Thats in half an hour here on bbc news. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. The main breaking story in the southern end of africa at the moment. Jubilant scenes are unfolding across zimbabwe capital harare this morning. These are the pictures. Protests demanding the resignation of president Robert Mugabe have turned to a celebration of the armys role in ending his grip on power. Meanwhile in zimbabwes second city of bulawayo, crowds can be seen cheering an army convoy. Mr mugabe has been under house arrest since a military takeover four days ago. The rally is supported by the army and members of the ruling zanu pf party, which has passed a vote of no confidence in the president , according to state media. Protestors on the streets in harare spoke to our correspondent. Basically we are zimbabweans, we are saying thank you very much for the peaceful intervention and it is time for the masses of zimbabwe to say mugabe must go and he must go yesterday. For us it is about a new beginning and the end of a tyranny rule and we will take zimbabwe back. Some of the thoughts on the streets of zimbabwe. Earlier i spoke to our africa correspondent who gave us a sense of what was happening on the ground. It feels like a revolution. The mood here is one of delirium. I am looking past an armed personnel carrier here, thousands of zimbabweans converging on these streets and mobbing the military thanking them for the coup that triggered this. It is extraordinary. Everybody coming together with one focus for now and that is getting rid of president mugabe. The fear that has kept so many people in check over the years has lifted with the permission of the military and zanu pf who authorised todays events. Now people are going quite delirious with happiness, hope that president mugabe will very soon step down and when you ask them, people say this has gone beyond something that zanu pf can control, that there is such a groundswell now of hope and passion for real change here so it will be very interesting in the days and weeks ahead, the extent of which zanu pf can manipulate and keep control of this and keep their iron grip on power. That was the latest from andrew harding. Some live pictures coming through. You can get a sense of the atmosphere there. Music playing. Clearly those sort of thoughts that we re clearly those sort of thoughts that were coming through from andrew, it continues. People dancing. Something ofa continues. People dancing. Something of a carnival atmosphere there. Because, and it appears from the reports that we are getting from the ground, this goes for the vast majority of those in zimbabwe, people are supporting what the army has done in the last week or so. They are supporting this move to try and get rid of president Robert Mugabe, who has been in charge of the country for the best part of four decades. They are supporting this move to try and stop him and think of a power which is what it was believed he wished to his wife grace. And they are supporting the moves at the moment to see a peaceful transition of power, probably in the early phases to other members of the zanu pf party, the ruling the party of resident mugabe. A series of speeches going on, vast crowds in the zimbabwean capital this afternoon. And across other parts of the country as well. We will leave those scenes from now. We will leave those scenes from now. We will leave those scenes from now. We will bring you more later and throughout the day is that develops. Now closer home. The msp Richard Leonard has been elected as the new leader of scottish labour. Mr leonard beat the partys Health Spokesman anas sarwar by around 3000 votes securing overwhelming support from trade unions. The leadership contest was triggered by the surprise resignation of Kezia Dugdale in august. Mr leonard said he intended to follow a radical agenda pushing to extend Public Ownership and introduce a more progressive taxation system. Comrades, what this leadership election has shown is that a reinvigoration of our politics in scotla nd reinvigoration of our politics in scotland is both needed and yearned for by the people. We need a vision ofa for by the people. We need a vision of a better future, for by the people. We need a vision of a betterfuture, a vision for by the people. We need a vision of a better future, a vision of hope again, so that 20 years on, since the devolution referendum we need to restate our scottish labour vision for the economic, social and environmental transformation we want to deliver for the people of scotland. And so reinvigorate the very reasons why the labour party campaigned forand, very reasons why the labour party campaigned for and, lets not forget, delivered the Scottish Parliament in the first place. Applause that is Richard Leonard. 0ur scotland correspondent Steven Godden is in glasgow and has been following the Leadership Campaign over the last nine weeks. Certainly you heard Richard Leonard talking there about the need for unity, for everyone to come together after this result. Certainly in this campaign it has been a Long Campaign at times, it has been quite bitter at times. These two men, Richard Leonard on the one side seen as a left winger, a former union official, against anas sarwar who is viewed more moderate. Richard leonard has come out on top. He certainly has a challenge. One of his first challenges is to bring unity to what has been a very divided party. Also the wider political challenge to get labour back position that they historically enjoyed in scotland, the position of power. They have fallen at holyrood to third place behind the conservatives. That concerns everyone in that room. You heard Richard Leonard talking about the need to restate the vision for scottish labour, so very much that is the challenge for him. And he has other things on his plate as well. It is certainly a lot for him to do now that he is in position but you heard the reaction to him there, certainly a lot of happiness in thst room. Now has to bring them together. Investigators are continuing their examination of the wreckage from a mid air crash involving helicopter and a light aircraft over buckinghamshire. Four people died in the collision, near the waddesdon estate yesterday lunchtime. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is at the scene. Any update . No, we have learned very little more about this crash. 2a hours now since it happened here on the edge of aylesbury, this estate, the edge of aylesbury, this estate, the management saying the crash just off their land but it has disrupted things. This road is still closed, because accident investigators are still going through the wooded area just off the plane out of sight. In scene investigators on the air accident investigation bragg going to bits of wreckage, bagging of these and taking them away because examination. The fire service also involved in that examination and police still here. Conditions are not great. It is pretty wet and miserable. Their work is slow and painstaking anyway and the conditions certainly will not be helping. The area of which the wreckage is spread, we have seen pictures from our helicopter which shows that wreckage scattered throughout the woodland, heavily dense wooded area. The chancellor investigators putting together all the evidence that will lead them to work out exactly because discretion the challenge for investigators. We know four people lost their lives. Some of the eyewitnesses we spoke to add as described a noise and then seeing two objects following from the sky and crash landing in the woods just behind there. Much more for the investigators to do to work out what went wrong here. I know you will keep us today throughout the date on anything coming out of this scene there. Thank you. Large numbers of volunteers are helping Dorset Police continue their search for gaia pope the 19 year old who went missing 11 days ago. In recent days, three people have been arrested on suspicion of murdering the teenager, but all of them have been released as investigations continue. The search is focused on an area north of swanage, where items of clothing thought to belong to gaia were found on thursday. Large numbers of people who get the new benefit universal credit to top up their low incomes face a difficult christmas. I beg your pardon, we can actually go to james i beg your pardon, we can actually go tojames bingham. I beg your pardon, we can actually go to james bingham. Desperately sad times with the family. Yes, very difficult but i think they will be buoyed by the support they are receiving to date. You can see behind me there is a large crowd gathering ready to start searches organised by friends and family of gaia. About to get underwayjust after midday. Here two other points around the town of swanage as well. With me is gaias sister, clara. What are you hoping to do here today . We want a mass search at all three points that you mentioned, the country park, and two car parks. Hoping to get lines of searches as best as possible, with guidelines on a certain section of map covering right and to walking down fairly near where her clothes were found and hopefully the lines of searchers will mean more people are more eyes oii will mean more people are more eyes on the ground and be able to cover every inch of ground that has not been yet seen. He talked about gaias codes being found and clearly that was a big setback for you and the rest of the family, but you still hope you can find her . Actually it wasnt a setback at all, shockingly, knowing that that was impossible place she could have been, or even having some kind of lead as to what has gone on. It was a very distressing time for us, but at the same time positive in that we have some lead up to so many days of having literally nothing. You cant go anywhere in swanage without seeing posters of her face, also leaflets. You pleased with how the community is responding to your calls for help . The community has been amazing and i am beyond grateful. I cannot express my gratitude towards them. I have been involved pretty much every night with community searches as well, door to door, pretty much every house in swanage in coordination with the police to give them posters and give them other information, to search their gardens, sheds, missing girls tend to wander statistically, it is very likely that gaia could be there or back at any point. It has been such an unusual missing person inquiry, because there has been the arrest, the police suspecting she has come to harm, but you are a storm in the hope that searching is the way forward. By no means is the missing persons investigation dropped by the police either. The Murder Investigation is running very much alongside that and they are open to every possibility, as are we. We are choosing to believe that a Murder Investigation isjust a formality and that she is alive and safe and we will find her. Thank you for joining safe and we will find her. Thank you forjoining us and i hope the search goes well. You can hear clara derek, emotional words. The rest of the family very hopeful, police concerns that gaia has come to harm, these people hope she will be found alive. Lets hope so. Thank you very much for now. Large numbers of people who get the new benefit universal credit to top up their low incomes face a difficult christmas. The government has confirmed to the bbc that thousands of weekly wage earners will see their benefit stopped during the Festive Season through no fault of their own, but simply because of the workings of the calendar. Earlier i spoke to the presenter of radio 4s moneybox programme, paul lewis. I asked him how many people would be affected by this. They have been quibbling about the numbers today. We said it was probably up to 100000 and they think it might be purer than that, but tens of thousands is definitely right. If it affects you it doesnt really matter how many others are affected. The reason is this. Universal credit is worked out on a monthly basis, a calendar monthly basis. But people who are paid weekly, we think that this almost half of those on universal credit, the dwp says it might be more like a quarter. The people paid weekly, you can have four or five paydays in the month, and that means your income in that month is very different. It is a month with five paydays, then you will certainly see a reduction in your universal credit and in most cases we believe it will disappear altogether. December is a month with five fridays, which will probably affect all these people who are getting their money this month that they are paid weekly, so it is a lot of people. So their money goes over the minimum amounts which they each month get paid for universal credit. Topping up the paper people in work. The next time this happens is much and it happens to four times a year. Four times a year. We have had a response from the government, have you had an indication from the government that they consider this to bea government that they consider this to be a problem . This is how it works and they made it very clear. It isa works and they made it very clear. It is a monthly benefit and they think most people in work are paid monthly and that may or may not be true. Is it any understanding from the government that the people on low incomes this is important money and a six week delay in getting back on universal Credit System is going to be very problem problematic. If people whose benefit people will have to reclaim but they are not subject to that same waiting period, the famous six weeks, 44 or 45 days normally, because it is a reclaim within six months. They cannot tell whether they will get it immediately, after exactly one month whether they will have to wait a month and a week, we dont know that yet. But they will certainly have to wait and they have to reclaim it and that means going online, but all these people will have easy access to the internet and they have to do it at the library or relatives so it isa it at the library or relatives so it is a difficult process. This problem exists, the numbers that dwp is arguing about at the moment. Look at the headlines on bbc news. Mike tens of thousands of people are on the streets of the zimbabwean capital harare and other cities across the country calling for the resignation of president Robert Mugabe. Richard leonard is the newly elected scottish labour leader, he replaces Kezia Dugdale who stepped down in august. Police and air accident investigators are searching for clues as to why two aircraft collided over buckinghamshire, leaving four people dead. The lebanese Prime Minister, saad hariri, is in france wheres he met president macron. He travelled there from saudi arabia and said it was a lie to say that he had been held by the saudi authorities against his will. He handed in his resignation two weeks ago. There are reports that mr hariri has told lebanons president michael aoun that he expects to be back in beirut by wednesday. Our correspondent Hugh Schofield in paris has more on whats been it seems there has been successful french mediation in this crisis. Mr hariri has come to france after mr macron as had intensive discussions on the telephone and in person with the saudi, and the result seems to be that mr hariri is not going directly back to beirut, which would have been seen as a bit of a climb down, excessive climb down by the saudis, but he is coming to paris, seen as some kind of Decompression Chamber in this crisis, with a view presumably what the french expect, then going back to beirut and that is what will be under discussion no doubt at this lunch. As you havejust under discussion no doubt at this lunch. As you have just said the lebanese president has said he expects mr hariri back next wednesday which is Independence Day in lebanon. That seems to be a growing confidence in lebanon but the resignation of mr hariri was a temporary measure, that he is going back, but we willjust have to see. Maybe he will go back and resubmit his resignation or maybe he will try and form a new government. We just dont know. That is what will be subject of discussion here today but also in the days ahead between the saudis, lebanese, different factions and the french, macron very assertive Foreign Policy trying to mediate it further. 90 mps about a third of them conservatives have signed a letter to the Prime Minister and chancellor to say that patients are being failed by the nhs and social care in england. The politicians who signed the letter including nearly 30 former ministers are calling for parties to Work Together to find a solution. Our Health Editor hugh pym reports. The pressure on the nhs is growing. There are fears that hospitals will continue to struggle to find enough beds to admit new patients, partly because of difficulties discharging elderly patients, caused in turn by problems with social care. A group of mps now says that a long term Sustainable Settlement is needed and that only a cross party nhs and Care Convention can deliver that. In the letter written to the Prime Minister and the chancellor, the mps say. Senior conservative, labour and liberal democrat backbenchers are among those who signed the letter. I think the nhs and social care are huge issues for our generation and weve got to get it right and i think its bigger than just one party. The mps also call for action in next weeks budget to address the short term pressures on the system. A Government Spokesperson said it was recognised there was broad agreement across parliament, that social care reform was a priority, and th
