mnangagwa has signalled that he is willing to talk.'t, there will be total chaos, bloodshed. so it isn't enough to say there has "only" been, heavily underlined, six deaths. it's possible to talk. there are still six deaths but it could have been worse, a lot of people are saying. what about the outside pressure? it is difficult, presumably, if the result is accepted, it's quite hard for the international community, if there is such a thing these days, to apply anything significant. that's the thing. everyone seems to be quite unsettled. so this is the first elections to be taking place after mugabe, and it all started quite peacefully, on sunday, when i heard that the turnout was huge, 80%. encouraging signs. a good thing, then suddenly we have the troops firing live ammunition on protesters, and of course the scale of six killed is terrible, but we used to have in the hundreds before. but then mdc and chamisa claimed victory so fast and the electoral commission was so slow in giving the results, and you have international observers s

emmerson mnangagwa has the biggestjob of all. film producer, harvey weinstein, is attempting to have criminal charges against him dismissed. his lawyers say evidence was not disclosed, which they say shows he was involved in a long—term relationship with one of the women he's accused of raping. he denies the charges. let's speak to our correspondent paul blake, in new york, for more details. what is the argument that lawyers are making? or a three different parts to this case but the centre of the argument coming out today in reports from the courtroom centre around e—mails that have emerged from the defence that relates to the 2013 alleged rape case. the defence said they show a long—term consensual relationship between harvery weinstein and the woman alleging the assault. the e—mails spanned from weeks after the alleged assault up to four years afterwards, never once relating to the assault. we do not know who the woman is. her identity is the protected in this case. the other two cases, from 2004 and 2006, the lawyers claimed

mr mnangagwa quickly criticised the police's actions.lt. as far as we are concerned, this result is fraudulent, illegal, illegitimate and characterised by serious credibility gaps and some serious credibility gaps and some serious legitimacy issues that we feel must be raised. we must place it on record without equivocation that we won this election, and that because we won this election, we are ready to form the next government, subject to the processes. so in terms of detecting the will of the people, we are not accepting this fiction. we want a proper result to be announced. we will pursue all means necessary, legal and constitutional, to make sure that we protect the people's vote. the people have voted. they have cheated. the people have won. they are subverting that win. we will not allow it and we will not accept. mr mnanagwa said, may you remember your commitment to the liberation ethos of one man, one vote. respect the people. do not usurp power. do not sit on the throne of power without those who empower you, the citizens. a sh

let's start with emmerson mnangagwa describing his elections as a celebration of democracy. tell us more about that line. adrian: to understand the president, you have to understand a little bit of his history. he was actually part of the ruling elite, part of the ruling party of the country for a very long time, the party that ruled the country for 40 years. he has been holding various minister positions under former dictator mugabe, and last year when mugabe was forced to resign he took over and he changed his image completely, portrayed himself as a reformer, open to country to investors, and allowed more freedom of speech. this electoral process for him was another sign that he wanted to give to the world that he is opening up the country. he has been talking about the electoral process that is free and fair, and according to him -- but the reality is not really like this. yes, there has been a tremendous amount of improvement compared to previous elections in zimbabwe, which were not free at all. also a lot of people say there was intimidation here and the process was n

also some interesting analysis about mnangagwa himself. he has gone to great lengths to open up zimbabwe to the world and if he claims victory and then cracked down on the opposition it would undermine his international credibility so it appears his reaction for the moment is to lay low and play for time. google is allegedly censoredg is -- a version of its search engine. >> it's pretty scary. these revelations coming from an investigative website called the intercept that says this search engine would block terms like human rights, peaceful protest and religion. this is a crime to documents procured by the website from a whistleblower. this project has been in the works of probably since last year. obviously the main issue being the implications for internet freedom and freedom of information. one researcher telling the website that it would set a terrible precedent for companies who are trying to do business in the lucrative market that is china and also resist censorship at the same time. >> here in france there are two rappers being qu

no celebrations the morning after an election which declared emmerson mnangagwa leader.ere pockets of disruption. press conference by opposition leader nelson chamisa was interrupted by riot police. mr chamisa was allowed to speak eventually. he claims the election was rigged, and that the results announced by zimba bwe‘s electoral commission do not reflect the will of the people. if you go around the country, you will find that there is no jubilation, no celebration. if anything, today is a day of mourning. mourning over democracy. it is a black day because we are seeing a repeat of what we saw during the regime. very late last night, the electoral commission declared the result. therefore, mnangagwa emerson of zanu—pf party is therefore duly declared elected president of the republic of zimbabwe. this legitimises his position following a military coup that ousted former strong man robert mugabe last november. the ruling zanu—pf party has dismissed allegations of vote—rigging and president mnangagwa has extented an olive branch. to nelson chamisa. i want to say you have

it is president mnangagwa who is in charge.e must hope for a more tolerant politics. it is by no means guaranteed. the stand—off between the new president and opposition seems to be hardening. what is your reading of what could come next? you have two things going on with the opposition talking about taking their concerns over the election and claims of rigging to the courts which will probably happen in the next couple of days and at the same time you have a discussion going on within the movement for democratic for —— democratic movement to change. and to hear nelson chamisa say violence simply was not an option, we are a party of peace, that is a message to people that the opposition will not call supporters onto the streets and risk the violence we saw. there are questions for the president, he has to show the international community in particular he has control of the security forces because the events that took place in the city, that happened last night with soldiers attacking people, they harm massively his attempts to
