In a few weeks from now. Preside over its processes which must not be prepositioned by any acts calculated to undermine a new eight or to compromise the outcomes in the eyes of the public as i conclude this address i am aware that many developments have been the party own have been championed and down and by individuals in the name of the party. Given their feelings all the past and under these my age have triggered in some quarters such as developments. Such developments quite understandable however we cannot be guided by bitterness. Range for. Both of which mood. Not meek will not make us any better but you may not have. Any. Game by beards his speech followed a meeting between will be a minute she chiefs but while that was taking place the president was sacked as leader of the ruling party p. F. By its Central Committee is being given until midday on monday to resign president all face impeachment while they were jubilant scenes of their zanu p. F. Party meeting in harare as the sacking was announced the ninety three year old president is being replaced by amisom. A man he recently cites as Vice President mugabe has been on the house arrest since the elements of control when say how much asa has more from. Surprise and disbelief off to saturdays march with hundreds of thousands of people on the streets calling for president mugabe to go he has said he is not residing any plans to be at the Party Conference or congress in december people are now asking what next they know the sanity of Central Committee have given the president up to day on monday to resign if he doesnt theyre going to go to parliament and impeach him so there is a standoff at the moment also people watching the reaction of the army we know that theyre not happy with it we know that they also wanted to go were they continue to be patient lots of uncertainty in the air the main thing now is that has refused to step down and people are wondering whats going to happen later on in the next coming hours the next coming days some zimbabweans you tuned in to watch my speech lawyer felt let down by his refusal to resign. The general did walk away peacefully and with his dignity but he refused to do that hes tried to do so stop and were just waiting. To hear something definitive like im im stepping down im resigning or something. And he didnt say anything unless theres a country with bed to square one. For my view i think. I have to move you used to go to the impeachment route yeah i think is the only solution because currently our Defense Forces right now they cannot. And for more were joined again by professor stephen chan from the school of oriental and African Studies at the university of london they also wrote a book life of power and violence thanks very much for staying around this is obviously clear intention by the president to stay until congress in december but do you think he can survive the week id be most surprised if he survives that we cant address the congress hes no longer the president of the party he was sacked this morning this is just defiance this is simply the old man going down with all of his guns firing. Shots however because they cant have any real effect on the war veterans of said they want to mobilize people to get back on the streets again on wednesday is a potential that could flare up the great march the other day was very very peaceful if they have to do it again i think that there is every single possibility of major rioting in the streets of iraq. We know we should probably tend to the man who is tipped to take over hes always already been named the leader of the of the designer pair of party i miss him and what do we know about him and how much of a challenge is he going to have on these plates if indeed he doesnt take over hes a gentleman whos going to have to reinvent himself he does not have the worlds kindest pastor if i can put it this diplomatically is possible but i think he will try to reinvent himself so he can reconnect the country globally the task is very very much to forge some kind of economic base so the country can come out of great inflation come out of nonproductivity come out of a past where everything was mired for decades back and try to take the country into a future of stability it will take a long time before we can take it into actual prosperity hes facing huge problems with the economy at the moment and i you have quite a diet prediction for even the immediate situation with the economy i think three hundred Percent Inflation by christmas and i dont think you can reverse the overnight just by a new president this is going to take months of very very difficult work to even lay the foundations for reinvigoration of the economy and in fact theres no foundation except that Foreign Countries such as china for instance would pump some liquidity into the economy there is no productive base that makes commercial sense of this moment in time and we are looking now probably impeachment on monday as a. Piece of or talked about the war veterans very much pushing that how does that physically happen where parliament will convene probably on tuesday and hes been given to tomorrow or monday to resign and then your face impeachment on tuesday parliament will convene and passive vote basically impeaching the president and at that point in time he will no longer be legally the president of zimbabwe thank you very much stephen jones. By joining us ill just. Extraordinary thing of the arab league in cairo has a greater condom iran and hezbollah calling the Lebanese Group a terrorist Organization Saudi Arabia requested a meeting to discuss alleged violations committed by iran in the region and it heightens tensions between riyadh and teheran over lebanon and smith has the details. The egyptian secretary general of the twenty two nation arab league suggested they all shared concerns about iran is attempting to influence life across the arab world from yemen to lebanon to iraq and to syria. The whole region has suffered for the past few years the results and consequences of this dangerous iranian policy sedition violence fueling secretary in divisions attacks on embassies actively supporting outlawed militias attacking legitimacy the list in reality is much longer. Saudi arabias foreign minister told the meeting that his countrys frustrations with iran go back decades all the way to the iranian revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine. If you will any leniency towards irans hostile policies will encourage iran to continue with their hostile enterprise thats why today we are required to stand up genuinely and honestly with our people and governments to a dare to the charter of the arab league and International Laws and to stand up to these religious policies of iran. As they are oblique held its meeting irans foreign minister was in Southern Turkey for talks on the Syrian Civil War tweeting from there Mohammed Javid zarif said he was working to build on the ceasefire iran helped achieve in syria he added that the irony is that the kingdom of saudi arabia accuses iran of destabilization while itself fuels terrorists wages war on yemen blockades catarrh and foments crisis in lebanon in yemen iran denies accusations that it supports the rebels theyre fighting a Saudi Led Coalition which is fighting on behalf of yemens internationally recognized government in syria iranian backed fighters of help shore up forces loyal to president bashar assad saudi support opposition fighters and were accused of allowing their citizens to fight for eisel and lebanons Prime Minister resigned while in riyadh citing a reigning interference in lebanese politics the saudis were accused of forcing saddle hariri to step down Bernard Smith aljazeera polling stations have now closed across chile and the votes are being counted to determine who will be the countrys next president though to turnout was much higher than expected but the second round of votes between the two top candidates is likely with no one so far winning a clear majority the see a new man is in santiago. Where ten tab was a National Football stadium it is the largest polling station in all of chile and the votes are being counted as i speak there over there people the names of the winners are being read out one by one running sort of neck and neck between the government candidate and the conservative former president. Now the interesting thing is that the polls had predicted that there would be a very low turnout that has not been the case which seems to confirm that what were seeing all over the world right now that the polls are becoming predictably unpredictable and the fact that so many people have turned out to vote is actually good for the center Left Coalition and bad for the opposition which would seem to indicate that all those have a sampling it will probably will get the most votes in this first round there will be a runoff in a months time still to come on al jazeera.
