International observers have appealed for calm after Security Forces killed six protesters last night today police raided the headquarters of the Opposition Movement for Democratic Change.

Just a day earlier so she has cracked down on the protests in the capital harare
a period of about four days so really the only thing the time in which they must make their announcement these claims of rigging is. Clearly superposition or the fix on the ground ok but we have to mention just to counter that that International Observers theyve also urged you to to release the results a bit earlier because there has been tension in the country id like to talk a little more about that tension because you know youve been on television today a bit earlier and id like to talk about something you said you blamed the opposition for yesterdays deadly violence and id like to ask you if thats fair because there are reports that the military used to live ammunition to disperse the protesters and people are dead today. I was not present so i cannot respond on behalf of the military what i will the noise that. The m. D. C. The m. D. C. Alliance. Actually terrorizing people the actually damage to our parted

Counted to see their political elections will tend to be inconceivable and and reasonable for anyone to think that we could win two thirds majority in the political election and then proceed to lose the position election it is quite clear that just going by that logic alone we must have won the position election but we are waiting for the sick to confirm Paul Monk Wanna spokesperson for zimbabwe zanu p. F. Party we thank you so much for joining us this evening a tense time there in your country and we thank you so much for sharing your view on the situation. Thank you. Thanks lets turn to some other news now because the European Union is marking romaHolocaust Memorial day and remembrance of the Hundreds Of Thousands of sent roma murdered by the nazis and hispanics European CommissionVice President to monks said that since he and roma people still face racism and hatred on a daily basis indeed recent weeks roma people in ukraine have found themselves under attack from right wing groups one man was stabbed to death in front of his Wife Connelly traveled to Western Ukraine to speak with his widow and two other victims of violence. This is how we do it began in april twenty eighth far right huge mountains protect the roma count the Ukrainian Capital Kiev copycat attacks soon followed across the country in late june twenty three year Old David Pop was stabbed more than a dozen times in the western city of movie if his death provoked an outcry inside and outside ukraines borders the teenage suspect
a noun custody but how could this have been allowed to happen and what has become the survivors. Where in the village where david pappa grew up from here its just a matter of kilometers to ukraines Western Frontier with hungry its a backyard the region is home to ukraines biggest rent a Community Many of them live in extreme poverty since the attacks people here have become wary of strangers and its only with the help of pasta filled your photographs that we are allowed in to take says to me david perhaps we do you know yes its the first time shes spoken publicly about her husbands murder. He said when those teenagers came to attack our camp they didnt say a word they just started going at us with their nods i beg them there are children here but they just started attacking us even more viciously my husband was lying dead in front of me after that i lost consciousness. On the day of our visit the boy received a call in the Police Interview asking her to testify in court she refused the fish
she says was too great since the attacks police have responded to requests from Community Leaders to step up their patrols and roam a district. Court about the Roma Community leader and a local councillor in the past most of his work was about Helping Burma People Gain access to basic Government Services many here dont even have a Birth Certificate let alone a passport but in recent months hes been confronted with a totally new set of problems as the victims of the attacks come to him looking for support. I dont understand where this hatred comes from weve never seen anything like this kind of open discrimination these kinds of attacks or action what we need to get around to solving the roma communities problems now are not just kick the can down the road. Miroslav takes us on a visit to rob a bank or a Roma Community on the edge of the shadow. There we meet claro
a survivor of one of the attacks in libya. These old people and children they smashed my brother in laws head in and just left him for dead but i dont want the attackers to go to prison prison doesnt make people any better they were just kids after all thats up it. Up the day its a Point Of View we hear time and time again whether people here are ready to forgive or simply fear further escalation we cant get a clear answer as we continue our walk through red bunker with miroslav the atmosphere suddenly turns theres been a break in the local church and. Suspicion this fall and the inhabitants would disapprove the community will move so if he wants them theyll give it all back. Someone broke into the church. So you have pictures. We never do find out how the Investigation Ends but now the police leave iraq and go without making any arrests
at a time when the Roma Community needs the police to protect the most never relations to the enforcement attempts remote places mission. And its not just in ukraine that roma and sinti people face discrimination for more on this lets bring in George Yvonne of each hes the president of the European Roma Rights Center and he joins us now from novi. And george as we just heard there we just saw documentation of violence against Sinti And Roma and ukraine what can you tell us about the situation for these groups in other countries. The reports from ukraine but from other countries are well give us a lot of war is that. Raise in europe we see very high official from european Member States government giving statements in which they openly promote and support them as an example in the book area of fashions that is convinced on the anti hate crime against roma for calling them animals get to be
a deputy Prime Minister of the country and as the biggest irony he gets to run the National Council for the integration of minorities including those people that he called animals at the same time italian interior minister silvio calls for the Roma Act Next census promises cleaning of feet. Of their own a presence openly express regret that he context felt italian. Because they are protected as italian citizens in such a Political Climate we see that a direct consequence is that human rights and even the rule of law is not respected last week we had a perfect example of that in rome where the local of. Around Three Hundred roma on the street from their houses providing gold tentative accommodation and aghast actually the order of the European Court of human rights which says that dispy
people can be weak that so the discrimination as youve articulated there exists not only on the streets but also in the halls of government and id like to know because you obviously study this would you say that its increasing yes and as i said yes in last year and this year we actually see dead. Creasing in whole europe. So what needs to be done to counteract that to combat discrimination. So what my organization is doing is litigation so we take our asses to the courts we five for respect of human rights and rule of flow but this can be done in this elation because as we saw in this example of the word the authorities you can order a direct order of the European Court of human rights that show us actually that whole European Union has to change the European Union has to insist on all its members to respect European Values and that means respecting minorities including
those most vulnerable like koroma because you know the most European Countries actually develop a very nice papers on Integration Policies for roma what is missing is actually a real implementation and a real political will to the roma and not using them as cave goats for the populace statements so how do you build that political well well you know and your goal which is to promote equality for city and around what do you see as the main challenges we need to do to promote equality we need to promote understanding between people we need to understand why someone is different why someone has a different Life Experience and we need to work to raise awareness of this long lasting Youth Discrimination of roma which exist since they came to this. Continent and are lost a long lasting discrimination is actually one of the main reasons why we still see so many differences between roma and non roma in our earth societies judge of out of it president of the european realm of rights thank you so much for joining us thank you. Well now its over to Helen Humphrey and were talking about a Major Business milestone it absolutely is a moment of history of course sara on thursday apple became the First Company to be valued at one trillion dollars now the i phone Makers Market capitalization briefly pos the market kind of challenging to actually visualize this enormous number with well thirteen digits not just to get an idea of that massive some apple is worth almost as much as indonesias g. D. P. Which stood just above one trillion in twenty seventeen if someone who want to spend one trillion dollars ill give it a go they could buy more than one billion brand new i phone tens those start at Nine Hundred And Ninety nine dollars in the United States i want to bring in safety shipments here on this now our correspondent on wall street and sophie many people say that the success of our poll is also down to the fact that it can enforce high prices were essentially i mean were addicted to off. How long can the company keep that up. Yeah i think thats a crucial question has been that the i phone a really any Apple Product has always been more than just a laptop or a phone and it is still after that day if Status Symbol design used to play a big role as well and apple has had the reputation of the number one visionary in the industry back then with steve jobs even more
a bit in the past fierce competitors have caught up and offered just as advance products for less money and in some quarters the numbers have shown signs of slowing demand for i phones maybe not every quarter but cook is getting the Company Ready by focusing on services and turn them into a more important source of income but then again according to the earnings we saw this week consumers are just as willing as ever to purchase high priced products so maybe the psychology basically is still working for apple here and let me quote a Morgan Stanley analyst who says that Innovation Led to price increases historically boost apple demand lets look at this in regards to the Bigger Picture that so you see what will the trade will mean for. Well first of all china is a very important market for apple china revenue has been rocketing on strength i phone ten the company has just reported nine point Five Billion Dollars in revenue
that came from china making for a nineteen percent jump since this time last year on a call with investors after the quarter Earnings Report investors expressed concern that the recent round of proposed tariffs could impact apples market share in china but the c. E. O. Always emphasized the companys position that terrorists can have Unintended Consequences for consumers and the economy but he did not say whats the any mpeg the new set of tariffs on Two Hundred Billion Dollars and good could have on Apple Products and then i would like to remind you off the special treatment President Trump has granted tim cook when he said that the u. S. Government would not levy tariffs on i phones assembled in china so i would say so far at least investors on wall street and wall street are not too worried here so he should be for us in new york so he thank you. Chinas Foreign Ministry says it wont be blackmailed as the u. S. Turns up the pressure in that Terrorist Disputes with the as you called for an conference rather getting underway in Singapore Asian nations already preparing their Contingency Plans and searching also trading partner. A Free Trade Agreement signed by sixteen Asian Countries by the end
