There that is good or live on air were streaming online through you tube Facebook Live and that aljazeera dot com thanks for joining us so a new president for south Africa Cyril Ramaphosa takes charge after much drama as well as defiance by the man who held the post for nine years from a post so was elected leader of the governing a. N. C. Party back in december replacing jacob zuma who resigned on wednesday zuma had faced years if allegations of corruption and only stepped down after intense pressure from his party well ahead of from a post as appointments more drama played out in parliament the far left Economic Freedom fighters party staged a walkout the leader there he is Julius Malema said his party would not take part in the election off the new president s matheson is live for us in Johannesburg South korea saying it was a lively debate that took place and in parliament but just look ahead for us for a moment rob because we understand the new president is going to be sworn in in this hour. Thats right its going to take place in a building called the tane hayes here in johannesburg and thats more of just a formality the Main Business of the day the creation of sit around the forza as the president elect of south africa happened in the National Assembly a few hours ago so all that there is going to happen at the dinner he said basically a rubber stamp if you like of the fact that he was now the president the fifth democratically elected president of south africa when that announcement was made in the National Assembly a few hours ago there was dancing and singing and cheering amongst many of the parliamentarians and when settled on the forza spoke to south africa for the first time as its president elect he said he was going to do the job with the to the best of his ability he was going to do it with humility faithfulness and with dignity and he also said that one of the first things that he planned to do was pull together all the opposition parties to try to discuss the best way of moving south africa forward from the zuma ministration and at that point i think we began to see evidence of the first hurdle that settled on a force that is going to face as president of south africa several of the democrats several of the opposition parties stood up and said that they welcome the fact that his he had no been created given this post but the problem was not with the opposition parties they said the problem lay within the a. N. C. The opposition parties were saying that they had been telling the ramaphosa and others that the a n c was the problem for ten years they had been warning about jacob zuma was spending allegations of fraud and the controller say that have been surrounding him and his administration for ten years whilst several ramaphosa had been zoomers deputy they said during that time absolutely nothing had been done they had. Motions to try to to oust is zuma and the a. N. C. Have blocked it so its very obvious that ramaphosa has got a big job on his hands to put to persuade people not only that in the opposition that he is determined to move south africa forward and to be transparent in his dealings but he also has a very big job where he has to come to deal with the corruption issues that were faced in the air and sea and he addressed the subject when he was making his speech the issues that you have raised issues that have to do with corruption issues of how we can straighten out our state owned enterprises and how we do with state kept. Issues that are on i want to be discreet those are issues that were going to be addressing and tomorrow we will also have an opportunity to outline some of the steps that we are going to be taking pretty astounding rob the just this is all taking place in less than twenty four hours since jacob zuma resigned what is the mood like there. Generally speaking the mood seems to be very positive there are people of course who are supporters of jacob zuma who believe he should not step down at least he should have been allowed to carry on until the full length of his term generally speaking in the time that ive been here in johannesburg and speaking to a few people it sounds very much though as though this is regarded as a very positive step but of course one of the phrases that was regularly used to me when i was talking to people is time will tell ok rob matheson reporting from johannesburg thank you well several rounds of posts i will face a range of challenges as rob was saying including high unemployment and widespread violence on the streets he also has to face the people in just one year with elections set for twenty one thousand election obrien has more of the republic of south africa. Before becoming the new leader of south Africa Cyril Ramaphosa was seen as the chief negotiator in the final days of jacob zuma as presidency he was elected president of the governing African National congress in december by a slim margin after work to unite his divided party hell also have to repair the political and economic damage suffered under zuma and improve the partys image after years of allegations of corruption. So the reporter is a different kind of president to anything weve had before this is a modernist this is somebody hes a negotiator hes a reconsolidate as well but heres a man of a very clear determined purpose he has stuck with jacob zuma for how many years sitting by as zuma embarrassed the country embarrassed himself and thats. Going along with what had happened in south africa has given the impression that. I dont think he is. But rahm opposer remains tainted by criticism over his involvement in american a killing in which police shot and killed thirty four striking miners six years ago as a board member of one of the Largest Mining Companies in south africa at the time ram opposer was accused of being behind the governments decision to break the strike he later apologized saying he had stepped in to prevent further deaths. As a politician turned businessman rahm opposer enjoys the confidence of the Financial Sector and unemployment rose the current c. N. N. Faced a confidence weakened and the countrys Credit Rating went down south africas new leader has said he plans to create jobs and a season Economic Growth target of three percent for this year thats more than double the right predicted by the International Monetary fund during the last election support for the a. N. C. Fell to sixty two percent many hope the posse of Nelson Mandela will be able to reverse this trained under the leadership of rahm opposer alexia brian al jazeera. Lets bring in our social media producer anderson poets a conversation online to the story well theres a lot of people that weve been talking about talking to rather over the past few days weve been speaking to many South Africans across the country and theres weve seen a lot of hashtags really focused on jacob zuma celebrating the fact that hes left office and its really came as a relief now lets take a listen to some of our viewers to see what they had to say basically. Mum did that in the c. E. Needs elective conferences taken. Economy transformation what the new president needs to do to make sure that it tickled that the most important thing which is unemployment you know weve got so many youth sitting with diplomas to greece qualifications you know and im employed what i look forward to seeing with the change of the Union Presidency from two clubs a lot to sort of opposing is that really in statement of the integrity of the state of key institutions such as our Revenue Services all persecuted prosecute to authority and our Financial Sector now many agree that fighting corruption turning around the economy and ensuring Free Education are very important things but others say everyone who collaborated with the former president must also resign heres why now that jacob zuma has resigned and if the office is basically just get rid of all the people that shouldnt get golden handshake with him all of that apples and they should leave and. Resign office to once this happens i think our economy will strengthen and that will lead to job creation and this will also lead to Better Things in south africa if we have better confidence in our leaders and well be able to trust them more and with everything thats happened over the past few years we wanted to know how south South Africans see their country the countrys future moving ahead take a listen. The future of south africa is extremely extremely bright i think that this event shows that corruption will not go without being checked and as ordinary South Africans we really just need to learn to be more accountable to ourselves and to our leaders just our community we cannot allow for corruption to become a culture in our country and as people we just need to consistently crack down on it and have a zero tolerance for it i think thats what we can do and if we continue to do that our countrys potential is just skyrocket through the roof now are you in south africa then we want to hear from you do get in touch with us using the hash tag eighteen is good and to thank you well Chris Landsberg is the chairman of the african diplomacy and Foreign Policy with the university of johannesburg is joining us now from there thanks for speaking to us on the news grid so is that ramaphosa the man to speak to all constituencies unite them all. Well i mean after all that easy style. Of unease and i dont mean it in a derogatory sense you know theres something trump ian about him in the sense that hes a transactional leader he loves to negotiate hes very comfortable negotiating i go and i can almost see him reaching out and doing well on on on the first school where the on the other hand hes able to face three members tasks to mention by a correspondent. Of the one hes get all the opposition on the side and make promises to them. Address the issue of corruption but above all else how does this man go and bowl together a deeply fractious i see because i dont think weve seen the aftermath yet all the recall of jacob zuma i said i believe that zuma is basically going to not tell theres a bit of anger there and whether sort of a pause of good will to do all of these things remains to be seen whether there is an election for the a. N. C. Is popularity which has been dented over the past i said a few years under jacob zuma. But absolutely and and theres also a view for example that he was very quiet while nine. Eight motions of no confidence will pass against president zuma theres a sense in which they all stood idly by maybe even condoned it in the mains a popular man but man i just think of this honeymoon that he finds himself in right now is going to be a very short lived honeymoon and then its going to be tested. Let me ask you this in fact this is one of our questions coming on it coming into us on our facebook see the revolution this viewer saying the revolution for change is going across africa with south africa ethiopia he is referring to the resignation of the Prime Minister that just happened earlier today and there was more to come do you share this point of view well i mean whether it is all of a whether its a revolution is another matter but there certainly is a confluence of events throughout the continent and certainly in Southern Africa just look at the ball to suspend him bob were just five months ago Robert Mugabe was in charge he is no more we just saw the sub and said death of Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai theres the rumblings in mozambique there are issues. You know of a changes in south africa so the certainly a confluence of tumultuous events but whether they all want to certainly end up in a positive direction remains to be seen how i have my doubts some will some wont ok very good to get your thoughts thank you for joining us from johannesburg itself and we will take you to cape town now thats where the south africas newly elected president Cyril Ramaphosa is being sworn in lets Listen Program director general in the presidency dr livesey.

Now staying in the continent and ethiopias Prime Minister highly disciplined has suddenly resigned in a televised address he said that his resignation was important to carry out reforms and he wants to be part of the solution if you see months of antigovernment protests in which hundreds of people have been killed and thousands detained but in recent weeks the government did release more than six thousand opposition figures and journalists how the merriam took office in twenty twelve of those joining us here in the studio to talk about this resignation was it a surprise or what is expect was that expected. Well that in from the moment tyler made him descend into power in two thousand and twelve september this movement has always been on the cards he was largely seen as a please hold consensus figure of sorts to replace former Prime Minister. Melissa now he who died in august two thousand and twelve we of course is the month seen as a protector of ethiopias boom and must have developed a project now i remember silent comes from the southern part of the country from realty obscurities and the demick was an academic then joined regional politics and rules to become the president of the Southern State and then was topped by militias and how he when he wanted to bring in technocrats into the government and appointed him foreign minister and his deputy. At the time when people say melissa now himself was very much aware of his health condition. So his little been seen as a consensus figure but he was not meant to last on the job but the riots and the unrest because gripped the country for the past three years of history in the modern descendents departure ok thank you for giving us that update and you can take a look at this page on our website aljazeera dot com constantly updated on the Prime Ministers resignation and if you scroll all the way down you see this video right there Martin Dennis sat down with the Prime Minister on our program talked to al jazeera that was back in twenty fifteen it was an interesting discussion which you can watch online at aljazeera dot com. To lebanon the latest stop in a tour of the middle east by the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson so he took the opportunity both to pledge his countrys commitment to lebanon and to war and the lebanese leadership that hezbollahs continued influence in the region was itself a threat to Lebanon Security so to listen made the comments off to a meeting with the lebanese president michel all in and the Prime Minister sided heidi both leaders spoke of the need to maintain calm on lebanons southern border with israel who want to move to a state of permanent ceasefire but israel daily violation of our sovereignty in the process as does israel is collating and rhetoric this needs to stop lebanons southern border is the calmest border in the middle east and i Security Service and to help keep it that way lets put this in perspective and speak to. Me hes the director of communications at the Carnegie Middle East Center in beirut and that is where hes joining us from thanks for speaking to us what was the takeaway message for you from tillerson visit to beirut his meetings as well as that press conference that he held with saddam heidi. Yes i mean the he calmed down fears in beirut of potential cut down of all u. S. Support to the lebanese as you sions and there has been lots of talk about sort of making hezbollah equal or equivalent to lebanons a students including the army of the bodys own forces this has been how these have been happening in white wing circles around the u. S. Administration so there are some basically calm down these fears and and now he has we have the u. S. Position vis a vis supporting the live in the state as you sions including the especially the Lebanese Armed forces which United States have been backing. And the past in the past phase so this this is a we are for nation of the u. S. Position on on these issues and at the same time its also a sort of an acknowledgment that. The United States sees these two entities are separate and basically also calming down the fears of the lebanese Financial Sector which has been very wary of u. S. Sanctions against hezbollah and individuals associated with the party. And really to what extent would this expand then affect the lebanese economy and when it comes to two recent issues that lebanon is facing and those are maritime border disputes with israel the land and water territorial disputes that are currently going on the lebanon get what it wanted from there that it get any reinsurance reassurances from the secretary of state that it was probably looking for. Simply no i mean listen said i cant you know i cant resolve this issue personally i dont know if there was some basically under the table in negotiations on that issue but it was clear in the press conference that he doesnt have anything new on this issue and at the same time it seems to be a delayed issue with the eight hundred kilometers and block nine which has been recently signed as you know this part of an agreement with a. Consortium of companies so this is delayed for year or two so lebanon has time to negotiate any any deal on these disputed territories but you know much much backward lebanese officials are giving here and so this secretary of state himself seeing as theres been a general feeling that lebanese ministers are all on the same page and theyve taken a unified stance when it comes to the u. S. Is attempted mediation offer when it comes to the water dispute thats a lebanon says lot acceptable yeah i mean the the u. S. And u. S. Offer to mediate has not been accepted at the same time given the recent Jerusalem Move i dont think anyone wants to you know many a thing any dispute of the israelis given how far theyve gone with their pro israel stance as the state so i you know i think everyone is on the same page on this issue but at the same time there are also fears regarding the war on the border which is another major disputed matter and this is something that the Prime Minister has been trying to get some reassurance as well from the u. S. Secretary of state regarding the u. S. Trying to calm down the israeli push to install this wall or over disputed territories between both countries on the southern border ok either we thank you for speaking to us from beirut. Youve been looking at the issue of the border disputes the conversation online andrew. Well you can see that israels leviathan fields here on this method of about show you this is on our web site al jazeera dot com and the yellow part is the area that lebanon is exploring there and if you zoom in a bit if i zoom in a bit youll see that triangle area which is disputed now last friday lebanon signed an agreement signed its first offshore oil and Gas Exploration and production contracts for two maritime zones which you see here block four and block nine now a consortium of french italian and russian firms they were the ones to get in there for the first two blocks they say they wont drill near the disputed zone which is around one hundred forty five square kilometers in size now to put that into perspective the disputed area in blocked on is about the size of washington d. C. So there are calls for a maritime blueline if you will people wondering if tillerson with his ties has his big oil and diplomatic background if he can get anything done here but as weve heard this isnt the only border dispute thats causing tension last week israeli construction workers started building a cement border wall near their shared border with lebanon its closer than the current fence and the lebanese government says that this wall would pass through land that belongs to lebanon on the israeli side of the blue line thats where the un demarcated israels military withdrawal from southern lebanon in two thousand now for twenty two years the israeli army occupied an area the size this is ten percent of lebanon basically calling it a security zone. Now the dispute also extends into lebanese airspace and frequent violations of that air space for attacks in syria runa harby says that if israeli jets if an israeli jet wasnt down to earlier in the week the media simply would care israeli jets fly over lebanon and mock raids into target syria all the time she says lebanon is sick of getting bullied but whatever tillerson is able to accomplish some like karim. The heene wonder if or when the administration will have a singular policy or some sort of grand strategy for lebanon as he puts it citing conflicting language thats come out over the past few days about hezbollah for example so if youre in lebanon let us know what you think about all of this you can tweet us your thoughts using the hash tag or message me directly im at endor chapelle well this Regional Border tension shows no sign of abating so in december twenty seventh seen it in fact increase thats when israel announced a plan to build a wall along the whole of the blue line as andrew is saying lebanon living on the blue line is a film showcasing the personal stories of villagers in southern lebanon on about their experiences living close to the border with israel its part of her aljazeera world series which youll find on our home page under the documentaries. Still ahead on the news grid a leading figure in zimbabwe is opposition dies zimbabweans more and more again that story is coming up in just a moment. For the common belief its the journey to blood thats all aboard that means unimaginable hardship i prefer to live both because the ive got the captain to chance a good life and live on a dangerous journey through the jungle i fell on to the rails and nearly died. Of children go to school and live because of the prank risking it all the democratic republic of congo at this time on al jazeera were here to Jerusalem Bureau cover Israeli Palestinian affairs we cover the story with a lot of internet normal to recover includes that we dont dip in and out of the story we have a presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman its also very important to give journalists who know the story very well before going into the fields covering the United Nations and global diplomacy for aljazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks happen and what happens there matters. This is whats trending right now on our website aljazeera dot com the. Most read story on the resignation of the ethiopian Prime Minister and cited unrest amongst the reasons of his resignation in the second story of no words at least seventy u. S. School shooting that of course taking place in florida. With oblongata shooting in just a moment but let me tell you this because after Mass Shootings in the u. S. What happens is politicians often tweet out prayers and condolences so there was a shooting trump tweeted and one students reply to him has now gone viral Sarah Chadwick is a student at marjories Stoneman Douglas high school in parklane florida weve had to blur some language from it but her message has resonated with Many Americans on twitter saying i dont want your condolences my friends and teachers were shot multiple of my fellow classmates are dead do something instead of sending prayers prayers wont fix this by gun control will prevent it from happening again over samarium the mozzie in london with more on that story and more. Thats right and actually during we begin with the u. S. Shooting you were just mentioning the u. S. President donald trump issuing a proclamation on uring the seventeen victims of wednesdays High School Shooting in florida flags will be flown at half mast at all u. S. Embassies and government buildings the suspect has been identified as nineteen year old form a student Nicholas Cruz but he say they believe he acted alone when he went to margery steinman Douglas High School in parkland and opened fire on students and teaches he has been charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder and he is in parkland and joins us live now and andy what more is known about the warnings surrounding Nicholas Cruz. Well to put it very simply the warnings were plentiful were hearing reports that teachers emailed the school to say that this was a dangerous student someone who wasnt even allowed to carry a backpack when he was attending the school but yet was somehow able to legally acquire an a off fifteen style Assault Rifle we know that his friends slowly faded away as they said he started to behave erratically but it seems social Media Presence that is perhaps the most disturbing this is a young man who is posting pictures of himself posing with weapons pictures reportedly of dead animals there is one account from a you tube holder that said he posted on a video that he put in his timeline i am going to become a professional School Shooter that in fact was investigated by the f. B. I. So all the warning signs were there this is an individual who was a loner who had no friends whose parents had passed away and who clearly had the intention of doing harm and this is not an isolated case ive covered perhaps four or five of the biggest Mass Shootings in this country many of them carried out by individuals with a similar profile who showed similar warning signs but because the Second Amendment in this country is protected so wholeheartedly nothing is done in fact President Trump just did and obama era rule which prevented people having Mental Health problems from buying weapons President Trump of course in the last few hours has tweeted out once again that this he says is clearly someone who was a disturbed individual similar tweets were put out from the president after the shooting and last vegas in the last few moments ive just been listening to the attorney general Jeff Sessions saying we must and can do better but again hes talking about stopping criminals from having weapons not that is know what happened in this case or in many of the other cases of these Mass School Shootings so that tweet that was just read out from one of the students here saying we dont need your prayers and condolences we need action is something thats really reverberating among this Community Today indeed as thank you very much for bringing us up to speed with everything happening there from parkland and he can occur. Kenyan judges ruled the deportation of a prominent member of the opposition was illegal and going to magoo now who is a dual citizen was deported to canada last month after he took part in the mock swearing in of opposition.

Big or is interesting that the deity does it also partly what needs to be did not show up to this meeting of the district where they were. The advice of the day but it didnt show up what does suggest that they are deep divisions within the opposition much of the concern is that if in fighting escalates we could see the split in the party when it came to details of the funeral or told that date and it now its like a snake what is this. One slipped declared like that i declare a National Hero status easily given to members of the ruling party to say there was a big it is wrong here about two hundred or so kilometers from harare so now there are a waiting game to see first of all how the other senior officials of the n. P. C. Were reacting is that not so nice is prison its where its like i is going to be buried. Doctors without borders says its fired nineteen Staff Members last year for Sexual Harassment or abuse the child she says it received one hundred forty six complaints last year of those forty were investigated internally follows a scandal of British Charity oxfam west offer accused of using prostitutes while working in haiti after the two thousand and ten earthquake oxfam has now admitted a serious error after a workers sacked following Sexual Misconduct allegations was later we hired as an advisor. And hundreds of palestinians jailed in israel for administrative offensive offenses have started boy causing courts vost lawyers not to attend Court Sessions make use israels military to tishri of torture and keeping detainees in prison without charge or trial for years the Human Rights Group behind the boycott says israel has arrested nearly a thousand palestinians since u. S. President donald trump recognized jerusalem as israels capital in december. Set for me for now more coming up from london though in twenty minutes time lets get back to daryn merriam thank you all now on two wars conflicts and the impact they have on the most vulnerable section of Society Children a new report by an International Charity says one in six children across the world live in conflict zones and thats a seventy five percent increase since the early one nine hundred ninety s. Save the children says more needs to be done because there is an o. Arming increase in cases of killing and maiming these parker reports. Destroys lives it traumatizes communities. And in many of the worlds conflict zones children are suffering the most. This is eastern guta a suburb of the syrian capital damascus last week. Its space relentless bombardment of two years of staff and surrender tactics. The Human Rights Group save the children believes youngsters in war zones are now more at risk that at any time in the past twenty years. According to a new report by the organization one in six of the worlds children live in conflict zones thats three hundred fifty seven million children a seventy five percent increases the early one nine hundred ninety s. Syria afghanistan and somalia of the three most dangerous conflict affected countries to be a child in the past few years theres been a three hundred percent increase in un verified cases of killing and maiming of children and around half of all children in conflict zones lack access to schools and health facilities. For care for. Many of these children in the democratic republic of congos kasai region count violence among the earliest memories militia have destroyed schools and homes across the region and the u. N. Says thousands of children have been forced to become soldiers save the children is one of several organizations trying to rehabilitate victims i think were talking about in this report of children being raped children being forced to fight children being forced to kill other children horrifying brutality and so theres a number of things we can do we can invest in Mental Health and social support for children into we can rebuild the society around them get them back into school and with their families theres a whole range of things we can do but that does take investment it takes time and it takes support. Despite greater International Standards when it comes to protecting children increasingly brutal tactics are being employed the widespread use of indiscriminate weapons cluster barrel bombs have seen child casualty numbers saw. This nine year old range ago was shot three times while fleeing myanmar children are not simply caught in the crossfire they are targets and a group say the profound psychological impact of conflict on children cannot be underestimated there are things seen in childhood the can take a lifetime to recover from the aljazeera. Well one of the dangerous places for children is the occupied west bank where just last year fourteen were killed and almost a thousand injured Bernard Smith reports from. Its hard to concentrate in class when a chunk of your skull has been blown away by a rubber coated bullet. Mohammed to me was shot in december by an israeli soldier during protests in the occupied west bank hes fifteen years old. Before the injury i used to understand things when i read he says so but no i dont i think at the last. Two in every five children in the middle east a living in a conflict zone according to save the children has the highest rates globally and that includes countries like syria iraq yemen and here in the occupied palestinian territories. And its here the conflict as in jordan the longest from the start of the first Palestinian Uprising in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven just in the last twelve months fourteen children have been killed and almost a thousand injured in confrontations in the west bank and set off a similar madman honestly its not just mohamed i have almost weekly cases probabilities to the legs in the body not to mention they are a son imprisonments some of these kids also have parents in prison even no one to take care of them or give them the support they need at home they struggle with psychological issues. Since twenty ten the number of un verified cases worldwide of children being killed or maimed has gone up by almost three hundred percent and had them what many things have become difficult things are not like before when he wants to play i keep telling him to come back and not to play so now he feels that he is different from the other kids. Mohammed will soon have a lengthy series of operations to reconstruct his skull. Hell never fully recover but he hopes he says to be able to play football again but its made out to zero ramallah well in this opinion piece youll see in just a second on aljazeera dot com the authors argue that unschooled children are not only a moral challenge but also one that has negative short term and long term consequences both for the refugees themselves as well as their societies so the author is right that increased funding could build temporary schools revitalize School Curricula and train more teachers to handle the influx of children you can read their analysis on aljazeera dot com now to a story thats trending in australia and you might have been wondering why its Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbulls a ban on government ministers having sexual relations with staff this follows a highly publicized Office Affair between the deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and his former press secretary shes due to give birth to their child in april joyce has survived motions to fire him but his marriage hasnt weathered the controversy and turnbull accused his deputy of making a shocking error of judgement and said such behavior was simply not acceptable im not here to to moralize but we must recognise that what ever may have been acceptable or to which a blind eye was turned in the past today in two thousand and eighteen it is not acceptable for a minister to have a sexual relationship with somebody who works for them it is a very bad workplace practice and Everybody Knows that no good comes of it.
