brought into the way that admission may not win over voters the way the a.n.c. did at the last election five years ago when they took sixty two percent of the vote we just want them to take care of us take care of the take away two hundred make sure that our kids are having topes listen to what the people want it's very easy to stand they make promises bad enough it's another thing to actually implement and become the government that people vote for you don't switch up on us because now you empower. another possible winner could be center right democratic alliance leader musi my mana who cast his vote in so went to the cradle of the fight against apartheid but the biggest challenger to the a.n.c. could well be leftist leader julius malema of the economic freedom fighters he's pushed for a redistribution of prime agricultural land much of which is owned by the white minority. and no

a.n.c. is vote share and the turnout was to create and series of corruption scandals of affected the ruling a.n.c. let's take a look around at the process that's going on here to see in this area alexandra since the early two thousand there's been protests against full public service delivery and similar protests have been seen in soundstage all over the country. here and got xandra those protests stepped up just in the last month or so before the election. several policemen every polling station that we've been to there's also been a police helicopter circling above but no sign of any andress today on voting day itself everywhere in the country so far has been calm and peaceful. as you mentioned just before the african national congress is expected to win this election that's what opinion polls suggest but with a smaller margin than it's. before because the democratic alliance is not a steadily increasing vote for about the last ten years as an economic freedom fighters which was founded six years ago by former a.n.c. politicians who were pushed out of the a.n.c. they've risen quite rapidly

a.n.c. party have been watching their approval ratings nosedive as he struggles to make good on promises to fight corruption and get the economy back on track although the a.n.c. is expected to win this election as it has every time since the country emerged from white minority rule twenty five years ago analysts are predicting that it's margin of victory will fall sharply. now a reduced margin of victory could make it even more difficult for president robert poser to restore his party's reputation and implement the economic and political reforms that he has promised. so many south africans ciro run a pose and body to a new chapter and leader who enjoyed support and trust right across the class and color divides. when he replaced his disgraced predecessor jacob zuma first as leader of the a.n.c. and then as president he promised years of corruption and economic mismanagement were over your door is up or nose and that wonderful door has opened. as a young anti apartheid activist and trade union leader from opposer was a nelson mandela protege led the talks to and white minority rule in south africa. but when

a.n.c. of doing this elections you could see some names that are clearly associated with corruption this is put an exciting election a grin that the a.n.c. will win is not a foregone foregone conclusion tell us how the main challengers in this election have performed. it is very likely that the democratic alliance will once again be the second strongest force and the party is trying to shape their image of a white middle class party but of course people are also keenly looking on what will happen with the economic freedom fighters the self declared a radical leftist party that has made headlines with rather radical ideas expropriation without compensation for example i'm on nationalization of big companies and they've largely been trying to get the votes from those people who are frustrated we're frustrated of twenty five years of the a.n.c. but many are saying did not bring them to development that they were hoping for. when to expect first results here. for the preliminary results will keep on coming in today for tomorrow but only on saturday we will really have the final results and we wi

a.n.c. for corruption and for. we seem to have lost the sound from malcolm knows who's trying to explain what's going on we will be obviously going back to the vote count through the day here when i was there and following who does win and is declared the winner of the south african general election but earlier we spoke to grant masterson who is a political analyst at the electoral institute for sustainable democracy south africa he says the apartheid regime engineered a split in society and that still causes massive inequality. we've had two presidents during the current term had the very unpopular former president jacob zuma who was so unpopular that even his own party didn't believe they could carry him to the election and since then we've had president graham opposed to come in and really try to steady the ship for the a.n.c. this seems to be a referendum on the that the future of the a.n.c. as government and you know people have expressed as you said their dissatisfaction with the state of the economy the stat

chips throughout south africa and another key reason is corruption scandals the a.n.c. has been blighted in a series of corruption scandals specially under the rule of the previous president jacob zuma although still ram opposer who took over just over a year ago it's generally perceived to be a change of direction but all of these things have affected the vote over many generations are many elections and opinion polls suggest that this time they are going to keep their majority but it's expected that with the keep it with a smaller margin than ever before people are waiting to see how many of those lost votes will be picked up by opposition such as the democratic alliance or the economic freedom fighters or how much will be lost to. turnout turnout which has been decreasing in only about three quarters of eligible voters registered to vote in this election and of course not all of those three quarters of eligible voters will actually come to polling stations today but we'll be finding out of course what kind of turnout we're getting and of course. how much of the vote a

a.n.c. on corruption on delivery of public services and their vote share has gone up from school about 6 percent in the last election to just over 10 percent in this election and they used their handful of seats in the last parliament to disrupt proceedings to attack again see how much higher the a.n.c. comes under in parliament in the years ahead it's going to depend a lot on who said will run a pose a keep seein who's in the cabinet who actually comes to be sworn in to parliament and if you seem to be really cleaning the house then that might take the pressure off from the opposition somewhat but if it's a lot of the old players who've been implicated in some of those corruption scandals that we just talked about then we could expect to see a lot more fire from the opposition in the national assembly in the 5 years ahead i'll leave it there for the moment malcolm thank you. know a u.s. warship designed to learn the u.s. marines is on its way to reinforce naval forces in the goals iran is dismissing the deployment of psychological warfare and intimidation the arlington is joining the abraham li

a.n.c. to account for corruption. for delivery of public services and now they've got more than 10 percent of the vote so certainly for the 30 percent of the vote but it's an increase they'll be considering that result a success malcolm thank you. to venezuela where the opposition supporters gather in the capital caracas for another day of protest against president nicolas maduro but it was a smaller turnout for. who called for nationwide demonstrations against a government crackdown on opposition politicians. his deputy. was arrested and later sent to a military prison for taking part in last month's failed coup attempt to raise a boy who was at the protest in caracas and sent us this update. we're here in this last hour for why they all spoke to all of the population that gathered here to listen to him just until some minutes ago he's been talking about the possibility of cooperation with the united states southern command he asked people to be patients that they need to continue the pressure against the government

a.n.c. run the company and see about. corruption our else could be how. to gain support for the party. one way. to use what we call the more meaning that. the happiness. because as you as i hit it in the. lives he was talking about that he knew of that he has been talking about since november twenty eighth during the african national congress conference here in johannesburg where he was this new dog so apparently i associate you with a you know every invention of the agency and that is the message that you have yet they have used to move away from the old tie at nine years or last year is the quantity it's about the god of jacob zuma so he said didn't you i miss that she's the one that they have used to say we have a new president is going to fight corruption he's going to deal with the legacy of the past trust you give us on the edges of this now according to the early results the democrats. have not really taken advantage of the fallen support for the a.n.c. why is that you think. on the one hand the democratic alliance carries a baggage it is increasingly being. built into a multi-r

a.n.c. often through corruption scandals and alleged and then these poor delivery of public services on this side we've got. officials from the electoral commission who are compiling the data that's being put up on the screens and distributed and one of the interesting things we learned from the data that they've come out with is that the turnout this time it's only about sixty five percent it's much lower than it's been in some past elections and that number actually doesn't include about a quarter of people who are eligible to vote who didn't even register to vote in this election so as the end sees vote share has steadily decreased over successive elections this time at the moment looking like it could be below sixty percent but it's not as if the opposition parties are picking up all of those lost. what we're seeing is less and less people voting particularly young people voting less in each election. and so the a and c. as well as turning. many people to support has become disenfranchised the opposition parties aren't managing to convince those people that they're actually any better th

a.n.c. voter turnout was also low people are believed to have been dismayed by corruption allegations and the lack of jobs. leader president still run opposed had promised to clean up south africa and boost the economy his party is being criticised for failing to deliver on many of the promises for ram opposed the says the election results show the still faith in the a.n.c. for me the mirror has this report from the capital pretoria. south africa which is now to declare the elections to be free and fair. thank you. a victory for the african national congress comes as little surprise to many but with 57.5 percent of the vote it's a reality check for the party that's been in power since the end of apartheid in 1915 years ago almost 70 percent of south african supported the a.n.c. our people have spoken and they have done so clearly and emphatically they have voted for a more equal society free from poverty hunger and want they have voted for a country that they would like to see at peace with his self whether it's continent. and with the world at large the party always knew this would be a toug

a.n.c. party have been watching a bit approval ratings plummet as he struggles to make good on promises to fight corruption and get the economy back on track although the a.n.c. is expected to win this election as it has every time since the country of much from white minority rule twenty five years ago analysts are predicting that it's margin of victory will forward. joining me now from johannesburg is d.w. is christine manuel welcome christine you're at a polling station what is at stake in this election what are people saying to you. i reached at several macalso was just here he voted at this station that i met this is in so which will add a lot is at stake particularly for his fogey as you rightly said this is the hardest fight the a.n.c. has had to fight to get at post a cottage it is the most difficulty election simply because there is just so much discontentment among south africans a lot of people and happy with the slow rate of progress and attitude that the amount of corruption that has taken place and the previous and see president jacob zuma so a lot is at stake for this party he spoke at a ful

a.n.c. for its corruption poor service delivery and other issues they've promised more radical changes to redistribute south africa's wealth which is very an equally distributed the world bank says it's the most on equal country in the world on this side agents from the electoral commission are processing some of that data and bringing it in just in the last few minutes the percentage of votes counted has just gone over ninety percent and of course as more and more of those votes are counted we're getting closer and closer to what will be the final result thanks bulk of course. that voters are verified and declared thank you protest leaders in sudar are threatening civil disobedience as they grow increasingly frustrated with the military's delays in hunting over power protests began last year touched off by the rising cost of bread and fuel they soon as close to two nationwide demonstrations demanding long time president omar al bashir stepped down but the rules for thirty years was overthrown by the military on april the eleventh a military council took power promising to hand over legislation to a c

set to extend its twenty five years in power but voters are angry over rampant corruption and spiraling inequality the a.n.c. can no longer take voters support for granted also coming up iran announces its partial withdrawal from that landmark two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal exactly one year after the u.s. pulled out tehran says it could soon resume.

a full fledged member others say that this is the result of gross incompetence and corruption at the hands of the a.n.c. based on what you had seen and heard which is the better as. brant most probably the latter we're talking about a country that is you know coming out of you know it's only been twenty five years i mean if you look at the number of years that it was rife inequality in this country going over a hundred years so people do accept the fact that the a.n.c. cannot have turned everything around in the space of two decades going on two three but the problem is you have black south africans living in squalid conditions in dire poverty and not necessarily because they are no resources in the country or the turnaround strategy just isn't happening fast enough but really because there's been mismanagement at the hands of government officials so it is becoming difficult to go to south africans and make the case of the n.c.l.b. making that we need more time because people have looked at the last two decades for example and seen the levels of corruption in government and so it doesn't make sense any

a.n.c. in some senses to wash its hands of the zuma regime so whilst the country remains mired in the consequences of the corruption and cronyism and the other excesses of the zuma regime because we have a change in the a.n.c. the a.n.c. itself has been able to argue that they are now that they need to be given a fresh chance and that they should be allowed to clean up their own mess in the scenes but sadly corruption is one of these states of the economy is always looming large the state of personal security crime is always an issue in south africa and of course we have the very emotive issue of land and several parties suggesting that with a legs into power they will be expropriated land without compensation change of the constitution so there's been a lot of issues for voters to consider as they look at these particular elections. in cape town i have been hearing these issues for the last twenty five years every time we've had to south africa elections it's always seems to be the same issue security corruption inequality even land has been discussed but that doesn't seem to be any concrete measures taken. i thin

a.n.c. party to get a grip on the economy and corruption the former union leader turned business magnate has promised to create jobs and continue to fight corruption he needed a resoundingly victory to unite a party that has been deeply divided since the ousting of scandal plagued jacob zuma a year ago unemployment is at a 15 year high of 27 point one percent but youth unemployment is at the highest level in the world the economy grew just 0.8 percent in 2018 after recovering from a recession run a poster hopes to create 275000 jobs a year but the economy hasn't grown more than 2 percent over the last 5 years. and all this against the backdrop of inequality electricity and water shortages now does it is for me to miller has more now on the challenges facing the country during its election campaign the african national congress promised to clean up corruption now it's in areas like this where the impact of the corruption is most felt the government says that it loses at least 2000000000 dollars every year as well as $76000.00 jobs due to corruption critics say that money could be spent on pro

their promises and one point is also the issue of corruption that is really bothering a lot of south africans they're complaining about it that the a.n.c. didn't seem to take it really as a big issue in the past years remember under the government of former president jacob zuma corruption was rampant in all levels of governance corruption happened nobody really seemed to take care of it and said he will change that he will go after people also in his own party if it is proven that they are corrupt and this is what south africans are really the opposite of in right now if you will walk is talk. in cape town thank you very much. 3 of the 4 foreign hostages rescued from the militant group and burkina faso have arrived in france a 4th an american woman is being repatriated separately the tourists were freed in an operation carried out by french special forces 2 soldiers were killed in the overnight raid in the west african country france has about 4 and a half 1000 troops in the region it's leading an effort aimed at fighting jihad and surgeons which is considered a relative success so far at a cost $24.00 french soldiers have died since 2

and speaking of corruption the man within the a.n.c. who was kind of seen as the face of that corruption was was the former president to former president who still has a lot of support within within the a.n.c. . how will they be looking at all this i mean will they be trying to push back. i think what they in see has and the n.c. is a is essentially quite upset that at the moment it's probably going into this election weaker than it's ever been in its history it's probably about three or four at least three or four different factions internally what they've done is to try to present a united front i don't think that the zuma support as the president will support us will push that per se because that would mean of course that the a.n.c. might lose its incumbency and that's the bigger picture so there is this debt tends to keep things together for this moment but there's a huge amount of infighting and that in itself might be something that may not be easy to manage going forward especially over the next five yes. and the n c has won every

a.n.c. now the african national congress ahead of the recent elections came out strongly against corruption but they haven't been any high level officials to be in charge related to the most recent avocations so this really is about how the a.n.c. is going to come out and the stunts it takes relates it to corruption the stance it takes what they've got to jacob zuma and who we may see a in quotes wanting to support the president a window not the a.n.c. distances himself existence in south from the former president from a good many thanks very much leaving me to the high court in putin methods by trying to walk. opposition politician wants to be has returned to the democrats or republicans can go his plane arrived a short time ago could be has spent almost 3 years in exile off to for me out with then president joys of competing and it's big now it's a conference oyo who joins us from. and katherine how much of an impact will this have on the political landscape. by putting new. actually there is now leaving the airport i love about the balance of people behind me now they are all escorting. u

cases and you know the big problem is that these corruption cases have been happening under the watch of is a very own party under the watch of the a.n.c. and many people you have the impression that there were never any consequences for people who were corrupt and so many south africans i talked to they really have high hopes now in rome up also that he will not only tell them what he wants to do that he will really follow up on it and that also will take action on people who are in his very own party ok. reporting from cape town thanks for that. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. protesters in albania have been throwing molotov cocktails at the prime minister's office opposition parties called for saturday's demonstration hoping to force from office they accuse him of manipulating election results 2 years ago and allege his party has links to organized crime albania is scheduled to hold you know simple elections in june. there have been minor clashes in france between police and so-called yellow vests protesters police and used tear gas to disperse some of the crowds grassroots movement h
