Now south africas top court says parliament has failed to hold president jacob zuma accountable over allegations of corruption the courts ruling follows its conclusion last year that zuma violated the constitution when he used state money to upgrade his private home the course is up to parliament to come up with the right laws to deal with such violations page is live for us in johannesburg time explaining this court ruling was just what we expected to hear. Well in the way i suppose the opposition parties have come to the Constitutional Court this countrys heart. Fortunately we lost communications with tanya that in johannesburg so i have to move on to the next story. The greek government has been struggling with a weak economy and unemployment is now is having to find jobs for nearly a ride refugees the problem has been made worse because some nations have refused to resettle some of them but one group thinks refugees could help quote greeces economy or its labor force. Language class for this group of refugees in northern greece jason from it live in syria has decided to seek asylum here they all need greek anyway because hell be here for months or even years so slow is the bureaucracy. Jason said he wants to study and maybe become a hairdresser. But hes open to suggestions for work. Across his country similar scenes are happening the rest of europe has decided the greece can cope more or less greece has got a big problem the economist on the whole. And at the same time greece is having to deal with the brunt of the refugee influx and the european quota system for sharing them out has fallen apart completely so is the big question if theres not enough jobs for greeks then what to expect refugees to do. In the absence of any other to any other bright ideas some people here have decided to celebrate the new arrivals farmer demetrius makes some dried tomatoes and grows herbs but he has a problem his village like hundreds of others has shrunk by half since the economic crisis as a young people moved away their empty houses here waiting for families to move in to breathe new life into the community hed love nothing more than refugees from rural syria to help him out you think you can help each other yes if we do it many thinks together. So the idea came from a local organization working with refugees it argues that greeces economic crisis could be partly solved by the refugee influx not cheap labor but cooperative farms giving the new arrivals an economic stake and encourage them to stay refugees that used to be in areas on their original country or they have experience in farming we think that they can also assist the locals and the locals going to see them in developing the future for both in the camps its becoming clear what happens when refugees cant access the jobs market a groups are warning of a huge spike in drug abuse by refugees stuck for years in a shipping container cannabis is sold alongside fruit on the roadside of the noses of the police of the camp. Male refugees selling their bodies has become common as well they are buying the drugs they are the. People using heading also. In the camp and they are just because theyre players and just because they dont have any hope they think here these last life of. Their life. They dont have any hope many greeks here claim refugees get special treatment while theyre left to suffer in poverty and their life in the camps hardly looks generous there are apparently no greeks to work the fields in this Agricultural Land and to grow the economy its only one idea but maybe theyre starting to realise you can make a virtue out of a crisis Lawrence Leigh aljazeera in northern greece ok lets take you back now to our top story that attack on a church south of cairo so far we know to have killed at least five people there is a middle east analyst joins us now ahead in the scene as a little bit scant at the moment but doesnt it more about what youve been hearing. Well i mean it was expected something expected i mean in a country with leadership always talk about talks about the vengeance not justice its only expected to see the worst if we talk about vengeance every time Something Like this happens then we should expect more. Vengeance only begets more blood do you think responsible for toxic these ones a lot of elements it was in the society that could think you know crazy and could you know give us an example of like like simple ignorant people i mean not necessarily the traditional kind of terrorists that we always talk about but people who were made to be crazy im not justifying what happened of course its a crime the same crime that happened last month when some attackers attacked appraising moslems and killed more than three hundred. I mean before me doesnt of course the numbers count but but for me the principle is the same i mean killing one innocent people is the same like killing three hundred people but what makes people that crazy that sick mind to make such such is sinister things like he miss crimes i mean relations like that between christians and muslims in egypt you know ten percent of the part of the population being christian. The two religions generally assimilate together today mix of a they generally ok or is there a lot of anger between this im a gyptian myself and i grew up in a society in a society with no differences between muslims and christians i was raised by a Christian Family myself and im sure the millions of muslims who had the same experience through the life of me we weve always had good relations together. I threw up my career i did a lot of good things for the christian the egyptian Christian Church of the church so its its not actually its not a matter of of. Religious divides the divide this is i think all these divisions were made up some whipping least some unwittingly by the leadership again when the leadership. In hand says those differences within this is for political ends we should expect the worst again let me let me talk about certain you know in seconds i mean when you find the country where the best intelligentsia. Thrown behind walls the prisons in prisons just for voicing a different opinion what do you expect in a society like this when you see the leadership. Try and imprisoning innocent people who take out to the street in protestant protesting given up their own lands for for another country and then accuse them of having foreign allegiances was Foreign Countries what do you expect in a country like this you should only expect the worst ok thanks very much for coming in and.
