And style without boundaries London Fashion week opens with a focus on diversity and social issues. Im joined with the sport as the u. S. Save gulden golf game became the secret that you cant win them all after failing to medal in the slalom in killing the track. Will begin in the south africa where the new president s obama polls has been making his state of the nation address his first of course speaking in cape town from a poser said he would need to take tough decisions to reduce the size of the countrys fiscal deficit and stabilize debt after years of weak growth from a poser also said his government was committed to ensuring policy certainty and consistency. Well one people committed to Work Together to find jobs for youth to build factories and roads houses and clinics to prepare our children for a world of change and progress to build cities and towns where families may be safe productive and maybe content. We are determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity that does not tolerate the plans of Public Resources know that. By corporate criminals of their hard earned savings of ordinary people. From in the middle or is outside parliament in cape listening to that address which ended just a short while ago from a ceramic president we must put behind us the era of discord disunity and disillusionment that has somehow engulfed our country did he give much in the way of detail as to how he intends to achieve that. He hadnt said very much up to this point about how exactly that should be how the exactly that should be done he did certain your doctor considered a treat tone and also acknowledged as you say the difficulties at the country faced a politically also economically and i think that was the greater focus of this address so far just how hell deal with boosting an economy boosting Investor ConfidenceBusiness Confidence creating jobs specifically for the youth but one area i think president s will report says the stout on so far is this issue of free High Education of universities and colleges in the last elective conference of the a. N. C. When from of course of became the president of the ruling party former president jacob zuma spoke about Free Education and that being a government priority and theres been a lot of questions around exactly how that will be done given how poorly the economy has performed really we havent heard any detail about that either at this point and he touched on the fight to come against corruption dundee said were determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity that does not tolerate the plunder of. Public resources he had to strike a positive note to distance himself from his predecessor jacob zuma who was booed in parliament when his name was mentioned. The members of parliament here im sure would be criticised at some point for what people might view as hypocrisy given that these are the same parliamentarians that protected jacob zuma for the longest time but of course wanted would want to be in a small room of course as favored Going Forward there was some acknowledgment of the legacy of jacob zuma and this whole room oppose as you say would want to move on from some of the criticism the African National congress as a party has faced in the last few years. The president hasnt a city very much as you mention about what exactly he would do in terms of distancing himself but weve seen in the last days since he was nominated and elected president by the National Assembly there has been a quite a large emphasis on showing the country that this is a different type of leadership Ethical Leadership is what he said in this address and that there would be quite a departure from the governance weve seen in recent years restoring Ethical Leadership in the hundredth year of the birth of Nelson Mandela since the birth of Nelson Mandela he identified as his governments chief priority tackling youth unemployment which stands astonishing something close to seventy percent of under twenty fives who have no jobs. Or the latest as to six that have come out say that people between the ages of fifteen and twenty four more than fifty percent of young people dont have jobs and president. Has spoken about creating jobs for the youth specifically a job Creation Forum to bring together of business a young people to find a way. To create the necessary jobs hes spoken about paid internships saying that millions of these internships will be created in the next few years im sure these are words will be welcomed by people who dont have jobs people who perhaps dont have the skills to find jobs and have given up i think the the president has a struck some of the right notes in this address they may be a couple of gaps he one important area that i think a lot of people have been waiting to hear about with regard to the economy as well is this issue of land appropriation without compensation theres been concern about how this would affect the economy how we would affect Food Production the stability in that sector given just type or to the Agricultural Industry is now the president says he wouldnt want to harm Food Production or stability in that area but im sure this commitment that his we emphasize this evening will come under scrutiny and will be a lot of concern about how land will be returned to people who had lost it during apartheid and colonialism common to middle of bringing us all the very latest from parliament in cape town where indeed president several rather closer is still delivering the tail end of his state of the new nation rustans from. Ethiopia announced a state of emergency a day after prime minister. Announced his intention to step down the resignation which is unprecedented in ethiopias history aims to smooth the reforms and unrest which is threatening the ruling partys hold on power theres been a wave of strikes in towns near the capital and demonstrations calling for the release of six thousand Political Prisoners the government is also struggling to simmer anger between the two largest ethnic groups the. American who both feel under represented well lets look at the events that led up to dessalines resignation in two thousand and fifteen hundreds of ethiopians. Were killed by Security Forces in antigovernment protests in two of the most populous regions or romania and none of those protests spread across the country leading the government to impose a ten month state of emergency in october two thousand and sixteen but the demonstrations continued into this year forcing the Ethiopian Government to release more than six thousand Political Prisoners joining me on the line now from new york is daniel b.

And a record breaking ice skater and the fictional bear at the Winter Olympics joe will be explaining all to us in school. Leaders have been addressing a key conference in munich aimed at discussing global and Regional Security challenges the end of qatar has spoken at the event calling the boycott of his country by four arab nations a futile exercise from which qatar has emerged stronger hes also called for a new Regional Security effort in the middle east hydrogen relations been guided by a set of solid to governance and the rule of law we would not have seen nations with limited resources being a blackmailed into watching their foreign policies for external eight. Other nations who also also needed Financial Aid refused the offer and stood for their value as hydrogen races being guided by a set of solid governess principles and rule of law we would not have seen the exploitation of wealth power or geographical constraints to satisfy the thirst for power. The un secretary general antonio good terrace also addressed the conference urging policymakers not to miss an opportunity to end the standoff over north Koreas Nuclear program. For the First Time Since the end of the cold war we are now facing a Nuclear Threat a set of a Nuclear Conflict and that led to referring to the developments in relation to Nuclear Weapons and long range missiles by the democratic peoples republic of korea as evil apparent made in total contradiction with the will of the International Community and in clear violation of several as aleutians of the Security Council. It is important to note that the unity that the Security Council has been able to demonstrate to the will of the International Community and theres been able to put through sanctions a very meaningful pressure over north korea and thats pressure in my opinion is absolutely essential to be maintained. Joins us live from a conference in munich we heard the u. N. Secretary general there saying that they could potentially be the opportunity for a peaceful solution to the crisis in north korea is that a view shared by people attending the conference. John of the general sentiment among people attending the Munich Security Conference is that this is going to be a long way to go before this particular quizes is contained for two reasons first of all you have the escalation of the rhetoric between the United States of america and north korea and also you have the north korean government pursuing its policy of upgrading its military capabilities particularly the long range missiles and they say that these two developments wont be conducive to any settlement any time soon however they hoping that the International Community can come together and try to encourage some sort of confidence Building Measures their words engage the north koreans in the near future. Along with south korea. The americans would step in but also the International Community has to play a significant troll to find a peaceful way out from this crisis and this explains by the way jonah why this particular conference has been talking about the world on the brink of a significant quizes their concern is the north korean crisis could spin out of control over that if happens it would have catastrophic impact on the world. And we also heard the emir of qatar talking about the need to tackle the many challenges facing the middle east how much progress is he likely to be able to make at a conference like this. I have to say that the the middle east is topping the agenda of the world leader as top Security Officials and its gathering here. Munich for Different Reasons the they say that the potential for confrontation between is where for example and iran is very high giving the recent developments pretty much concerned also about the growing rivalry between iran and saudi arabia over syria yemen and iraq and also the g. C. C. Crisis that was started last june when saudi arabia allies severed ties with this explains why the qatari michette i mean but how much that he was saying that that we need to have a new platform a new order that wont allow countries from bullying their neighbors as it was making a reference to saudi arabia which would take advantage of of its use leverage and the vast wealth it has to try to force countries particularly in africa to side with these policies otherwise they would face more sanctions or they wont be able to get any humanitarian aid from saudi arabia as far as the g. C. C. Crisis is. And this explains why the emir was saying basically we need a new regional. Order to prove a base of the respect for freedoms and human rise and there was this moment when he was saying basically that the world needs to understand the core issues of the some of the problems we face in the middle east is not only about i still. In the region we have to go back to the fiftys when the after the independence of most of the arab World Leaders was talking about the need to implement a genuine policy that would bring about prosperity what happened after that was just more dictatorship more clamping down on the freedom and this explain the discontent that has been prevailing for many years i still came later to tap into that discontent and hijacked the dreams of millions of people in that part of the world. Speaking to us from Munich Security Conference sanctions. Turkey and the United States say theyve agreed to normalize relations at least strained over syria u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said after talks with his turkish counterpart covers all grew in ankara that the relationship was at a bit of a crisis point turkey is angry over u. S. Support for Syrian Kurdish y p g forces earlier this week the pentagon asked for five hundred fifty Million Dollars to use in syria thought to be for the wide p. G. Well the two sides have now agreed new mechanisms to improve their relationship starting with a joint working group focusing on the town of man beach or man beach is significant because it lies west of the euphrates and turkey says that by allowing the kurds to cross the river the u. S. Has broken a promise made under the Obama Administration jamal sheil reports now from ankara. Rex tillerson didnt receive the warmest of welcomes when he arrived in the turkish capital ankara turkey has been angered by u. S. Policy which it believes threatens its National Security and president. Made that clear during a three hour long meeting with the u. S. Sec
