Nearly two weeks is the military takeover zimbabwes Security Forces say the situation is getting back to normal the police who havent been seen on the streets of a rally for days. For now that means doing joint patrols with soldiers to try and maintain law and order Law Enforcement agents are already receiving reports of looting and illegal immigration and other peoples property but security firms in houses. It is criminal in the spirit of man. And it will be made by people of the law the announcement comes days after innocence and i got what the new president urged citizens not to take matters into their own hands by punishing allies of the former president Robert Mugabe there are reports that Robert Mugabe and his wife grace have been given immunity from prosecution the police wont say how many of mugabes allies have been arrested so the most high profile is a gracious the former finance minister hes accused of corruption going back at least ten years. Some say selective punishment could be a sign not much is going to change under the new administration we might have had one person removed but the higher of the new peers remains in place so for me the more things change the more they remain the same and you know if im against you and i think you are challenging me. You become fair game in human rights abuses the high court recently ruled the military takeover which eventually saw Robert Mugabe resign was lawful zimbabweans who were tired of having macabre as their leader for thirty seven years have welcomed the courts decision.

Call has condemned frances colonial past he says he wants to end sixty years of french influence over its former colonies where self interest was the guiding principle. Former president Jacques Chirac embodied the neo colonial approach that became known as far south lake Nicolas Sarkozy had little time for africa in a controversial speech in dhaka he said africans had failed to enter the history books. It was under Francois Hollande that the syal region became a new frontier in what he called frances fight against terror. The french have no desire to remain here in mali because it must be the malayan for themselves and africans who ensure the security the independence of the sovereignty of mali thats how i understand relations between france and africa. When it comes to africa has had some false starts he was criticized for saying africa was being held back by women having too many children and for a plan to place french Immigration Processing Centers in some african countries. Like every new president. Into the old french African Networks of faith his but in the end most president s interrupt keeping the status quo and they criticized for that. Matter has chosen to start his four day trip to west africa with a speech to students at work or Duke University he says its Young Africans who carry the hopes of tomorrow and this falls as young as president he may just be the one to convince them that he means what he says its all just what. The u. S. President donald trump has raised eyebrows again after using a racial slur at a white house event he called it democratic senator pocahontas during a ceremony honoring native American Veterans of the second christianson in the explains why some found his remarks offensive. The event was to honor native American Veterans but President Donald Trump couldnt resist the opportunity to criticize a political rival use the name of a native American Hero in front of a portrait of president Andrew Jackson who is known for forcefully removing natives from their Ancestral Lands no less in a way that was not meant as a complement thank you because youre very very special people youre here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago they call or pocahontas its a name he first used on the campaign trail and polka dot this is not happy she got to refer to the democratic senator and staunch trump critic Elizabeth Warren the senator whos claimed native american ancestry was quick to respond it is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a way for the president s spokesperson said there was nothing offensive about it you know most people find offensive center warrant a line about her heritage to advance her career but native groups such as the National Congress of American Indians have expressed outrage at the president s use of the name pocahontas before and again called it a slur that denigrates her legacy and i think her native women who remain and i think the guy. One of the name one of the stories of our women in a race in a story but using her name a pejorative term only helps to concur the extra high level of violence we have against nato bombing today you know the controversy overshadowed recognition of the veterans who use the navajo language to transmit secret messages during World War Two sending what some insist is a message of disrespect kristen salumi aljazeera the german chancellor Angela Merkel will hold talks with the social democrats in an effort to form a government despite her Party Winning the most seats in september election michael hasnt been able to form a Coalition Government has yet to make a reports now from that. For the past two months martin short his position had been unequivocal defeat as badly as his party suffered in september meant opposition was the only thing they could enter into in this parliament but with changing times so his opinion has changed the failure of the Jamaica Coalition talks thrust his party back into the limelight could they consider talking during the americans government Government Party could they consider four more years in government until now apparently not but after a statement to reporters just a short his opinion has changed so it should discussions lead to us helping to form a government in whatever form our Party Members will be able to vote on that the coming days and weeks will demand much from all those involved in our party in the media and the public were entering into discussions with outcome its not known no options are off the table the point to make here is the danger that faces the social democrats because they were widely perceived to have lost voters in the last election precisely because of their membership of a grand coalition with Angela Merkel how might they look upon another grand coalition and then from the conservative point of view angle in merkel says she is now prepared for another grand coalition but the big imponderable what will the voters make of this what will they make of yet more grand coalition and given the fact that both parties were punished at the polls the last time voters got their chance to express their opinions britains prince harry and his fiance the us actress megan markel have given the first t.

Of course its disheartening you know its. Its a shame that that is the climate in this world to focus that much on that or that that would be discriminatory in that sense but i think you know the end of the day im really just proud of who i am and where i come from and we have never put any focus on that weve just focused on who we are as a couple and so when you take all those extra layers away and all of that noise. I think it makes it really easy to just enjoy being together and to know all the rest of that out.
