so what did we learn from jacob zuma stay at the commission of inquiry today. well he basically did what many observers expected him to do he basically portrayed himself as a victim of the big conspiracy theory against him and this is also what a lot of his supporters away here were telling me earlier saying it's a media conspiracy there's nothing there's no evidence what so ever but the facts are basically looking a little bit the other way there's been several witnesses before that talking to the commission saying yes pointing the finger and basically for full wrongdoing in several cases so it's going to be quite exciting days ahead so there will be cross examinations in the next days and we will see. them because many people have the feeling he doesn't take things very serious and he doesn't feel responsible for anything he doesn't feel accountable for anything and this is actually the impression people had over the last years of jacob zuma remember these corruption allegations have been swirling around him for a very long time several corruption allegations

in women's was, history, we found this unique experience of harriet and jacobs, a slave who was being sexually abused, who hid in her grandmother's attic for seven years in the dark, with cold, heat, rats, bugs, roaches, and she couldn't even see her children, either, which is very heartbreaking. you know, those are your children, and you can't see them, can't let them know anything. >> and once we found out we were doing this topic, we found an autobiography written by her, and that really gave us insight on her life and helped us to write a script, because it put us in her position, so we could really feel all the emotion she was going through at that time. >> do you learn stories like this in school? >> no. not at all. that is why this was a fascinating story. we never had one like it before. >> and she is so unique. learning to read and write from age six, taking that and becoming completely knowledgeable. like, we were reading the letters between her and the person who edited her book, ms. marie childs, i think. >> and amy post. >> talking about how harriet ann jacobs was so well

harriet ann jacobs constantly suffered from sexual harassment and lived in fear of what her master would do to her, until she escaped from her plantation. when she escaped, she hid in her grandmother's attic where she lived in fear for seven years. >> i was born in a slave family, and for me it was bleak. but i never would have imagined my children would face such misery. i started to feel i couldn't move on. my parents died, and i was assaulted and abused by my master. at this point, my life is a real disaster. i turn 15, semi master decided to take my purity, whispering things in my ear that no innocent girl should ever have to hear. >> in 1813, harriet ann jacobs was born to slave parents in edison, north carolina. she was so sheltered as a child, she didn't realize she was a slave until she was six years old. now 12 years old, harriet was passed on to her mistress's niece. when harriet finally turned 15, they started sexual harassing her and commanded to belong to him in every way, shape and form. >> harriet -- >> master, i am not ready, i don't know what you want me to do. >> [inaud

jacob: we would -- david: we welcome jacob kierkegaard, peterson institute senior fellow.ou heard, and it was not meant as a criticism, that we know christine lagarde is not a trained economist. she was trained as a lawyer and than she was finance minister in a critical time for france. an ecb president more political and more involved in communications? .acob: honestly, yes we need to recognize that mario draghi is going to launch another monetary stimulus package in the coming months and in doing so, in my opinion, more or less emptied the toolkit for the incoming president. this means the most important political -- the most important goal for the next ecb president is communication and a political ability to convince other euro area politicians to be more aggressive on fiscal stimulus. when or if -- when the next downturn in the euro area arrives. i think resting lagarde is among the best feasible candidates for that job. david: for those of is not as steep as you are in the structure of the government of the eu, help us. is it a done deal that she will be president? i

all those of us who have been watching jacob zuma in action for over 20 years will know that this is typical zuma this is from his filibustering playbook what he likes to do is play cat and mouse these kinds of inquiries he tries to exercise whatever leverage he can over process in order to gain political and legal advantage he came to the commission voluntarily this week he spoke at great length of this week about international campaign to assassinate him to remove him from power it is a level best to deflect attention from the real purpose of the inquiry which is to focus on his and his cronies efforts to steal state institutions state capture we call it over recent years when he was in power today he threatened to walk out his lawyers said there was an abuse of process they said the questions that were being put to him by the inquiry were unfair because he was being cross-examined many south africans including lawyers might like myself would say well that's the purpose of an inquiry it is to test the evidence it is to put to difficult questions to people when as i know our preside
