in zimbabwe after the last elections were won, investors remain we're.e believe mugabe's politics may not influence too. >> it's certainly not, you know, a shining light of how to do things, if you like, which is what you would hope for in a leader of a regional bloc. so, i think it will in some ways stall some of the discussions but the truth is that most of these issues around the integration agenda, can you be driven by the rest of the incidents. >> victoria falls will thunder in the background as they meet at the premier tourist resort. the millions of people they represent will be hoping their concerns aren't drowned out by the noise. tania page, south africa. >> the john boehner i can't believe army said it mated a major breakthrough in the 4-month fight against separatists in the east. it says it has retaken the suburb near the border with russia but it's reported one of the fighter jets was shot down after the advance. the military says it is now ready to push even deeper into luhansk after weeks of fighting on the outskirts. there has been heavy

yet president obama took a special time with a zimbabwe entrepreneur. why? >> again, i think the message here is we are interested in africa's future. we are interested in building economic ties, trade and investment in africa. and aren't necessarily focused on interactions directly with the heads of state. we are happy to build commercial ties and trade ties with africans on the ground, african entrepreneurs, which is consistent with the message that the administration is trying to put out there. >> chris johnson of howard university, thank you for being here. >> thank you. >>> next on "america tonight" - wealth versus worries. in energy-rich texas, a community stands against new drilling. >> what will happen if the well explodes? you live in a state of terror, because you have no idea what they are doing. they don't tell you. i bought an explosive gas monitor and a carbon monoxide detector because you don't know what will happen. >> that's next. and next time, toledo, ohio, left without drinking water for days. scientists say we should expect worse ahead.

the administration refuses to have more targeted sanctions with russia or zimbabwe aarhus sudan or belarus it believes doing so would unnecessarily hinder to conduct foreign policy. it will not list the world's most prolific money launderer to as the country apart wray money-laundering concerns and the current policy does nothing to help the people. i remain disappointed so little has been done to hold the kim regime responsible for the terrific human rights abuses detailed in the commission for inquiry. north korea is the grave threat to our allies in asia we cannot wait for them to decide if they want to negotiate. non-nuclear number three is the elusive goal if the administration maintains the current strategic trajectory. the kim regime is responsible for the horrific deaths of people not only within north korea but around the world. this time deeper resources together and act. rewarding them for reversible steps that it will help denuclearization has failed before so let's not by the same horse twice for a pilot for to hearing from witnesses i will now yield to the ranking member. me
