In the 3rd session of his corruption trial ousted president obama gave his 1st Statement Today judge. And admitted receiving 25000000. 00 from saudi arabias crown prince but said the money from him had been sold mine was a personal gift and that none was spent personally but given as donations for the judge denied his lawyers request for release on bail. The judge also formally indicted bashir of illicit financial gains and illegal possession of foreign currency his team of more than 120. 00 defense lawyers pleaded not guilty on his behalf. But they listen to the prosecutors and now its the turn of the fans now we have a chance to present all the evidence that show all the charges are baseless that we prove that the charges of illicit financial gains against the former president are not valid. Bashir was ousted by military leaders in early april after months of antigovernment protests there were sparks by rises in the price of bread and the poor state of the economy days after his overthrow millions of dollars were allegedly found in bashir is home in its worst of fates most of the laws that backed the charges against the former president were drafted during his 30 years in rule and they were passed by the former head of parliament they brought him up by her who is now head of the defense team the most recent laws were included in a state of emergency bashir declared in february when he banned anyone from possessing more than the equivalent of 3000. 00.

It was with the new find wealth that gadhafi intended to build a modern libya the arab world was in the midst of a wave of nationalism and the colonel had promised libyans a life of prosperity based on the principles of unfettered revolution a socialist based system for the masses but he had no clear vision for the Economic Development or political orientation of the country and for many years libya found itself isolated at times considered a pariah state it was only in the late 1990 s.

You know afghanistan the taliban is renowned for its violent repression of women now a new deal with the u. S. Could see the group return to power one o one a steamed vista gates of afghan women who paid the price the pace on aljazeera. Will look see. Its a contentious political issue in south africa at this time. After years of land reform most of the farmland still own by white farmers the government now considering a constitutional change that would allow it to expropriate land from white farmers without paying for. A map and yet to listen to them in town Hall Meetings such as this members of parliament have been giving South Africans an opportunity to voice their opinions about the proposed legislation today on talk draw jazeera we sit down with 2 farmers she may join us macaca a little on board shirts to get their personal views on this difficult subject. Thank you for the time mr mclachlan welcome to talk to aljazeera youre welcome you have had experience at the land bank in south africa specifically and decades ago you made the move to follow me why farming. Has been in my plot and its in the family. With the challenges of grading from us inside africa ive seen that its time. For us black people to come into farming and i wanted to make a difference one of the easiest way to access farming i imagine was through what the government implemented in terms of its Land Reform Program how did that work for you lend reform. In terms of the distribution sometimes in 2007 i approach the office of the department where i was looking for lent fortunate enough i have settled for the land in the valley it is a good area because of the rain for compared to where i was before fortunately. This Distribution Program its somehow helping us its good but there are some flops so we need as this is a journey we need to go on and solve these problems and what is you agreement with the government what has it allowed how is it allowed who successes with regard to your farming yes our government gave us or gave me a lease of 50 year period and reaches a sufficient period for one to get up and get to be commercialized and if you lease the land you dont own it other challenges in terms of securing funding. You very very very right the list agreement its limiting us as from us we need it to have title deeds title deeds will help us refresh approaching the banks to access fund. Because the banks in need of purity and collateral therefore its a disadvantage for farm us to have a 50 Year Lease Program what have you done to try and overcome those challenges you need resources you need capital to run the farm to grow your business what have you done to overcome some of the challenges because of the the lack of ownership i have approached banks ive approached agribusinesses fortunate enough through my the background of my Credit Report i managed to secure loans but the most loans that have been securing our production loans because the banks and agribusiness they want to secure the fun in tens of a long term or a medium term loans by way of registering a bonet wonder farm therefore i have been going on with my production low now you are in a position where youve been fortunate enough to get the type of funding that you require but is this something that isnt as exists a bill for many black farmers in south africa other challenges for for many other farmers yes there are many challenges as you know weve got different capacities reve different experience and. Even credit within this its not all farmers that are getting assistance from from a clip business therefore its isnt it time for government to step in they have stepped in but its not enough during our initial period of lease we there was an agreement that we need to produce a 5 year production plane. But unfortunately our government only assisted us on the feste trenches or the fest yeah therefore it makes life difficult for a farmer because he had planned for 5 years now that its no funding or debts no money that could take him through his whole Business Plan is that one of the Major Concerns that while government has to some extent assisted with regard to access to land through land reform and redistribution is government lacking in terms of how it gives supports to farmers is there enough support. Enough support so far. As as far as consent we need continuous support until its established now you cannot take a farmer halfway or just introduce him into this wilderness and then leave him out we need support so given some of the challenges that youve experienced what then are your thoughts on what government is doing around moves to expropriate land from people in south africa without compensation its causing a big thing and uncertainty on commission from us and this is also a threat to Food Security in our country because most of what we are consuming and food even export they come from commission from me and if the government its not prepared to boost and help us as black from us as coming up coming from us then we cannot be helped to transform by a group of commissioner from us. Currently white commissioner from us we should be able to feed our nation as africans as black people. The issue of expropriation without compensation is one in south africa that has become quite polarizing and one thats also been racialized do you see it in that way is this an issue around black people black farmers against white farmers is that the simplistic approach to is there more to it for you i support len expropriation but on specific issues or on specific lent weve got lent that can be expropriated in terms of housing in dens of industrious infrastructure or not a blanket cover that every family will be. His family subject to expropriation so that must be diminished and that it too must be given to all farmers and commercial and up coming from us that that government its not a me at taking farms and clipping the farms so the from us need to be a short and if you assure them. Assure that the government because its a responsibility of government to feed the nation therefore we need to go back into the land and work and government must support us do you ever any concern around what white farmers are perhaps calling. A targeted approach to land reform that they stand to lose and this is also around skills their contribution to the economy and that they feel victimized as white people in south africa this is the time where white commercial farmers must come on bot. They shouldnt be. Like a species that descend bench that they must be part of the whole and reform and the mindset need to change this is our country we are living here all of us want we must pull together and then find a solution to the whole thing. Lee on board runs a farm that has been in his familys name since 1948 lend reform access to land and Land Ownership in south africa are things that the government that South Africans is a trying to navigate through do you believe that lender forms should take place in that the majority of commercial farming land is in the hands of a whites minority population differently that is affect we all know that what is also affected what farming communities ageing repartee i think the average farmer today in south africa is just over 60 years with it 60 to 63 are there no so we need new entrants into this market we need interns obviously of black farmers we never disputed that and i think its very important we also need new young white farmers part of possible the main thing that i foresee in theres a major problem for ourselves in organize their culture is the way all the prochoice that the government has that of a town we dont think its been done very professional theres a lot lot of scope for improvement and really is only as agricultural to do like to help the government in this theres a lot of challenges and we can chat about it all day but i think the government has not made it such a priority in their plans and theres also been a lot of corruption that a lot of the money has disappeared that was supposed to get to the farm on the ground and that has never happened what is it about land exposed creation without compensation that has been promised what is it about that that you dont agree with i agree with it the only thing the way theyve done it it creates policy uncertainty that is affected the value of land and i would say 90 percent 95 percent of farmers in south africa this land is bonded to. The banks who borrow money from it to fix us negatively because weve got a policy uncertainty banks on willing to borrow a form of land because obviously the risk is increased but so the farmers risk increase and that is that a negative effect in the end of the day that a lot of farmers have stopped expanding if are now im going to be expropriated tomorrow i wont invest a 1000000 or 2000000 or 3000000 and millions pharma spend a lot of money had spent a lot of money in the pot in investments and that is come down rapidly and severely so the investment into an even the figures from the department of statistics showing that farmers have stopped investing in the farms and when used actually stop expanding at the end of the day you actually moving backwards are you worried that your land will be exposed print that insists is that commercial farmers with the taking this action will not be expropriated. I dont believe a politician so im worried theres nobodys going to give mary that certainty because some politician can
