By bryan thomas a very warm welcome to the show zimbabwe is confronting an uncertain future after the army intervened in the succession to president Robert Mugabe the ninety three year old is under house arrest right now as the army patrols the streets many in the country are hoping the military will make good on its promise for political change. The army stresses this isnt a coup but with tanks and military vehicles blocking off parliament and government buildings in the capital harare it sure looks like one. And the coup is something the rest of the African Union has said it will not accept. If indeed. You know we in the African Union are against any violent government overthrow. Issued a statement saying the army should retreat and return to constitutional order. We support the legitimate zimbabwean government and in no case of good will we accept a forceful seizure of power but of course the fate of president Robert Mugabe and his wife grace is unclear but they appear to be in the custody of the military who say the couple are safe the armys intervention comes after months of power wrangling over who will succeed ninety three year old mugabe who has ruled the country since one thousand nine hundred eighty last week mugabe fired Vice President emerson one ghagra he was widely viewed as the hair apparent and backed by some of the countrys most powerful generals that sacking seemed to clear the path for grace mugabe to become the next in line now the military has stopped her ascent at least temporarily and an Influential Group of war veterans once stunts mugabe supporters themselves is calling for him to step aside completely where. The robot governor so the bit cord from is a role as the president and first. Appear. Frustration has been growing in zimbabwe it used to be wealthy but thirty seven years of mugabes rule have left the economy in tatters and the question of who will take over to try and repair it has now been thrown wide open. Lets go straight to zimbabwe now where correspondent privilege most on here is standing by for us in the capital harare. First off you know the military is now firmly in control of course in the country will it as many hope put forward a transitional government. That is all dependent on negotiations that are happening now. You find that you know. The situation that we are in full mission is to get what were getting is just. You know rumors that are coming out that front and it was yes and theres a transitional strategies that is being met out but prism got it. May not be you know in defeat of the Transitional Authority that is being negotiated currently. This sadiq team the team from president zuma that was cindy just last night is in zimbabwe and we are yet to hear what is come out of the discussions that the i have been but it is that local that people are having that after these exercises that theyre saying is doing to clean. You know elements that were surrounding president robot and got it these will be every ten to the traditional order ok you mentioned a Political Team sent by south africa to harare to defy also and more on that what role is south africa taking now in this crisis. Currently president jacob zuma used. The chip ison use the car and said the chip isnt so the team that you sent us that we hear that hes going to fix finding mission you have to speak to both sides of the i me and president Robert Mugabe and get in understanding. What his situation with i mean if you had to intervene and then. There will brief. The chit this sunday to today we also understand these going to be this sad that troika meeting you know got it right and this said that it has to discuss about this is about the situation ok now one of the key players in this drama is of course mugabe is long time deputy and the countrys Vice President emerson gaga as we heard in our report now he was recently fired hes fled the country could he be playing a future political role. Its not yet clear. You know where it is been that. They planned the. Lake the war veterans when they had their press conference yesterday they want him back and theyre courting for their easter ration all the. Really big or the people that were expelled from senate beer in the past years since two thousand and fourteen before the desire to be of Extraordinary Congress that is coming up in december so we might see a muslim in and out were coming back. To watch rule then you really. Wanted to play it but. He is the favorite to be you know who didnt listen to trance hes now arrangement that would be made but then. Since he had been fired from government and he had been fired from their party i dont know how to plan out. Of this race and because of a very briefly if you could whats the situation out on the streets right now is it going to remain calm yes it is calm. People are being made to go about their normal business but do you you know you can describe it as tense and calm because it is never happy that you have tanks on the streets. Or a war you know in another part of this is the city is in in zimbabwe where you have. Been in presence of all things therefore he is found to be tense privilege must be on harry for us and harare this morning thanks very much. Now for a look at some of the other stories making the news today the this five hundred year old painting by the italian master Leonardo Da Vinci has shattered all records in the our world known as salvador money the savior of the world it sold for four hundred fifty Million Dollars becoming the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction its the only one of twenty known paintings by davinci belonging to a private collector. Greece is declared a day of National Mourning after severe flooding neurons left at least fourteen people dead more heavy rains are expected today Officials Say the death toll could rise as crews searched the flooded homes. At least three thousand demonstrators gathered in the austrian capital vienna to protest against a possible Government Coalition that includes the far right Freedom Party so far talks between the conservative Peoples Party and the Freedom Party have yielded commitments to cut taxes and reduce migrant welfare benefits. Well here in germany it is crunch time for wood for a would be government as a deadline for exploratory talks between Coalition Partners ends on a limb ackles conservatives have been trying to thrash out a deal with the democrats on the greens but the socalled Jamaica Coalition has hit a number of obstacles in a moment well be talking to our correspondent if a deal can be done at all first lets take a look at the problems for the parties to solve their party colors may reflect those of the jamaican flag but germanys conservatives greens and free democrats dont match up so nicely when it comes to forming a coalition. Jamaica is not going to be a walk in the park will be a tough experiment and some of the explorations participants still havent properly adjusted their compass even so they seem to be on the same path in at least a few areas theres little disagreement on Foreign Policy with compromises reached over how to deal with difficult partners. And all agree that Affordable Housing is urgently needed and requires investment. Theres also consensus on the right to extended child care for Elementary School children as well as increased support for families. And the parties see the need for a label indicating fair treatment of animals but theres no prospect of a transformation of Agricultural Policy as demanded by the greens. The clock is ticking and the parties are still miles apart on other issues. Issues like climate protection the greens want a rapid shutdown of coal fired power plants. But the conservatives and free democrats are against it even though that would mean americal misses her own climate targets. Through this in the us. We know that germanys a country that still uses a large amount of coal and so it has to make a considerable contribution in order to fulfil these goals figuring out exactly how to do that is something that we will have to discuss together precisely in the coming days. Transportation policy is another contentious issue and the Combustion Engine has been struck off the list much to the dismay of the greens they say theyre not prepared to make any further concessions. We must retrofit diesel powered vehicles in a way that sort of quietly effective we wont be able to get around any Hardware Solutions so the Auto Industry as the cause of the problem cant simply washed its hands of paying for the hardware changes. But the biggest hurdle to a coalition is the subject of migration and especially whether to allow family members to join those already here something the federal government has suspended for two years. Refugee organizations closely allied with the greens are up in arms. We expect the same of the Jamaica Coalition as we would have every other federal government that they respect refugees fundamental and human rights and not violate them that means that neither the c. D. U. Nor the f. T. P. Nor the greens must be allowed to make bad compromises such as with the immigration of family members. But which tradeoffs can the parties agree on how many compromises will they be able to swallow while still looking their supporters in the eyes. While a lot at stake and still a lot of differences following these talks for us is our correspondent report video of all rupert have the parties involved come any closer together. Mean just look at yesterday i would say no the made any progress yet only on the tl details for instance they have agreed yesterday on how much money they will spend as a government but they havent reached any agreement on on how they are going to spend it though of course of the big obstacles we have already seen in the report that is an a g on climate protection that is mobility and the call for an end to Combustion Engines within personal vehicles and of course of the right for refugees for two family reunions and these are the big obstacle to that have been on the table for the last three weeks when now there they havent reached an agreement yet and they have to reach an agreement today on the night to tomorrow if they want to form a go go listen government ok its not just these huge obstacles there are real tensions right now between the bavarian right wing of the conservatives the c. S. U. And the greens lets take a listen to a comment from a leading green. On the unit goshi eight and stop the general attacks on other parties radically well ill have to believe that these gentlemen dont want to see constructive and successful negotiations at all if thats the case they should say so. Im very motional ventra trashman there his state premier of the powerful rich state above. Are the conservatives as hes indicating there the some at least wanting these negotiations to fail. Well what he is referring to especially remarks made by members of the sea is you which is the bavarian part of the variances the party of angloamerican c. D. U. Party and this is you who has its own issues they have an ongoing toggled power struggle seize use chief and state premier of very a whole see hoover is most likely to have to give up some of his power after these talks over these seas you are they also facing state election and the very next year the very as more important to them than anything on the federal level and they have seen some losses during the last elections and they want to help or they need and most decisive for them is a big majority in the very end thats more important to them than anything else i get people here in germany are of course getting very impatient with all of this how likely is it that were going to see an agreement tonight. Well there are some voices within the negotiations that already said. But if we lift the deadline perhaps you should go on negotiation to go on with the negotiations but on the other side you have to see that these talks have been going on for three weeks now and if the deadline would have would be lifted the pressure would be lifted that would mean that all the greens meant all agreements that have already been met that they also already will be what beyond in the open again so i dont think that this is going to help at all so i think we are going to see a very long night and then we will see if there is going to be an agreement on not revert thanks so much for preview to evolve all in the talks for us today why have more on the. This is news live from berlin zimbabwe facing an uncertain future that after a military intervention set in motion the endgame for president Robert Mugabe after almost four decades in power and the country make a peaceful transition to
