Yesterday this said all the time in the world to decide when he wants to leave and it is that it has to be today and i remember specifically the secretary general saying we have not given the president a deadline what we can take from this is that the the the support for zuma within the posse has been significantly outnumbered by those who want to see him go as quickly and as soon as possible we know that yesterday the man who gave that briefing was speaking on behalf of the in e. C. We are now the only National Exam that isnt that an executive committee and we are now hearing from the parliamentary caucus which is a Different Party structure and basically they a decision has been taken to act swiftly and how does it work in terms of procedure all right so what we understand this the a.

No harm the thought after reading the recommendations report. I can see that this is a biased extreme document full of holes like swiss cheese and it doesnt hold water enough with. Joining me now is chanu design a shes the middle east analyst welcome shani we saw. A defiant hes had other investigations against him by really just sit this one out as well well you sure does hope so and it seems like hes got no reason to worry his coalition is very stable his Coalition Partners have come out saying were not in any rush to break this coalition the new budget for that for next year has just been passed last night so they seem to be waiting for the attorney general to see his decision for now nothing seems to be threatening him however we need to keep in mind were seeing every weekend for many months now demonstrations against corruption if we see this weekend or next coming weeks a backlash a very big public outcry calling it in the hour any of his partners we need more you need to step down that might shake things up the special police unit has been investigating many allegations against him lets take a look at what theyre investigating now this builds on known to israelis as cases one thousand and two thousand. One thousand and eighteen yahoo and his family suspected of accepting lavish gifts from Business People and rich friends champagne cigars and other items what tens of thousands of israeli shekels i guess two thousand the Prime Minister allegedly tried to influence the pub the show off a daily newspaper in order to receive more favorable coverage now lets talk about case two thousand what was he trying to get from the publisher well very simple you give me positive coverage this would talk about the publisher of the biggest newspaper in israel and i will make sure that your biggest competitor. Is. A paper that was established by Sheldon Adelson one of the twenty i was biggest supporters i will make sure he stays at bay and you manage to recover because what happens is that Sheldon Adelson hes also a big contributor the Republican Party did pockets a very big supporter of conservatives. Causes a very big supporter of mattel you know he started this paper in israel in two thousand and seven and give it away for free it broke the print market it got the biggest paper on the brink of bankruptcy and in turn you know says you know i know i can keep him at bay you have less competition but in return you need to give me favorable coverage you know you know this young is a leader who polarizes people how important has the media been for him and his political career very much especially we see it as he progresses into you know more and more you would say you would imagine that a man of his stature having been a Prime Minister and for twelve years would gain more and more confidence but with the years we see him actually becoming more and more obsessed with the media with the negative coverage in the bias against him that he sees in the media a great example of that was that he chose when he started his new coalition to keep the ministry of communications and media with himself he also had a special clause put into the agreement that forces all Coalition Parties to support any changes and reforms he wants to pass in the media field and in the media market so he is trying to keep a hold of that market for as long as he can he had to withdraw because of technical reasons and legal court you know that issued him ask him being a Prime Minister step down but hes very much feeling that hes being wronged by the media again and again like you would have to see how this plays out is that a middle east analyst thank you very much for joining us. Ok lets youre watching the news coming up ahead of the german electropop tiniest craftwork of follow in the footsteps of artists as there are cohen and Whitney Houston playing live at the kremlin palace in moscow. Ok novel business is one of our joins me and its the reconstruction in iraq monika yes theres a conference underway its the last day today in kuwait and return to iraq says it is open for investors that is the message of fish oils are pushing out of that International Donor conference in kuwait iraq is hoping to do a major investment from its allies a and reconstructing the country after decades of conflict the United States has already pledged a loan worth three billion dollars from exim bank kuwait and saudi arabia throw in another three and a half billion but thats only a fraction of what is needed you mariska iraqi cities were reduced to rubble in the war against Islamic State and it will take time and lots and lots of money to breathe life back into iraq. Rebuilding a country doesnt exactly come cheap iraq estimates the cost at close to ninety billion dollars. And these are some of the people the Iraqi Government is hoping to woo high ranking officials from the worlds of politics and business here to find out what part they might play in the reconstruction of iraq. The government is offering projects in almost every sector of the economy including its oil industry. Zeman c. E. O. Joe kayser told you his company is rebuilding four power plants he said securing availability of electricity is probably iraqs biggest challenge right now we know that the grade is under tremendous stress. And the us secretary of state Rex Tillerson announced a three billion dollar loan from exim bank to help the country rebuild. The funds that weve announced that weve already committed and therefore money that we announced today that were are committing our all around stabilization in iraq and syria this is the first step that then provide the conditions for reconstruction. We have to first restore those basic utilities and keep the area safe and secure in order for reconstruction to be again the conferences taking place just two months after iraq declared victory over the socalled Islamic State its an achievement the government is hoping will convince International Businesses that now is the time to invest in the countrys future. Earlier in the day tillerson laid a wreath at a Gulf War Memorial a reminder of just one conflict iraq is hoping to leave behind as it braces itself for what it hopes will be a more prosperous future. A more on the rebuilding effort in iraq and what role German Companies some playing check out our website at www dot com slash business where you can find the entire interview with siemens c. E. O. Joe cases. Well from the would go u. S. President star trump had a very clear idea about how he defines fair trade its fair when america benefits from it fair enough and now hes considering a range of options including tariffs and quotas to address steel and the minium imports he says are unfairly hurting us produces. The u. S. President met with lawmakers at the white house to determine whether to slap tear of some foreign steel imports from countries like china secretary rice submitted the result of the investigations to me last month my administration is down reviewing the reports and considering all options. Part of the options would be terrorists coming in as they dump steel that big tariffs substantial tariffs which means the United States would actually make a lot of money and. Probably our Steel Industry and our limited edition would come back into our country right now which decimated. Trump insists that the new cherubs being introduced on chinese steel are fair and the word reciprocal is a very important word we have countries that are taking advantage of us theyre charging us massive tariffs to for us to sell our product into those countries and when they sell to us zero we charge them zero. Well like the stupid people and i dont like to have that anymore so were going to change that and were going to make it fair and that i call that fair trade to choose thirty no German Companies fear that theyll be the next recipients of Donald Trumps fair trade tariffs. Even more just in case you forgot today is valentines day millions of women around the world can look forward to receiving a nice bunch of flowers with europe in the grip of winter chances are that your flowers come from somewhere warm and sunny like kenya in fact the calm flower industry is key to the countrys economy but competition from neighboring ethiopia is putting business at risk. At the yossarian flour farm in Central Kenya all these stem to beauties are processed by hand from harvesting to bundling to packing for transport. Tonnes of flowers are prepared for market on these work tables. The companys director hamish kerr runs a well organized and highly efficient operation each flower arrives in stores no later than two days after their cut. People line up outside the packing facility every day looking for work the regional economy depends on flower cultivation where employing three off hours and people we are neither when it comes to have ethical trade so were paying ostroff the highest in the industry for providing housing medical schooling so in terms of the flowers that we produce they are putting money into peoples pockets. The flower industry is the countrys second most important sector after tourism. Five percent of its economic output comes from cut flowers. Here at lake ny bhatia growing conditions are perfect for twelve hours of sunshine per day cool nights fertile soil and enough lake water to keep the more than fifty flower producers here in business. The Kenya Flower Council in the capital nairobi however is concerned about cheaper competition in neighboring ethiopia the head of the Association Says the Ethiopian Government is attracting investors with price dumping they get access to land they get to be subsidies on even freight let me give you an example we cant land our flowers in the us at three point five to four dollars a kilogram. Big europeans on this subsidized plates on their own in their every plane land. Shouldnt we. Dont speculate. As a result farmers are leaving. This flower grower abandon operations here to move to ethiopia low cost operations to the north are endangering the industry in kenya with jobs and Economic Growth at stake. If the exodus of companies continues at this rate that will be bad news for the flourishing flower sector in kenya. To the Winter Olympics at. Five off the games and a snowboard legend has added another gold medal to his tally Jonathan Green from both says it is here to tell us all about the action welcome to all of them and the final tomato shaun white has done it again yes before and some also because its good to have of course i mean these are the sorts of these days there has been before but here is an action now he was behind going into this is fun to run but he really turned on the style that twisting turning back to back jumps its just incredible to be able to do that and then this is his signature move. And see what it means to him look just the relief as well i mean he waits to see yes there it was ninety seven point seven five points out of a maximum one hundred so almost perfect not quite sure why it really is a snowboarding superstar there he does divide opinion because he put the sports into the mainstream a lot of people just wanted it to stay as a thing for show he wanted it to be about winning and boy has he won thats he said olympic medal now there were four years ago in sochi he was very disappointed he was in tears. Because he finished in fourth place and hes tied it around lets listen to what that means to him some stand there at sochi with the winning runs in my hands i just couldnt deliver like today was a was a deja vu situation of the same thing im standing there but im so proud to say that ive kind of like found the love of the sport again you know to my friends to my family the people that support me and i was able to stand up there and deliver the performance that i knew i could. Well congratulations to him and just in talking about medals germany is still at the top of the medals tally the latest go it coming in fact just today yesterday in the Nordic Combined the no six gold medals overall germany and this one was thanks to eric friends of the Nordic Combined as the name suggests it involves two different sports that involve ski jumping and crosscountry skiing are friends with a bit of a monster in this event is a five time world cup winner specially strong on the skis because he was face off to the jump in part of the competition but then he really came through broke ahead of the fall break through the four ahead of him in the end it was between him and i go with a from japan but he edged ahead so he now has defended his olympic title in fact the first Nordic Combined skates win back to back limping titles for thirty eight years that underlines the strength of his achievement look and disappointment full of the host nation and then we also saw the underbelly off kind of something unpleasant as a result of that what happened in the womens five hundred meter short track final was a very dramatic event wed only seen britons at least kristie crash out like she did four years ago but then that kind of sets up a really really tense phonology between italys arianna from tonya and choi menu and im hoping we can see those pictures now you know we can it was actually a photo finish just look how close it was in the end twenty two centimeters raising them but then unfortunately for the korean choice she was disqualified and not because of this the judges ruled this to be interference for the main beneficiary of that was kind of just can be it sounds she pronounced the matter who since then she was promotes its a brawl. But the unfortunate thing about this story is because of the disqualification shes been receiving a lot of abuse online from korea and supports even Death Threats now and the i. C. Is spoken out against this today as everyone should enter into the spirit of the olympics obviously not something we want to be saying yeah absolutely we dont look positive note the swiss team is that has been going. I did but not for the performances on the slopes on the slopes some of the athletes competing important look at this and think i actually got looks like fun so we might see it in future when for the big games but this is a five person is a swiss freestyle skier and hes been taking his free starting skills to the escalator now athletes actually have a lot of time to kill in between events they get bored and i guess this is a result that is probably were panicking watching him do this and then later on he was joined by a teammate units from sick after a bit of improvised bobsled now they course it Cool Runnings on their Instagram Post the line you dont see the swiss team carrying on well they are they are carrying on the videos of have half a million views between them but i guess we should say trying to. Train thank you very much and happy valentines day at the garden times they see you fly was a hit in the newsroom over the great forward to getting them.

To group play didnt rush or in two thousand and four but havent been back since. Yes because. They are the foundation of modern electronic music the roots of this bent ive been listening to the music since i was a teenager. I.

For two hours away from powerful bass heavy sound washed over the crowd in the kremlin palace. Dressed identically in skin tight bodysuits the four techno pioneers behind their consoles and trance the crowd with new material and old classics.
