african is about congress, and i'm happy that really. yeah. because he's the one that spoke up all the fighting for the soul of the african national congress that we can. there's 210 and 9 years old and the african, there's not congress we've been that period of that time has had challenges that right has made it to be strong. i think that there isn't which is split, but obviously those will be like they can agree with the principles with a founding document of the african this progress, maybe there was decided to go somewhere else. but this article missed on august has survived those that i did that they bought 2 very different visions on what happened, speak to the unity of the answer going forward. and we, we thank both i guess for that let me try and bring in. now if i can wanda way and asked the question, you know, whatever the degree of intensity that emerges now, whether finalize is in a split within the a see or not has the violence demonstrated how when in trend some of the elements, i don't want again to reduce this to pro zoom as i'm trying to find another way of putting this is some of the islands which are not entirely happy with a

as you say yourself, the south african national, the african national congress has been in power in south africa for 30 years. and they came with those promises of addressing poverty and inequality which they haven't done apartheid ended 30 years ago. why is it that 30 is on? we're still talking about this today. when positive did end in 1994, technically speaking. but in fact, if you come to south africa, you'll see that spatial apartheid is very much alive and well. the privatization of housing, privatization of health care, education, infrastructure access, it's very much alive. so the inability to undo the effect, the structural inequality that was put in place by apartheid risk firmly. and that the government to be frank, the society, the why does society bill also has a responsibility to impact push, monitor and ensure that the changes that are necessary to restore the human dignity of the people who are now looting in the malls in the shops in the in the warehouses is back within cheap, but this is still very much a work in progress. but the sense of isolation is what has led to th

the african national congress has been in power for 30 years,. and they came with those promises of addressing poverty and inequality. apartheid ended 30 years ago. >> apartheid ended in 1994 technically speaking. but you will see that special apartheid is alive and well. privatization of housing, health care. education, infrastructure access. the inability to undo the structural inequality that was put in place by apartheid rests firmly in the hands of government. society. they also have a responsibility to push, monitor and ensure changes that are necessary to restore human dignity of the people who are now booting in the malls, the shops and warehouses. this is still a work in progress. the sense of isolation is what has led to the deprivation. this is not an excuse for criminality, but if we take a criminal militarized police approach to this issue, we fail to understand the underlying social and economic drivers and traumatic dimensions of what is causing the uprising we see at the moment. that would be an incomplete analysis and the to an i

they are members of the african national congress who support him. and of course, people in candler with, from who say that this is the people's president, they say their father won't be sent to jail. they say that they'll be here to protect him. no matter what it takes, the military veterans of the doing of the african national congress and menu i suppose, would argue just how relevant they might be able to be coming out here. they say, to protect the president, they say they'll do whatever is necessary. there was to take a step back and be some days to say, well within the bounds of the law. so it is difficult to see what might happen in the coming days. we do know that top leadership from the african national congress is at his residence to meet him. we haven't had confirmation that he is in fact, yet in canada because we know he's also been in the meeting with his lawyers. but we've seen this push from the a and see to talk to him, perhaps compel him, turned himself over because they all concerns around tensions. and what people might do to prote

they also, members of the african national congress is a military association which has been disbanded. they are still standing guard outside the former president's house. but we've also seen the african national congress try to manage this situation as far as they possibly can of suspended the spokes person of that association. they say for inflammatory remarks may need in the last couple of days. and it's because it's people like that to have said that they prepared to go to wal, they'll be a blood boss if the former president is arrested. now in the last few minutes, we've also had a statement come out from the former president's foundation, saying they're concerned by developments that they're speaking to zoom, a legal team, and they're going to speak to media at some points about the way forwards. now, all right, thanks so much for me. the miller, a base fused by us troops in iraq has been attacked. at least 14 rockets landed on the asset base and another bar province. 3 missiles were also fired towards this. on monday, us president joe biden ordered air strikes against the wrong

president of the country and as the president of the country and as the president of the african national congressy the threat from three respiratory viruses, including covid. a report from the academy of medical sciences says action is needed now to prevent that and calls for extra staff and capacity in the health service. here s our health correspondent catherine burns. empty streets and deserted stations — lockdown was our first defence in the pandemic, as people stayed at home to stop covid spreading. at the same time, it prevented us catching other viruses, too. but as we�*re about to ease into something closer to life as normal, researchers are worried that we could see a resurgence in flu cases this winter. a reasonable worst case scenario would be about two times more cases than normal — enough to potentially see tens of thousands of extra deaths. they�*re also concerned that the burden from rsv, another virus that often affects children and the elderly, could double too. winter is always a pressurised time for the nhs, and that�*s before considering covid and the record backlog of patient

the african national congress, given serial rema posts as background as an anti apartheid activist. you wouldn't really link the changes in power with race and plus, the former leader has been embroiled and corruption control overseas for almost 2 decades now. but the mere fact that jacob zoom out, spent years behind the same bars as nelson mandela, and that he's being jailed is an enormous trigger for the poor and his home province and elsewhere. when you start, if you pose beloved president. so my, then the people on the street and demonstrating the foundation is see the end of the pupil in case that then in a way and intensifying the anger and divisions, speaking of extra fuel to the fire. think of what kind of message this video posted by jacob's with daughter would send to the st. opponents of the leadership which took over a video of shots being fired at the face of president rama post. now unfortunately for the government, there are other more obvious routes of the unrest like low income levels and record high unemployment. almost exactly a 3rd of the country's workforce is u

of time but, but, but in a nutshell, i mean the actual divide is with a ruling party, the african national congress, a party of nelson mandela, which is very topic because yesterday was international mandela day. once again, it's, he's party that appears to be what appears is divided and as a result of these party being divided with the encumbered president and the full of president and all supporters between the 2 and the ruling party, then as an inability to lead effectively this has been going on for over a decade and that played out with the rest of the former president, put the russian, but in fact will contend to court. the collection case is still going to be heard right and protest against him being arrested. the 1st president arrested in a democratic south africa and the protest and spoke of interest. something else now read it is whether people opportunistic because of a poverty stricken. and it took advantage of the situation, or whether the site could, i don't really know the president of the country upfront, saying that there was a clear attempt was he call it in. so actually it was pl

we've seen also the people who are members of the african national congress. we've also seen, i'm opposed to all of you know why we as of from the say we come out to protect the former president. so here comes the president, the former president as well liked and supported people have said that they both accept his race, but generally across of africa that has been mixed reaction. if it's very important for me to feel that because that the constitutional court, that the court in general be respected. and there was a lot of criticism around the form of presidents action, his behavior in not cooperating. they're also people that say that this is a long time coming in that the former president is also child of corruption separately from the corruption inquiry. he's facing a separate trial. he's due to return to court, also in the middle. well, thereabouts of july. that trial began about a month ago. so this, this isn't the end of the road in terms of the legal difficulties that the whole, the president is facing. south africans, on whatever side of the line they
