Streaming online through you tube Facebook Live and at aljazeera dot com in two days after the military takeover there is still no clarity over the future of zimbabwes long time leader Robert Mugabe zimbabweans have faced two days of tension and confusion since the military seized power on tuesday night we know is that mugabe is now in talks with the South African delegation who are trying to as we say mediate a way out of the political crisis lets get straight into it with a correspondent who has been covering this well. Since it happened to talk us through what youre hearing about the intervening by the South Africans. Well we know that the meeting is still going on a few hours ago a motorcade was seen driving through some streets and went to a state house out officials on talking officially about what the meeting is going west and sit in the meeting but what were hearing from the information from unnamed sources that can be confirmed but they had been giving people information bit by bit that the media they saying that in this meeting prism mcgarvey has some demands one of them is that he wants a guarantee that he and his family will be safe in the other one is that he feels that he shouldnt be forced to step down just yet he says zanu p. F. Is a party that has rules and regulations and people should follow the partys constitution the constitution says that people should go to the conference in december and then at that conference the delegates will vote to decide if he should step down as leader of the party and ultimately president of the country the rehearing some of those talks have been a bit strained some of the Army Officials are also getting frustrated i suppose by the fact that its not wrapping up very quickly these negotiations they havent been easy we dont know how long theyre going to last but people waiting to hear some kind of outcome from the meeting the delegation will also meet Army Officials and they will also meet officials in the ruling party has come help but notice haru looks awfully normal behind you there in harare a little someone walking with a bunch of flowers people look like theyre getting on with life. It is in the streets a calm and quiet but you do sometimes once in a while see how some people are on edge for example about changing t. Twelve oclock today i was doing a live crossing in this very spot and military choppers flew up ahead of us no people behind me just Milling Around everyone stopped and looked up and you know you could tell they were nervous when the motorcade was seen driving towards state house for this meeting with us not africans to chop is a flew over such a neighborhood and people around the Shopping Center also concerned you could tell that people are awaiting and anxious about this this outcome but while they wait life does have to go on so shops are open Civil Servants have reportedly g. T. Schools have been functioning normally but people are waiting for some kind of outcome the opposition have been speaking out the main Opposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai gave a press conference about an hour ago and he said that the military says its not a coup he says for now he believes them he hopes they telling the truth because the world is watching he says it doesnt give him pleasure to see prism of garbage go through what hes going three says their relationship over the years its never been personal he should have issues with the way mugabe has run down the economy and some of these policies and he wished them a guy they had stood down a long time ago and live for the good legacy and he said again that he feels as the opposition he feels its time for mugabe to resign and hand over power really quickly ive had a question on twitter from one of our viewers there who is also if mugabe was to go into exile where might that be i mean theres no sign that that would actually happen but i just maybe what you can tell us is how much support Robert Mugabe has in other african countries. Or over god it is still for now the president and the commander in chief head of state and over the years when he has had a good in and bad impression a legacy throughout the years has been around hes seen as an african icon a liberator help in white minority rule have other countries and white minority rule he still has some friends thats why you seeing mediation efforts going on here the reason the body said it is meeting in a sauna right now trying to find a way out he has people who are willing to help him go out with dignity with grace the question now is is he going to accept how long is that going to be and he doesnt house the army going to react thank you for that horror always good to remind our viewers that Robert Mugabe does have plenty of support. For us the hardings in the studio with me what are the headlines literally what i literally while i have them for us but first were saying what do you even call whats happening in zimbabwe is it a coup is it not headlines around the world though theyre trying to answer that folks online are trying to do the same and most of them are not really using politically correct talk if you will adrian here says if it walks like a duck talks like a duck it must be a duck and uses the hash tag news twenty four in south africa they called it whats happening in a situation the new age and other paper in south africa calls it mugabes day of reckoning on their front page times of india they say that its a thirty seven authoritarian rule coming to an end london Evening Standard they call it mugabi tyrant and call it here a coup happening in zimbabwe this is by a deputy Political Editor but a headline none the less and then here the times in the u. K. Said that mugabe crushed by his own strong men there again using that picture that the times in india were using the kenyan daily nation says what this is is the fall of Robert Mugabe so all these different ways synonyms if you will. For two or maybe you dont think it is a coup at all Aljazeera Al Jazeera here were not calling it a coup because the military says that mugabe is still president and is still commander in chief of the armed forces of course that could always change at any time what do you think it is is it a military takeover was the al said is it a coup we want to hear from you connect with us or the hash tag aging is great thanks so much more about the content online but i do want to direct you to this one in particular because Robert Mugabe said some pretty outlandish things over the years he has as youll see told about imperialism and sexuality but he has compared himself there to hitler and also to jesus christ Robert Mugabes most famous quotes its an interesting read it is there for you at aljazeera dot com a bit of insight into a man who led his country as we say for thirty seven years ok Contact Details are coming up on screen now weve got a little bit of a change as we come through because now you can watch the Facebook Live stream of the news grid through the aljazeera english Facebook Page now that is going to change in a second facebook dot com slash aljazeera so thats where we want you to go now to looking for our content and for our live stream the whats that number in the twitter are exactly the same and of course what doesnt change is the hashtag newsgroup have had some great comments on zimbabwe already going to put those certainly on twitter. Again out how to meet us and now to another political crisis thats playing out this ones in lebanon frances foreign minister says that Prime Minister saad hariri is now expected to arrive in paris on saturday with his family where he will remain for a few days before finally heading to beirut john eve little i am met with hariri in the saudi capital riyadh where he announced his resignation you remember two weeks ago for his part how riri insisted he was fine and he would soon return to lebanon frances foreign minister there was calling for efforts to normalize the situation. I reiterated frances concern with respect to lebanon stability independence and so. Seventy from any foreign intervention all faiths and sex in lebanon need to be respected collective efforts must be made to restore things to normal after the resignation of Prime Minister saad hariri and in that same News Conference the Saudi Foreign minister denied any allegations that hariri was being held against his will. The Prime Minister is living in saudi arabia under his own will hes resigned and with respect to his return to lebanon its in his hands he can leave when he wants. Hezbollah is the root of the problems in lebanon there is a need to find ways to deal with them there are concrete steps in this regard here is for us in beirut. Was supposed to be coming back to beirut probably by now i think i mean is this stalling tactics whats your take on it. Well clearly there is a deal a face saving deal a deal to end the diplomatic turmoil over saddam had a nice fate many lebanese including the president believe saddam how did he and his family were being held hostage in saudi arabia lebanon demanding that he be able to return to lebanon now there is some sort of an agreement the Prime Minister and his family theyre going to be heading to paris now micron the french president saying that this is an invitation i invited to how do you need to spend a few days here so now the Prime Minister going to paris there are also reports that he will be coming to lebanon to officially submit his resignation now whether or not hes going to do that its still unclear because in his Public Comments on sunday he said that he could withdraw the resignation if there will be discussions but clearly the crisis over the fate of the Prime Minister has been resolved but the political crisis in lebanon has not lebanon really accusing saudi arabia of what theyre calling an act of aggression against lebanon sovereignty by holding the Prime Minister hostage very Strong Language used against saudi arabia but right now like we mentioned the Prime Minister will be leaving riyadh soner it strikes me that everything is playing out overseas at the moment its either in riyadh or its going to be in paris what is it actually like there in beirut at the moment is life as normal as it can be. Well yes lebanon is used to crises this is really not the first time lebanon has always been the battleground and especially between the saudi iranian rivalry which is playing out across the region late last year there were some sort of a rare deal between these two regional powers to leave lebanon out of the problem to shield lebanon out from the regional crisis in the region but that has now changed very strong words from the Saudi Foreign minister blaming hezbollah ally of iran for the latest crisis saudi arabia taking a much more aggressive stance against iran saying it wants to curb its influence not just in lebanon in iraq across the region and particularly in yemen its doorstep it is worried that hezbollah is providing training to the hutu rebels who are using missiles to target saudi arabia so this is a regional rivalry levanon always a battleground so people are quite used to this but of course they were worried with the latest the political crisis and political differences remain and if how did he resigns its still not clear who will replace him so there could be a long term political vacuum thank you heard of the latest live from beirut there so france getting involved because it does have historical ties to lebanon remember it was a french colony levels until nine hundred forty three and only last week president mccrone stressed the importance of preserving their bit and stability independence and security with frances support hillary or himself no stranger to france who was in selfimposed exile there and in saudi arabia till twenty fourteen had left lebanon in two thousand and eleven after his government was toppled by an Opposition Coalition which included hezbollah and his father former president Rafique Hariri who was assassinated in two thousand and five had close ties to here is friends with former french president Jacques Chirac the whole family has french citizenship they own several homes there as well so were going to talk to a christian shows no who is a middle east commentator and journalist for radio France Joining us from paris. We see there the historical ties what do you think france can actually do right now what can mr mccrone bring to this dispute. In fact mccrone successful in because he saw mohamed bin solomon in riyadh and know maybe we will bring back in paris so. Its a good play its a success of the diplomatic success so i sing in paris they are happy but they want the choir should be over and the questions will be over one based on how we really will go to lebanon and how we will stay one two days and after you must go to lebanon and this is the deal with the france the fact that the French Foreign minister there has been and we saw that shared News Conference with. Betty how does that play into it because can it be a sort of quote unquote honest broker if its already sort of well siding with one side or at least it looks like that but in fact france you know. The record link was driven and this is the the door of french influence in the middle east and at the same time france has a very very Good Partnership with saudi arabia this is a strategic button so for france it was important to do did it was the these two allies so far so good because they are saving the face for the french. Diplomatic services and no for the only one is its maybe the end of the crisis saw i think you know if the crises will be over in a few days everybody will be happy so it was interesting that king solomon called the hariri situation court a family problem. I mean is this extended family then because if hes trying to say its a closer situation i mean this is spreading very wide now geopolitically. In fact you know i realize you said yes or so if this is this then ship is for me to you was based in riyadh so what was the cause of the resignation of hyrule we dont know but of course there was pressure for the saudi what was behind it maybe some corruption we know that he was in business with many of the princes that have been arrested recently so as the king said its a family problem because it is the song in a way of the soul of the family and it was the reverse of that even though in lebanon so so is this why whats happened inside while salary i threw a design we dont know exactly its not about iran about hezbollah its simply this is inside the story may be linked with corruption was business and maybe it was politics christian chose not joining us from paris we thank you for your time and your thoughts a quick comment on facebook here from allie who is made a good point actually seen here harare doesnt actually have much to say in all this thats quite true its all the other players who are actually saying that he is actually stuck between as we say a rock and a hard place and it does certainly look that way on two fronts and then at some point back to beirut right get a check of some other world news now lauren tyler is in london thanks carol Cambodias Supreme Court has dissolved the Main Opposition Party giving Prime Minister who intends ruling party a clear run in next years general election the government says the Cambodian National rescue party was plotting a coup but bryant has latest from penn the decision came after a day of deliberations held me tight security around cambodia supreme court.
