Calls for president Robert Mugabe to step down are growing louder he was seen for the first time in public on friday days after the army seized control and confined him to private residence in harare the people who helped him stay in power for nearly forty years the war veterans have called for an anti mugabe rally on saturday because he did it would. Be plunder. These waves. Becoming prison reform. Is a problem people. Dont want to be responsible for. But what youre seeing is listen to their message when we want to. Organize the money movements the war veterans are important in the countrys power structure this is a leader and his wife grace have gone to the firing of former vice president. And his supporters and get them there making it clear grace and affection called g forty in the rulings on it or never be in power the first lady was at the Graduation Ceremony will be kept thousands of graduates if the plan is to carefully manage president its a. Transition of power in the process. Has led zimbabwe since one thousand nine hundred eighty people are still stunned the army stepped in. Right now to make sure that. We could live in concert you know. Just when the president mugabe. Step down in a dignified way down my. Way that is not destructive the way that he is not because of the. Southern African Leaders plan to hold an emergency summit on zimbabwe for now one thing is clear the ninety three year old mugabe is losing friends the war veterans who put him in power are now the ones who want to go on. Joining us now live from cambridge as long as gay my hes a zimbabwean broadcaster whos based here in the u. K. Thanks so much for being with us on the program so the only has a let prison mcgarvey appear in public or he did not actually speak publicly but what does the military want to happen now who does it want to take over in zimbabwe. Well i think its quite clear the person behind this military coup is the former vice president. I think its important for your viewers to note that when mugabe lost the elections in two thousand and eight it was as the chairman of the joint Operations Command who engineered the army and other Security Forces to of have mugabe violently really acted so basically the person who kept mugabe is in power has now removed him well and to be fair to move god of course he was actually running by the president himself camaguey all of a rely on anybody now does anybody still support him within his ideas on a p. F. Policy i think im got these pillars of support. As theres been pointed out by many people this military coup has actually been more peaceful than the elections in zimbabwe so this basically is generating the euphoria that you are seeing there is a lot of nervous excitement people are warming up to the army theyre looking at them as heroes weve seen whats one us president in karma. Doing mugabe to step down i think mugabe is lost in all of this hes fully aware that the army needs him. To missy or the successor so hes holding on to this card were told in negotiations with centering around him being given safe passage and immunity but i think the latest as youve been seeing from the reports is that hes insisting on finishing his term in office so i think those strategizing this military coup in a sense are now looking at the party route trying to have him removed as leader of zanu p. F. And theres talk that they might actually have him in peached as early as tuesday. Sally a conference of course is due to take place in december is that likely to go ahead do you think yes i think from the onset the army have insisted that this is not a military coup. But i think in a way you know its almost like looking at a spade and saying this is not a spade this is a long spoon this is a military coup but i think for purposes of preempting Regional Intervention theyre not calling it a coup and so far its been done professionally its been done peacefully the soldiers on the street being reported to be very polite and courteous. Is being prosecuted in a very legal lipstick men because i think its quite important for whoever takes over to not have taken over on the back of a military coup so i think this is an appeal conference in december is going to be very important because i think whoever succeeds mugabe will have to be someone who is a product of a Legal Process all the all of the above was our allies are insisting on a return to constitutionalism and following legal channels i think the Chinese Foreign minister has stayed the same so they will not have someone installed on the back of a military coup so they are going to try and prosecute this within as much within the constitution as possible and can you give us any sense of what might be happening behind the scenes who is actually negotiating with you about the future of zimbabwe. Well i think you saw from the pictures that were released in the state media taking part in the negotiations it is a Catholic Priest for them canady you have the defense minister significant in my state security minister campbell more heidi they were joined by obviously by the envoys from south africa the south African Defense minister in the south African State Security minister so you also have general to enter there and im told them garbage spokesperson george harbor is involved in the talks so i think what you have here is a mexican standoff really theres no way the military generals can back off from this one because i think if they allow mugabe to remain in power they know their heads will be on the chopping block and equally mugabe has one last card to play which is the legitimacy card they need him to confer legitimacy on his successor so basically its a mexican standoff its a matter of who blinks first but i our sources are telling us the generals are not backing down and if he refuses a graceful exit they will obviously humiliate him through an impeachment process and we all know people in the opposition and even within zanu p. F. Are fed up of mugabe so there would be a lot of support for any impeachment process in parliament really getting your analysis of the situation whats unfolding in zimbabwe right now last night joining us there from cambridge thanks so much thank you.

Japan has tabled a motion at the United Nations to try to extend the investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syria it follows last nights vetoed by russia of a similar resolution before the u. N. Security council well our diplomatic efforts james bays is at the u. N. Headquarters in new york and joins us live now so james tell us more about this nation well theyre trying to save whats known as the jim the joint investigation mechanism after a day of high drama here the United Nations on thursday when we had two rival resolutions concerning the gym which didnt pass and one was vetoed by russia leaving a situation that this mechanism which is supposed to determine who has been carrying out chemical weapons attacks in syria is going to wither and die well they have had another meeting of the Security Council behind closed doors and japan has suggested that perhaps the way forward is to keep the Current System going for another month so there could be further negotiations and asking the secretary general of the United Nations and the head of the o. P. C. W thats the body that deals with chemical weapons to come up with new proposals on the way into the meeting the British Ambassador said he couldnt see why all the members of the Security Council couldnt support this compromise but i have read it and i would have thought that every Single Member of the Security Council would support everything single sentence and that but i thought that in the past and they have still never left me to think. So the key question was will the russians support it we are still Russian Deputy ambassador as he arrived at the meeting he simply said to reporters i love you all but certainly that good spirits didnt continue inside the room because he told the other diplomats from the other members of the Security Council that russia did not support this new compromise measure its not clear whether this new compromise range measure will be put to a vote its not clear if it is put to the right vote whether russia will use its veto yet again or will abstain and what hangs in the balance is the whole operation to identify whos carried out chemical weapons attacks in syria its looking like glee that this body of a joint investigative mechanism is going to be no more in the next few hours james thank you.
