To south africa now where the top court has ruled that parliament failed to hold president jacob zuma to account the scandal over house improvements which cost millions of dollars last year the court concluded zuma violated violated the constitution when he benefited inappropriately from state funding for his residence the opposition has renewed its calls for the president to be impeached as one of a series of president ial scandals that have tarnished the reputation of the Ruling African National congress while in two thousand and nine it was revealed almost five billion dollars were being spent on upgrades to the property there were meant to improve security at the compound of the costs later sought in two thousand and fourteen an independent report found some of the upgrades included luxury add ons like a Swimming Pool and Visitor Center it ordered zuma to pay back some of the money for last year the Constitutional Court found zuma breached the constitution by ignoring the reports findings zuma apologize and promise to repay the money owed tanya page has the latest 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 however 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 you 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 old timothy that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing African National Congress Holds the majority and so be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment.

South korea has confirmed that seized and inspected a hong kong where distant ship which is suspected of supplying oil to north korea last month well south Koreas Foreign Ministry says its an example of pyongyang using Illegal Networks to get around un sanctions and blocking oil imports u. S. President donald trump has accused china of violating u. N. Sanctions and failing to stop oil supplies to pyongyang rob 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 a comparable blee 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. Now we are continuing with our special series that takes a look at the major stories of expecting to see and two thousand and eighteen the u. S. Midterm elections will take place in the van and they could have a major impact on Donald Trumps presidency all the seats in the u. S. House of representatives up for grabs and a republican defeat there with stole trumps legislative agenda reports. Donald trump has a lower Approval Rating than any other president in modern times at this point in their first terms of office and thats bad news for members of congress in his own Republican Party as they face the november twenty eighth teen midterm elections works its very helpful to have a popular president at the top of the ticket but with this point in pro rating and thirty years im not sure how much of a plus doll trump will be to set us faction with trump and the unpopularity of his tax cut legislation which is seen to benefit the wealthy has created a big Enthusiasm Gap between republican and democratic voters that was vividly on display in recent elections when a democrat won the virginia governors race and even more so when democrats turned out in large numbers to help the Democrat Doug Jones eke out a narrow win over accused child molester roy moore in the senatorial race in conservative alabama democrats are fired up we saw some significant Electoral Movement particularly among africanamericans a solid constituency for the Democratic Party but we werent sure that they would be enthusiastic in both of those contests they were very enthusiastic and the other group that weve been looking at in particular are White College graduates who see many of whom seem very disenchanted with. Many analysts believe democrats have a good chance of taking control of the house of representatives. Winning the senate is more difficult for democrats because many of them are defending seats in states which voted republican last year but even control of one house of congress would allow democrats to block trumps legislative agenda for the rest of his term ending in twenty twenty overshadowing the entire political scene is the investigation by special counsel Robert Muller of russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen president ial election if mohler is able to show collusion between the Trump Campaign and the kremlin it would be a political bombshell and a disaster for the president and his party robert oulds al jazeera los angeles.

The first system was developed in england in eight hundred thirty seven and would go on to change the world by nineteen hundred. Cable that connected all the different continents of the world and they with it was the first step to globalization radio t. V. Telephone that our world is basically built on the telegraph its hard to imagine but once these cumbersome machines were cutting ends technology very much the same way that computers were much later on they used the latest science of the day electromagnetism to point needles that letters in the alphabet to eventually spell out a word it was all down to how skilled the telegraph operator was using these handles. The technology created a certain style of writing a bit like modern Text Messages the word stop was used to indicate the end of a sentence senders also paid by the word leading to some resourceful ways of communicating the shortest telegram of the english language was sent by the writer and celebrated wit oscar wilde he was living in paris and sent a message to his publisher to see how his new book was doing the message simply read publisher responded later morse code was used to send telegraphic messages on april the fifteenth nine hundred twelve the ill fated titanic sent one of its last distress calls.
