scientists believe they have found a planet much like earth and a solar system eleven light years away. at the u.n. and the african union are closely monitoring the situation in zimbabwe the military sees power in the early hours of wednesday but the exact details of the situation in the country remain unclear president robert mugabe spoke by telephone with the south african counterpart on wednesday jacob zuma says nagai is confined to his home however some military says it is not to post the president supporters describe this move as a bloodless correction they say the military is focusing on what they call criminals in the president's circle so that suggests what's really going on is a struggle among political leaders around mugabe he's ninety three years old he's the world's longest serving head of government. reports from harare. pots of. soldiers and aman. to government offices and the courts people say they are cautiously waiting to see what happens next. there has been little violence i can see how every movement is usually no more business than the president moving around freely given all. the country's war veterans say they have had enough of president robert mugabe many helped keep him in power for nearly forty years we. should have been recalled from is a wrong as the president insisted. the mob his army said on wednesday the president robert mugabe and his wife are safe in a private residence south africa's president jacob zuma said he was concerned about the situation in a phone call with zuma mugabe confirmed he was fine we would like to call for calm and restraint. particularly to the defense force and also to the two forces in zimbabwe i have also. conducted he said president mugabe. whom i had time to to talk. and he is fine but confined in his home zuma plans to send a special envoy to the country. the crisis began on tuesday with reports of military vehicles rolling towards the capital good morning the army gave a statement on state television insisting the situation is not a military takeover we are only targeting criminals are only. committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice hours after issuing the statement the army again restated its position. the state run newspaper printed a special edition on wednesday often in the army says president robert mugabe is still head of state and commander in chief. zimbabweans of only known one leader since one thousand nine hundred eighty the mugabe family is an institution some people love the president and his wife grace mugabe are the say over the years the mugabe's have destroyed the economy this is uncharted territory for the country zimbabwe's military has said soldiers will only return to the barracks when all those who the keys are trying to destabilize and destroy the party from within have been arrested and. allies who are coming under pressure the head of the ruling party is youth wing has apologized for comments he made criticizing the army just a day before the military takeover. the statement made yesterday it was together with my executive. i is the leader of the revolutionary guard disutility i reflected. that i didn't i was. reduced it to mean to which i could be a youth league or the united neither or that which was a deliberate in your how you or. your place in this for a country requires you generally to enter to please say accept my apologies want to be helpful to you to the end of my self we are two young people we are still growing up we learned from our mistakes and from this big mistake we have learned a lot nick branson is a senior researcher at the africa research institute he says that apology shows the leader has been backed into a corner by that in the past twenty four hours i think it's quite an extraordinary statement from from him really i mean twenty four hours ago also he was saying he was prepared to die you know for robert mugabe and and making all sorts of claims and now he's essentially realize that you know there wasn't really any authority behind behind him in the youth league and but actually the power is completely evaporated so an apology both to the general and to the zimbabwean defense forces and indeed to the people of zimbabwe is quite a uterine well i think it certainly exposed people who clearly had an agenda that was you know linked to war in support of grace mugabe's and and they're very vulnerable there so obviously they're in a position where they have to try and make up men fences with them as president donald trump has lambasted north korea again in a speech following his asia tour he called on governments to put quote maximum pressure on young trump also praised his achievements during the twelve day trip

possible marks he spoke of the many deals he was doing he spoke of the greater respect being established for the united states he spoke of the need for the u.s. to put itself first in any future trade negotiations and he also did to discuss the issue of north korea obviously of great concern to the region he did make a speech in south korea vitriolically attacking north korea but this is what he had to say i made clear that we will not allow this twisted dictatorship to hold the world hostage to nuclear blackmail i called on every nation including china and russia to unite in isolating the north korean regime cutting off all ties of trade incomers until it stops its dangerous provide on and this is the tall key to what we're doing on d. nuclearize ation but also in his speech president trump sharply attacked previous administrations he played them for the policies trade situation that he says the u.s. now finds itself in including the eight billion dollar trade deficit that it has with countries like china he said that experience administrations and were naive in some cases mistaken in other cases and even he said corrupt in some cases well this is a very strong criticism from
