S. And 200000 homes are without power the storm is now a category one and how they can but coastal areas of North Carolina and virginia remain on alert as it moves northeast and gallacher has the latest from charleston South Carolina. Well Hurricane Dorian has finally moved off the u. S. East coast after briefly making landfall in North Carolina and the outer banks there is taking a north east course that takes it away from all the states that were in danger for so many days remember the storms lots of for almost 2 weeks since it 1st formed about 200000 homes in north and South Carolina have lost power theyre expected to get it back fairly quickly because there was no damage to the infrastructure of a basically hurricane during after spending days crawling up the u. S. East coast to spend almost everybody there was no damage in florida not in georgia very minor damage here in South Carolina or North Carolina pretty much dodged a bullet as well so the Emergency Services working on restoring power there are still warnings in place in places like virginia but ultimately the storm is now headed to canada or nova scotia where its expected to hit landfall as a category one storm in about 2 days in the bahamas the final toll from huntington dorian is expected to rise significantly the baja many and Prime Ministers describe it as a historic tragedy the u. N. Says more than 75000 people are in need of food and other aid but the apollo has more from treasure key. Were on track youre here on the island of abaco which is one of the northernmost places of the bahamas and certainly one of the worst hit areas by Hurricane Dorian again this was a category 5 hurricane wind gust up work of 350 Kilometers Per Hour and it took 36 hours for that storm could make it across abaco make it across grand bahama i want to give you a sense of where we are right now were sitting right on the tarmac of it airstrip that was just cleared only a few days ago on wednesday so airplanes are just now starting to arrive to evacuate people off of this island we visited mark harbor which is just about an hour east of here and its absolute devastation its about as bad as hurricane damage yet decimated upwards of 13000. 00 homes that were completely destroyed. So what were seeing here you see behind me these are rescue teams that have just arrived on the island of treasury there are there are people behind those rescue teams that are waiting for their turn many of them fled here on the tarmac last night there waiting for their turn for their opportunity to get a flight and even though there are concerns that there will be shortages of color shortages of medicine as well as sort of this a rather the 1000000 priority right now apart from search and rescue for the people that are still unaccounted for the main priority is just getting these hundreds of people off of this island many of them desperate to get off the island and investigations being launched in several u. S. States some for the facebook is stifling competition and putting its users at risk they want to toss probe is being led by the new York State Attorney general as part of a wider confess to geisha of major Digital Companies into whether they engage in anti competitive practices my condo has more from washington d. C. Most of those investigations are federal investigations that are being carried out in a number of companies particularly google and facebook but this particular move that was announced by the new York Attorney general in the course of the day is different to the number of states coming together the attorneys general from at least 8 states who are coming together to jointly probe the activities of facebook at this particular stage now the significance of this is that it is a bipartisan investigation facebook would be unable to say that there are political motivations behind such an investigation now the new York Attorney general outlining the probe has said that its going to be focusing on facebooks dominance in the market and the way in which the starman and squid be misused it is going to look at facebooks use of consumer data about whether it is responsible for the increase in the cost of advertising so its a widely spread very significant investigation the last time a Major Investigation an antitrust investigation such as this was done on this basis was concerning microsoft 2 decades ago when attorneys general came together to launch a bipartisan investigation so a significant move indeed the u. S. Economy added 130000 jobs last month thats fewer than expected experts say president Donald Trumps trade war with china may be to blame alan fischer has more from washington. Its a growing company one of the fastest in its state one of the fastest in the country but with most of the production centered in china everything has taken a hit because of Donald Trumps trade war thats put a hold on investment and on hiring were confident that we can stay in business you will do ok but its definitely going to affect how we do business how profitable we are how fast we can grow how much we can provide the product that our customers want at the price that they like it donald trump impose another round of tide of some 300000000000. 00 worth of chinese goods at the start of this month that adds to the tide of that were brought in last year the president believes the deal with china is close but he said that before they had the worst year in over 50 you know they had a a year that was a disaster for them millions of jobs have been lost their supply chain has been destroyed or soon to be destroyed i dont think they can continue onward like that. One california suffered maker supports the president hes been losing out to cheaper chinese boards im a proponent for as high as possible because then it becomes competitive for me. The new jobs figure doesnt fully measure the impact of the trade war but it comes as an official report reveals the u. S. Created half a 1000000 fewer jobs in the past 18 months than previously reported dont see short term pain for long term gain believing hes going to kickstart American Manufacturing unlikely says stephen session we would love to be able to manufacture domestically but its literally not possible for us to make our shoes domestically in the same way that its literally not possible for to find a domestic version of the devices you and i are using to speak or papers in our cell phones the structure just doesnt exist to allow us to act donald trump says trade wars are quick and easy too when he has to make that true if he wants to take a Strong Economy into the 2020 president ial election alan fischer aljazeera washington.

S. Pulled out last year and re imposed sanctions president Hossam Rouhani has warned his countrys Energy Program will soon operate without limits and those are the headlines the news continues here on aljazeera inside story how see you in about 25 minutes by the. Zimbabwes founding leader is dead some saw him as a little race a tyrant so what legacy does he leave and how was involved from his shadow this is inside story. Welcome to the program. Robert mugabe was a divisive figure white until he died on friday of the age of 95 he was hailed a hero of zimbabwes independence from britain but after a turbulent 37 years as president the military opposed him in 2017 African Leaders are paying tribute to mugabe as an icon of liberation but his critics say his thirst for power left zimbabwe rowans Hoda Abdelhamid takes a look back at Robert Mugabes life. 965 rhodesia ian smith his white settlers declare independence from britain an event that defined Robert Mugabes life and still holds his country the black majority resisted races through in the cities and out in the countryside where a vicious bush war raged for years. Robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerged from prison as an articulate leader of the independence struggle we started the war in order to give our country and we havent got our country they did get their country at lancaster house in london in 1979. And when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. And soon showing revival liberation fighters what hed do to keep it might the belly land in the early eightys the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were barely noticed abroad but there was also much to admire racial reconciliation education and health for millions of zimbabweans although later the economy declined and the invasions of white farms in the year 2000 were turning point this time the world did notice. It was a coward it destructive process but mugabe said he was correcting an old injustice and in many ways still fighting the old colonial power the land is ours we give it to whom we please its not the business of britain you see to tell us who to give land they do not. Buy now opposition was growing despite murder and many many zimbabwe seemed ready to throw mugabe out they had a new hero. Who said Robert Mugabes early achievements will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. Do we put as the great liberator or do we put somebody who has betrayed the liberation that the photo. I think the little old prevail the 2 rivals ended up in government together although mugabe made sure he kept the real power and shank you violate to return to a position where he would eventually die he has this part hes a dictator hes a tyrant hes any word you want to threaten but its something more than that he says hes the wrong messenger with the right message. By now his wife grace 41 years his junior had emerged as a political player who got be well into his ninetys seem determined to go on and on. In the citys anger boiled over a new generation demanded mugabe go its time for you to resign its time for you to step down. In the end it was the army that pushed him where he did point grace as his successor a former colleague and then leave rival of greeces emerson women took over it was more palace couldnt revolution although the joy mirrored that of zimbabwes original revolution 37 years earlier mugabe retreated to his mansion bitter to the last probably. The real tragedy Robert Mugabe could never bear da da of his country enjoying a 2nd freedom from his room. Lets bring in. In harare Patrick Chinamasa a ruling zano party member Robert Mugabes finance minister in london. The former chief advisor to the former zimbabwean Prime Minister Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai and in johannesburg david moore professor of Development Studies of the university of georgia spoke welcome to all patrick the mixed reactions following the death of mr mugabe from a liberated tyrant. Does that in a way or another sum up his legacy well zimbabwe in the group or zimbabwe are going to be in deep mourning over the past. Or. God be with our leader. Pollution. Who championed the armed destructo which give us our free dorm our human rights. Our dignity youll be one of the good talk you come along side from our common guma julius nearer. Kenneth kaunda youre so mandela you will be even pollution ari i can not just african i can but also internationally each time you and you because of your praise the people everywhere. You was very principled you are strong. Why not if you lead us in africa well take an exam on koran your masters and our learned to give it back to the right who people you want i mean flinching. In that little ok you lived a huge legacy for empowerment or for people in the early off age you creation zimbabweans now lifted the ideas in terms of Literacy Rate into also in terms of development this is why you find dublins all over the world because of the asking it seems you also said penetration will fight the biggest that youve meant was giving land back well talk what he tells about. The youth who did being different issues alex. Morgan tsvangirai who was the main Opposition Leader in zimbabwe once said that if we were to make any assessment about the legacy of. The between a Freedom Fighter or someone who had deserved the winds given to him by his own people the latter would prevail. Well i think 1st of all you know condolences of course to the family of former prison mugabe. I have listened to a tear from a minute session him as a saint theres no doubt that mr mugabe played an Important Role in the oppression of zimbabwe and had many important words to say about africa and he was indeed an icon in that regard however as i pointed out at the time there are also aspects of mr mugabes leadership we chair were very disagreeable we should very horrible and i think that its important to understand that even at this particular point in time while we have to respect the family of mr mugabe its also important to be honest and truthful about the challenges that zimbabwe has faced as in biographies about his leadership. Was part of a group of people in his own appear of who led to the ouster of president Robert Mugabe in 2017 i dont think that it is fair to whitewash that episode of history if anything the demise of former president Robert Mugabe began that november 27th when they took power from him through unconstitutional means better i mean when we go back and look at the highlights of the legacy of mugabe many people would tell you that ok he was a Freedom Fighter for the independence of his own country but those credentials were completely overshadowed by the blunders by the mistakes that he made over many many years impala. I dont agree with that cheery proposition what i think people should be more about mugabe is that you are very angry that we are in african opposition zimbabwean opposition. By former colonial masters degree to suit their wealth municipal own dition funded luncheon in establishment or you are very very angry that is him but when how could he but when to degrade that one legacy how good is it but will be told that one cant by accepting silver in order to or pause to learn to question you are very angry over that issue so the issue that about the events of 2017 we are not to pick things we are all of our shortcomings but mugabes shortcomings kero into insignificance when compared with these achievements not just in zimbabwe but internationally and one shortcoming that i could or not do is that if you lived in the sunshine you should call it for him to assume all because of. This gala things we are getting out of control into a clique of individuals that are wanted you while in order to advantage that one person no interest which is nothing to do with your countrys National Interests ok that is what led to the events of 2000 incidentally lets go to a not you dont tug it and demagogue it like this cant that change was now inevitable ok lets go to david moore in johannesburg david it was quite interesting their reactions we got from African Leaders basically describing mr mugabe as an eye. Kind of the pan african Pro Independence movement but when it comes to the west the main sentiment was basically this was a tyrant who abused his power for many decades which led or drove the country to the brink of collapse. Right well statesmen and diplomats protect each other generally and i think thats been the case a often times if you speak do diplomats behind close doors an off the record they say quite Different Things and they certainly have had in the past but Robert Mugabe has been able to marshal the ideology of sovereignty and pan african ism to put them on their back feet usually except of course in 2008 where in after the victory of morgan change or i in the election at the end of march forced or runoff well of force a lot of fake counting as well but thats not unusual and mugabi end his People Killed at least the very least 177 m. D. C. Supporters at that time sadek and the a you had had enough and pushed him into a unity government but he was able to make that work to his benefit as well which hes always been it was due hes been very good at picking out this soft spots in the opponents armor and also pitching various camps in his own party but also in the International Arena especially during the cold war at each other and been ever to sneak through those those those cracks and maintain im self and power is very very good at that i think is very interesting that in some contradiction to your former speaker the people on the streets are actually indicating i would say a 37 d. Percentage racial against and for Robert Mugabe and thats thats fairly unique in these days because people journalese not like they dont like to speak ill of the dead but theres already indications that his real legacy is not as good as its been made out to be ready alex with zimbabwe are turning of a chapter of robots will gabi do you see an opening for what could be fresh political starts in the country well i think that if the events of november 27th team had not happened and if mr mugabe had passed on while he was in power perhaps one would be talking of a new fresh chapter coming up but i think what we have seen so far is that mr mugabes political death and the november 27th and contrary to what we are hearing from my countrymen. They have been trying their level best over the past 12 months 18 months to distance themselves from the legacy of mr mugabe its only now that theyre calling him comrade mugabe because its a title that they often use for their own colleagues and friends in the newspapers theyve been calling him mr mugabe and all sorts of things so its a bit hypocritical you know so to speak that hes being applauded and given oh these are now when for the past 1218 months theyre treated you like leaper really now in terms of zimbabwe Going Forward i think that clearly the challenges that were supposed to be solved in november 27000 have not been resolved the last election in august in july 28th and left a lot of hanging questions and thats why zimbabwe continues to suffer serious isolation serious economic deterioration as has been said by many people the solutions to zimbabwes challenges lie in the political arena and it is there that zimbabweans have to find a solution the passing on of mr mugabe had does not have the same impact that it would have had had he passed on during his time in power was a passage of liston to the founding of the legacy of mr mugabe but at a certain point this is all this is if it has just been for a 2nd this is my question to you mr. The 2008 election the constitution provided for. Truth here you poor thing. Prison plus one there was to be run they think that you laid in the stage does not make it we know or can you listen i wonder just a quick note about a clip in ottawa to quickly listen this is a pattern we are giving you pocketable you should you cant just give some credit. Because in the 2nd round of the election he said to console you did you that you. Ok just going back to what he said about 2008 or should just give some credit a strong guy who said that i cannot afford to see more People Killed because of the election and therefore i decided to stay away from the 2nd round of the vote but this is that this is my question to you listen to you youre defending the legacy of Robert Mugabe but there isnt a universal consensus that the google 100. 00 massacres committed in the matter billy land was one of the gray vests crimes committed during the reign of Robert Mugabe still youre completely in denial about it. It is you know the liberation of this country was brought about by 2 liberation movements 2 liberation nationalist movements it independence zanu one you might really it went in to acquire lucian with his up but do that goodmans like a monk or evolution is take place luther understanding takes place in some of this new thought that their names are formed by those who wanted to suggest copulation so that if you rode is regrettable but is in part when he will find its solution a month or selves without the involvement or power i just wanted to i like to hear about how how not to with never. Miss a pastor culkin you moving. To go persecuted her did i see your point how can you move forward if youre not willing to acknowledge mistakes that were made crimes that were committed in the past reconciliation is foremost about saying this is it president mugabe president mugabe was the 1st to announce the poorly thought fresh racial reconciliation among we form our core meo musters. That was a very important decision that you took dont you was always. A man or equal to lesion into declaring to president is lord. Or google i wanted to the pew thing to do going to listen commission we. Tended by a president who had so we will find our solution without interfering with us we knew our problems very important that i would think that live out our own here problem about zimbabwe in opposition we still find it by former colonial masters to call up the late edition in this country there was a reference to luck here and this we have never and i said exactly what your little guy has been saying for so this isnt a this clueless election but someone went on to i know that it wont be in the election where i started before the books were called let me tell you what it cant if you dont mind a sabbatical focus i need to work on it ok and it includes david moore here david the factional divide is something which has been demick in different parts of the african continent and we comes to zimbabwe how the debate is and the showing or is this something which you think would further continue to undermine the chances for any political reconciliation in the future in zimbabwe. I think its a bit difficult to hear you but i think the way in which the reconciliation attempts are going ahead is creating some more divisions and matter better learn than one would would would hope and that could be the way in which the current regime is handling some of these issues i think overall one can see quite clearly from Patrick Chinamasa as a response a very. Rote zanu p. F. Response to some of these issues that youve raised and i think perhaps Robert Mugabes last words that were publicly announced and february 21st of this year on his 95th birthday that sort of sanctimonious holier than our holier than thou ive never done any wrong discourse of actually blaming emerson went to god work for the deaths in january of this year when at least 17 people were killed in in the demonstrations and he said something to the effect that you only happy when youre killing people why is it that death makes you happy Something Like that and thats kind of indicated the the sensibility that i think Robert Mugabe has left. Among people in power and even people contesting for power. The kind of religious religiosity about it i think mugabe really did think that he could save the senate here from falling apart. He but but by playing off actions against each other but that of course at 11 moment would help him keep in power but at the same moment and sort of put things in balance again but then he would have to put things in in balance again in order to keep that sort of factionalism going by. Simultaneously cooled down a bit and that in the end has probably destroyed zonen p. F. I dont think we even now with with morning god were in have a cohesive Security Force we dont have a Economic Issues solved so mugabe is a man in a sense has remained even though it sometimes the new regime has said is trying to reverse the. Difficulties this is going to be my question to alex very briefly there were hopes that the post mugabe legacy with him or some other guy who are in power with see a dramatic change me comes for the forms of political laws and the economy people seem to be with disillusioned now more than ever. Well when mr macgregor came in in 2017 there were a lot of people who were very awful they were naive but they were very hopeful that he would change they did not understand that mr bernanke and the people there to it and taken over had been an integral part of mr mugabes regime as you know old habits die hard they have continued with the legacy of mr mugabe for sure and that is why you hear the 6 numbers that we just Senior Member of the un appear of continuing with the rhetoric that accuses the opposition of being western funded as if they themselves in the liberation struggle did not get funding from all over the world including western countries that is not to excuse anything but it is simply to say that he wold not be seen for who they are they support themselves they look after themselves they are free to express themselves and its a political right this idea of excluding people on the basis of their political affiliation is what has gotten zimbabwe and many other african countries down and so it is important for the end of the of to really take a more mature thank and one essence of approach to politics governesses everybody else unfortunately general well have to leave it there thank you very much indeed.

The only leader most zimbabweans had ever known until he was deposed and 2017 has died in singapore at the age of 95 Robert Mugabe led zimbabwe to independence from white minority rule and presided over a Success Story in education and health in his early years in power becoming an inspirational figure across africa but he went on to symbolize economic mismanagement and political turmoil as he stayed in power for nearly 40 years in death hes been declared a National Hero by president emerson one god one our country is a freak he has been since 980 thing its 2 the 2nd phase is over a generation of dedicated victorian nationalists and Freedom Fighters predicting the 960. 00 is all included the late committed. A great teacher and a mentor the bitterness of wrong sparrows in the custody issue and anguish over a bhutto and a bitter war never extinguished comber to give his forgiving in humanity that humanity shown and diminished throughout. That susan of for and forcefully assented itself by way of the signature policy of National Reconciliation on which. Stood to was founded and built 100 metacity joining us live from hobbes an interesting speech from the current president doesnt know how to because its talking about a lot of the positive elements of Robert Mugabes rule but not really saying very much about the damage to the economy and the violence that he presided over in his later years. Well when president nixon and god were great the nation he said that they will always be remembered as a National Hero he thinks that the. Only final as once a body is back in the country is a right now theres no date. For the burial of zimbabwe i must say is relatively quiet yes people are talking about mugabes did but were not seeing any public gatherings yet but it opinions here are very mixed with a man to rule the country for 37 years so hes getting people who only they they loved him he was a liberator and they say deal with them and then you find people who really have no kind words to say about him and they blame him for ruining what was once a prosperous country but jenny what ive been hearing is when you ask people what do you think will be macgyver his legacy some of them pause think about it and then say its complicated one men see it in the eightys and ninetys when he was growing up he grew up very poor in the villages parents couldnt afford to send him to school and because back into so much its like if you try and educate as many black children as possible this man managed to get University Green managed to get a fairly decent job but over the years because the economic crisis and political crisis he said he lost his job as you know a struggle trying to feed his family trying to pay rent times and his children to school and as a meanie zimbabweans are going through frustration over the economic crisis and its been existing for several several years now. In hospital in singapore whats going to be happening. Well people will wait to hear when the body will come back to zimbabwe and then the time kind of official announcement of the plan what we think you may have and based on discussions that have been over the other people prepared for the eventual day was he will lie in state for a couple of days he may even do some kind of tour in the country go to his rural home village in zimbabwe people get a chance to see him and pay their respects and take a bite and eventually it was given the state funeral which would be likely which would likely happen hell be buried at the National Heroes acre here in the capital all right its a way a lot of the people who for joining the Liberation War to end white minority rule have been buried his greatest position in the race to teach place occasional saying that because they want to so how much did he stick to the man the man they called the founding father of zimbabwe well that leaves a lot of African Leaders coming to the funeral remember on the continent even though some of the bob in here have issues with mugabe in the way he ran the country many people on the continent feel that he was a liberator he helped in the white minority rule he helped some countries gain independence then he is a hero so like you see a lot of African Leaders coming to the funeral and paying their respects thanks very much indeed. The leader of the official opposition in zimbabwe the movement for Democratic Change he says the former leaders legacy will be mixed. Acknowledge their contribution made by mr mugabe through the liberation of our country and also his contribution to the early days when he contributed through education and housing but he also acknowledged the reality that there were all so negatives in terms of detainees that people had to go through on a common goal is all missions and commissions in government someone got there was a human being is now is now if you. Can you could not have been ducked perfect because he was not an engineer you made mistakes he had strengths and weaknesses but more importantly as far as we are concerned we feel that you left the nation divided 11 a nation more disunited you have the nation in difficult 2nd thing is special in the breakdown of the rule of law the breakdown of governance system and those are the issues we need to correct so mr mugabe is an indicator of what we should do right the fact that he has led to pass on in foreign lands is something that points to the problems that we have in our country we can have our leaders in africa being treated in foreign lands we must be able to fix our politics fix our governance institutions fix our governance systems so that we have big ideas not just big men big institutions not just big easy personalities that we will be airboat to be proud of yourself so i totally understand those who think that mr mugabe did not do what was supposed to be done but he had good intentions i suppose well his country but all the ducks it is an african for us to start to focus on the negative side of his mentioning opinions of Robert Mugabe are divided in zimbabwes capital. The only thing he did wrong was to stay in power for a long time and thats the only thing that wasnt right. For. The president and he liberated us from the colonialists as well as giving us land to. Build. One. Because of the. Saints. Because the. Statistics economy. Was so now hes. Giving. You produce. So. Revolutionary. After he committed to speaking up but he cant. But i want to bring in Stephen Chang from the school of oriental and African Studies at the university of london he helped pioneer modern Election Observation at the independent independence elections in zimbabwe in 1980 s. Joining us now from thank you very much indeed for giving us your time sir as a correspondent was telling us just a moment ago if you talk to people in zimbabwe to give their opinions about Robert Mugabe they say generally its complicated how easy do you think it is going to be for zimbabweans to reconcile the legacy of Robert Mugabe. Theyre living through the legacy right now which is an economic collapse a living through a legacy of fraudulent democracy basically the country is on its knees economically theres no productive plan to bring it back on its feet and so the legacy of book of is going to be a tragic one at last for quite some years to come the speech that the current president. Made earlier on was very. Full of praise for Robert Mugabe but didnt really refer to the later years in which was some violence in the streets in zimbabwe and we saw the economic collapse that of course you are talking about as the days progress and do you think that zimbabweans are going to learn to live with this glossing over of the image of Robert Mugabe or are they going to actually ask for more truthful and which do you think i think that a book truthful image will be demanded over a period of time i think that after the burial after people have come to grips with the idea that nothing has changed in terms of the legacy to be to that theyll start asking questions of the current government the government which is representing the party of robert its true mugabe was a great liberation gita nobody could take that away from him its also completely true that is policies lead the country to pack up see is the time of Robert Mugabe now over the remnants of Robert Mugabe his roots still existing in zimbabwe and if there are what do you see are going to be the problems as a result of that i think there are 2 chief hanging from the Robert Mugabe years the 1st is a lack of operational planning or productivity. The idea of going out and borrowing yet more money to rescue the country that seems to be the only idea in the head of the planners and the head of the minister of finance the other thing of a Republican Base years is the use of violence against citizens great violence as if the government has no response of a proper dialogue with its own citizens it is this that will continue to inflame people in the months and the years to come do you think as a result of that zimbabwe
