South africas top court has ruled that parliament failed to hold president jacob zuma to account in a scandal over a multimillion dollar upgrades to his private home last year the court concluded that zuma had violated the constitution when he benefited in appropriately from state funding for his own candler home its one of a series of president ial scandals that have tarnished the reputation of this really African National congress tanya page has more from johannesburg. The Constitutional Court south africas highest court has found that the National Assembly thats parliament failed to take appropriate action against president jacob zuma and relation to gross overspending of text payers dollars on his private home called income for the Constitutional Court says the first thing that should happen is that the National Assembly needs to come up with a comprehensive list of rules and regulations which perhaps could lead to the impeachment of president zuma away but they didnt go so far as to say thats what should happen because that would be in breach of the separation of powers the opposition parties who brought this legal action were pleased with the outcome nonetheless the constitutional delinquent mr zuma in no time will be scrutinized will be brought before parliament to be accountable because his own Political Party has actually failed to hold him accountable and we can with the other day long we need to be in parliament in no less than did todays before the state of the nation address of twenty eight. In their defense president zuma and the speaker of parliament both said it wasnt true that the National Assembly had done nothing multiple votes of no confidence in president zuma have been held and they have all been defeated and thats what it comes down to its a matter of numbers in parliament because impeaching a president is a parliamentary process so even when there are rules in place that could lead to impeaching a president ultimately that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing African NationalCongress Holds the majority and so it be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment.

S. President donald trump has accused china or violating u. N. Sanctions against north korea by not sending oil supplies to pyongyang which china denies mcbride has more from beijing. China will not be happy with this latest criticism from President Trump coming in such a public stinging manner but its true to say that china has become used to dealing with the United States in a different way over the past year and has been accustomed to President Trumps tweets at the ministry of Foreign Affairs regular press briefing friday in beijing there was no specific reference or reply to this latest attack but the Spokes Person was asked about the allegations concerning this hong kong registered vessel seized in south korea for allegedly dealing in illicit oil with north korea the Ministry Said that it has been investigated to the chinese customs have no record of this vessel visiting a chinese port since august although it has no records of it whether it visited other ports as far as it knows the Chinese Government does not know of any Illicit Activity that this vessel has been involved in repeating that the Chinese Government is still very much committed to enforcing the u. N. Sanctions whether china has known about any trades that might be taking place its difficult to believe that any illegal activity or transfer of oil at sea could take place without chinas knowledge and it would fit with the general narrative of china quietly supporting the north korean regime not necessarily out of any loyalty to an old ally but really as a pragmatic measure to shore up the regime as far as china is concerned it comparable live with a Nuclear Armed north korea not an ideal situation but for china the unacceptable situation is a collapsing regime that still has access to Nuclear Warheads that for china is the worst case scenario.
