Carvery we are in the state of emergency but there are no curfew is in place daily life will go on as usual schools will remain open businesses. Are travel in the country to work from the country will be unimpeded and. Life will go on as usual but. Because of the Supreme Court ruling also on february. And then the constitutional implications that that was the date. We are now a state of. Unrest in terms of how local politics is interacting with the separation of powers and abraham why has the government not released these opposition figures as demanded by the Supreme Court whats the hold up well the Supreme Court in its ruling. Has basically put forward that these figures are to be released and retried so. When you look at it. Its going to be a Legal Process a pretty procedural we have to follow. Terms of their result and. Not all those the figures all those that are mentioned in the ruling are. In the same test so i think category some of those. Have been. Convicted of very few years of stuff not so serious as under. The ruling is basically assembling police to be. Has all the Supreme Court so. Consulted with the Supreme Court for guidance in politics. Its ruling or if this is so if for him you you make it all signed pretty calm you say its business as usual but the pictures reflect a different story and opposition figures say frankly they dont trust the president or what youve just said that this is procedural they see this as an effort to strangle democracy to strangle the judiciary most. You know. Its not. The one they believe may be the number one why arent they convinced about what what is it that theyre seeing that that makes them unconvinced that this is not an effort look this is this this isnt a restriction. That was voted into office. You know the intellectual property of. Those. Those elections as you know we were watering. The. Policy it was not the. Delayed opening of father but it was part of themselves so i think security for. The existing has nothing to do with. The opening of. The. Supreme court ruling. As it was meant to be if you look at the president has written to the. Supreme court again asking for guidance and thats been the prosecutor general our Supreme Court. President himself has declared it going. Along the rulings being given to. No one will significantly. Reduce. The chances. If we hadnt the same shihab there spokesman for the moldavian president joining me there on the line from mali sir thank you. And your own Security Council meeting that was supposed to condemn the reported use of coing gas by the Assad Government in syria has failed to agree on a statement the u. S. Russia for blocking it aljazeera symptomatic editor james these reports now from the United Nations. The attack was brazen and blatant at least eleven people were treated after an airstrike in syria chlorine was probably used this the latest in a series of what seemed to have been Chemical Attacks it led to a war of words in the Security Council a meeting you were not supposed to see this regular monthly session on the issue is usually held behind closed doors but an angry u. S. Ambassador demanded it was made public nikki haley condemned russia for not even agreeing to a press statement on the latest attacks if we cant even take the first step of a stab us in accountability for chemical weapons use we have to seriously ask ourselves why we are here russia which is used its veto to avoid action on this issue was strongly criticized by ambassador hayley and by her french and british colleagues its some bastard of vaseline a benzema hit back for which you didnt statements by these representatives as always contain very little truth mixed with mountains of lies that will do you presume. Where is the presumption of innocence prior to any investigation you were accusing the socalled regime quote unquote. With that point here appeared to make nor clear facts in twenty fifteen the un Security Council unanimously decided to create the joint investigative mechanism or jim to work out exactly who was guilty of chemical weapons use it concluded that in four cases the Assad Government was responsible for using chemical weapons soon afterwards russia used its veto to stop the renewal of the gym leaving the Security Council powerless does it just not highlight the importance of the Security Council i think you are very right with the fact that these the use of chemical weapons continues time and again in syria is a challenge to the very authority of the Security Council. The Security Council continues to talk but on this issue is am able to interact the continuing sporadic Chemical Attacks underlining its weakness and undermining the International Consensus against the use of some of the worlds most hideous weapons james aljazeera of the United Nations a spokesperson for south africas ruling a. N. C. Party says its no closer to deciding whether to remove president jacob zuma well it follows an emergency meeting called to discuss dumas fate earlier scuffles broke out between rival factions of the a. N. C. At the partys headquarters in johannesburg there was under intense pressure to resign after some several run the polls that replaced him as leader of the party while talks that we can fail to secure his departure when peyton is the head of Africa Research at various maple. Thats a global Risk Consultancy and he joins me now benefit one welcome to the Program Great to have your company what are the chances do you think of similar deciding to quit of his own accord well i things in this position is pretty desperate now its quite clear that the leading officials within the a. N. C. Have decided to remove him the question really is whether xeno will go down fighting whether hell continue to resist or whether he might realize perhaps after a vote is taken that is inevitable that hell have to resign and will choose to save some face by going that way for rahm opposed to how much political wisc is there involved in putting energy or weight behind this idea of removing zuma well zuma still has some support particularly in his home province of causality mittal and the a. N. C. Is majority is under some threat at the next elections and twenty nineteen so there are some risks involved with with ousting zuma is possible that some of his supporters might abandon the a. N. C. Next year will defect to the nationalist Opposition Party that being said. I would actually say that leaving zuma in place is a much bigger risk several graham oppose so in this continuing to to cause some chaos with unexpected policy announcements and i think most importantly it will simply look weak if you leave in power what are the actual mechanisms involved here what might we see happen in the coming weeks maybe even months the next step which looks like it may happen on wednesday is that the a. N. C. These National Executive committee will probably hold a vote to recall jacob zuma the same thing which happened in two thousand and eight when tother mbeki was forced to resign that recall vote doesnt have any legal force but he would be very hard for the not to resign after that vase has taken place if he continues to resist then the next step after bout will probably come on looks like the twenty second of february when the opposition have scheduled a vote of no confidence in parliament and a simple majority will be enough for zuma to be removed so it will only take. Even half of the a. N. C. Join with the opposition more comfortably be enough to remove zuma from power what i am opposed to himself and hes got a massive to do list to check off hasnt he and hes been at great pains to say look im the one running the country now but i mean that comes with an extraordinary job sheet of things to correct things to make better it doesnt you know i think if you look ahead to the budget coming up in two weeks time its likely to reveal a host of financial problems for the South African government the deficit is already running around four percent of g. D. P. Some of the state owned utilities particularly ask the electricity utility is in great financial crisis and i think for the sooner the better he can start working on these problems and lets not forget as well as the the Crisis Management he has to do theres also some very serious structural problems of south africa faces and the roman pace of want to get on with dealing with fantastic then payton head of Africa Research their skin and they will cost thanks very much for joining us ben thank you. Now u. S. Stocks have taken a tumble with the Dow Jones Industrial average sliding below twenty five thousand points in raising all of the gains that its made over the past month elizondo is live for us in new york hi there gave so the markets just closed what what caused this drop then. Yeah there were two things that really caused this massive drop and make no mistake about it it was a huge drop just within the last hour of trading or so on the u. S. Stock exchange which closed in the last ten fifteen minutes at one point the dow dropped more than six percent which is absolutely unheard of now close to dropping about four and a half percent or so which is still a huge huge drop for the dow the points loss on the dow was the biggest drop ever that kind of gives you an idea of how bad this was a lot of people watching it very closely two reasons really we think number one is inflationary concerns the jobs reports came out in january stowing that the u. S. Added about two hundred thousand jobs in january and that wages increased about three percent thats all very good for main street usa but not necessarily good for wall street thats where investors are really worried about inflationary concerns and thats why were seeing potentially this big drop also problems in washington d. C. Political uncertainty the markets dont like any uncertainty about political Political Uncertainty particularly is bad particularly with the trumpet ministrations fight back and forth with the f. B. I. And the continuing Russian Investigation lot of Political Uncertainty going on there so the markets basically pulling back a big selloff and basically pulling back from a what a lot of people were considering irrational exuberance over the last year or so that the markets increased so much so this was a very very steep drop make no doubt about it and all the reasons why we wont know yet and probably the next coming days or even weeks to really make sense of it all but clearly inflationary concerns and Political Uncertainty top of the mind right now have we had any response from himself. Well as you might know President Trump likes to pat him self on the back a lot about the Stock Exchange gains that have been made over the last year that hes been president make no mistake about it there have been a lot of gains historic gains as a matter of fact trump was at a vent in Cincinnati Ohio talking to supporters about his tax plan which he helped push through at the end of last year he did not address specifically the dow crash today but he did mention basically saying that the fundamentals of the economy are very good trump mentioning that two point six million jobs have been added to the u. S. Economy since hes been elected president and that unemployment is at the forty five year low thats all true per se but clearly hes been living by this stock market gains talking a lot about it taking responsibility for it but now were seeing this huge drop and he at least so far hasnt directly addressed it one of his spokespeople on air force one on the way to cincinnati did say that the fundamentals of the u. S. Economy remain strong. There live thanks well thats much more still to come on the. Only surviving suspect from the twenty fifth paris attack appears in court in belgium and he says he wont answer any questions.

Up to slum told the judge i do not wish to respond to any questions i defend myself by keeping silent muslims are judged and treated without pity there is no presumption of innocence outside the courtroom his lawyer refused to comment on his clients decision and the reality alternate of the mackillop to say is that we talked about procedural problems the fact that there are new civil parties and what is feelings were all about this.

Philippine says it will keep close ties with china despite reports that chinas not nearly finished Building Military installations on the district especially islands in the South China Sea well photos released by the philippine inquirer show that china has built naval docks runways Wind Turbines and several multistory buildings to mean islands ogun reports. These are aerial photographs of detained by the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper it shows that china will soon finish its military zation of seven reefs in the South China Sea an International Tribunal in the hague in two thousand and sixteen rejected chinas argument that it enjoys historic rights over most of the South China Sea but the pictures clearly show that china has built a massive runway on Mischief Reef which the tribe you know ruled it was in philippine waters including control towers and radio meters often used in milledge communication small the reefs now have Wind Turbines halla pads and observation towers transport ships designed to carry are more details and up to eight hundred troops have also been spotted according to Security Experts three of these reefs now have three kilometer long runways making them as effective as aircraft carriers china has also built a harbor facilities extending the reach of its maritime assets not only in the South China Sea but also the Central Pacific i dont think the philippines can do anything about it from the Military Point of view the least the government should do is to ask the government to try the what are their intentions on the South China Sea the Philippine Government this misses this and blames the previouS Administration so what we want us to see all that we could do is to extract a promise from china and not to reclaim any new artificial islands. But what you feature in your dues people to be are old ripley islands that were there even before the detail of the administration came to office but these photos are believed to have been taken between june and december last year under president reagan due to his watch it also betrays their world to the government itself house nor coherent policy of incomes to the west for the princes sultriness the issue and that can only be the advantage of the chinese who will then use this situation president to there to insists china should still be the country strongest ally he calls it an independent Foreign Policy veering away from the United States while trying to build closer relations with china and russia Security Experts say there appears to be little that the philippines or any other country can do to stop china from its military zation and that the Philippine Government silence on the issue is enabling chinas expansionist ambitions in the South China Sea endangering not only its own sovereignty but also the security of its allies in the pacific similarly in dog and aljazeera manila the dispute over the islands inside china sea is a pretty complicated saga well were going to try and break it down with this map its parasail and spot the islands of the scarborough shore of the islands that are just speech said vietnam malaysia the philippines taiwan and china all have overlapping claims to the areas an estimated three trillion dollars worth of trade passes through the region and its also believed to contain oil and gas reserves well william j. Park of the third is the chief operating officer at the East West Institute which specializes in conflict prevention and resolution joins me now live from new york a very warm welcome to the program william thanks very much for being with us just how concerning is this militarized kind of build up in the area. Julie it is concerning its concerning because as you look at the economy as you look at the fact that about ninety percent of the worlds goods are moved by ship over the Global Commons of the sea and in fact this portion of the world has a significant portion of that moment that is a very big concern for me you have to remember that the Un Convention a lot of the sea treaty specifically states that these twelve nautical mile standoff for territorial seas and two hundred nautical miles easys do not apply when youre talking about a manmade island which is what this is so maybe a broader question to ask would be what is chinas intent here is china attempting to revert back to the ancient chinese preeminence of the middle kingdom what impact is china intend to have one regional nations does the nine dash line align with legal limits of easys as weve talked about and will the chinese adhere to the july two thousand and sixteen Permanent Court or an arbitration in the hague at the philippines these are the time it seems to be business as usual but there are very real implications for them and the other countries involved in this too. Well theres absolutely huge implications here so i completely agree with you julie and in particular when you look at the Permanent Court of arbitration and what they came up with the historic rights and the nine dash line in particular they looked at that in the tribunals concluded that there is no legal basis for china to claim historic rights of the resources or the real estate here because real estate doesnt actually exist because this land was created before it was a low or low mean tide secondly the tribunal noted that the recent been heavily modified and reclaimed thirdly they talk about the lawfulness of the chinese actions and have found that certain areas are well within the easy the exclusive Economic Zone in particular of the philippines and finally they have seen a Significant Impact harmful impact in the environment so this is a really big deal what by us in savan sin at what are your thoughts well my thoughts are this that the United States and many other countries have a right to support freedom of navigation and should continue to do so and will continue to do so because this does not apply this manmade island does not apply to the two un closs it does not apply to International Rules of the road for that matter and so in reality you will still continue to see operations of ships like the u. S. S. Hopper and others i believe will continue to operate in that area because its our right and its the right of other sovereign countries to operate in that area as well because it is in Fact International waters. William just joining me scuse me sex life there from new york thanks very much for joining us. Now despite the ongoing violence in Syria International aid agencies say hundreds of thousands of displaced syrians are at risk of being forced to return to their homes in fact a joint report by six leading agency says neighboring countries as well as european and u. S. Governments putting pressure on refugees to go back home in a hot air has more now from the bekaa valley. Is the sheriff says some of his family members were killed in the war in neighboring syria he has also lost contact with others who have been displaced lebanon has been his home for six years he is from the opposition held province of idlib and for him going back is not an option. We want to save zone to return to otherwise where do they want us to go back to do they want us to die if we go back will be able to theres nowhere safe theres only death. It live is a deescalation zone there is supposed to be a ceasefire here instead civilians are being killed in almost daily airstrikes by syrian and russian planes humanitarian agencies say the violence in some parts of syria means its still not safe for refugees to return they are warning governments in europe the United States and the region not to force them back we the humanitarian organizations that are on the ground in syria and in the neighboring countries we call this report dangerous grounds for the simple reason that these women children and men have to be informed of the conditions and we have to assure that it is done and teary when they go back and then we have to assist and protect the return. The u. N. Doesnt have exact numbers but the figures available show some seventy thousand refugees returned on their own from neighboring countries last year but aid agencies say for every return there were three more youll be displaced because of the violence since mid december more than two hundred thousand people had to leave their homes because of fighting in the southern edges of province. Government forces control the main cities theyve recaptured a lot of territory from the opposition has been pushed out of many areas and there are local cease fire agreements in place but the picture is misleading there are many areas where fighting continues its not just safety there is widespread destruction there are few civilian facilities left of hospitals have been hit mass returns cant be sustainable if these people cant find jobs and if there is no health care or schools. There are no proper Living Conditions imagine if i need to take my children to a doctor there are no Health Centers there is no life there im afraid of the day when they kick us out of here lebanons government says there will be no forced returns and any returns will be coordinated with the United Nations but refugees here are still worried so are aid agencies that is why they are warning no one should be forced back to syria without a plan that takes into account their safety and well being.
