Iam brought me back to a point where now i am helping the sun gives somebody else some sun. Veterans of the war against white rule in zimbabwe, whove been president mugabes most ardent supporters for years, have said he must step down at once. Their leaders have called for a mass demonstration in the capital harare on saturday. Mr mugabe appeared in public for the first time, since the military takeover in zimbabwe. From there, our africa editor, fergal keane sent this report. Here in harare, the sense of crisis is swelling, after a day of the surprising and the surreal. It began with an appearance nobody expected. The aura is gone, Robert Mugabe is a man reduced, in stature and in options. In this coup unlike any other coup, he emerged today to open a graduation ceremony. The voice that once preached revolution, now reciting the mundane requirements of the moment. Applause. In the passing of any era, there are emblematic moments. Caught napping its happened a lot to him these days. That appearance illustrated just how much Robert Mugabes world has shrunk. He was effectively allowed out on licence today by the army, briefly shown and then taken away again. The fear with which he ruled his people, the patronage with which he bought loyalty, these have gone. But there is growing disquiet at the fact he remains president. By lunchtime the pressure was intensifying. These are war veterans, old allies now publicly calling on him to go. Between now and tomorrow we are giving you a stark warning to mugabe, to his wife, and anybody who still wants to be associated with him. The game is up, finished, done. We wont allow this to go on. Applause the workaday normality of the street is only surface deep, and expectations of real change are growing. It has been long overdue. We expect things to improve economically, socially and politically. People should be free to choose who their next leader should be. We just want to be at peace. We dont want civil war, we dont want anything to do with us not having peace. The military has a dilemma, hence these photographs, smiles and handshakes. Under pressure from regional powers and the international community, they need a transition with a veneer of legality, ideally with president mugabe agreeing to resign. So far, he wont. That ambivalence has become the problem, the albatross around the military. Having to play the legal constitution on one end, at the same time they want him out. By early evening it was apparent that most of his own party want him gone. A majority of provincial branches called on him to resign, and theres talk of impeachment. These moves could be decisive. The former lebanese Prime Minister, saad hariri, has left saudi arabia for france, where hell meet president macron. Using twitter, mr hariri said it was a lie to say that he had been held by the saudi authorities against his will. Saudi arabia is recalling its ambassador to germany, objecting to comments by berlin on the hariri crisis. Our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet reports. Saad hariris departure from france marx and new chapter in extra ordinary political crisis which continues to be a source of intense speculation as well is condemnation. Lebanese politicians have accused saudi arabia of holding their Prime Minister hostage. Although saad hariri insists he came to riyadh two weeks ago over his own free will. He has repeatedly said he fled for his own safety and accuses Lebanons Hezbollah Movement of fuelling regional instability. It is widely understood that this is about the rivalry between saudi arabia and iran. Mr hariris resignation led to concern that lebanon could become another Playing Field in a proxy war which feels tension in many countries gcioss which feels tension in many countries across this region. Truss flesh and mac i believe that irans translation i flesh and mac i believe that irans translation i believe that irans position. I think that regional tensions exist from syria to yemen, including lebanon, it locates ta ke to yemen, including lebanon, it locates take several regional powers and that iran must recognise its role in that. Implicates. It is hoped that the french president s intervention will help defuse this tension. Although the crisis is far from over. Mr hariri is expected to spend time in paris and visit other arab capitals before returning to beirut. The navy in argentina is continuing to search submarine that has been asked of contact for two days. There had been reports in local media that the sam wundke had been found off the countrys sa nwa and been found off the countrys sanwa and had been found off the countrys east coast but they had not been confirmed. The submarine was last in contact early on wednesday when it was more than 400 kilometres off the coast of patagonia. San juan. Now to the United States where after days of relative silence about a series of Sexual Misconduct scandals donald trump has now spoken out. But while he could have offered his thoughts on several individuals, he chose to target a senator from the Opposition Democratic Party al franken. It comes after a journalist, lee ann tweeden, put this photo onto social media, dating from 2006, which appears to show mr franken groping her while she was asleep. He has issued a statement apologising for his actions. Cue mr trump on twitter now, its worth pointing out that al franken is not the only politician whose actions are being scrutinised, but he is the only one mr trump is tweeting about. The president did not, for example, comment on republican roy moore, whos hoping to win a senate seat in alabama next month, and has been accused of making sexual advances towards several teenagers. Mr moore denies those claims, which he says are politically motivated. Mr moores wife has been speaking out in his defence. He is a loving father and a grandfather, and most important, he is a christian. Let me set the record straight. Even after all the attacks against me, my family, against the foundation and my husband, he will not step down. Applause. The bbcs laura becker is in washington for us. We just heard the bbcs laura becker is in washington for us. Wejust heard mrs moore, so lets start with roy moore, so lets start with roy moore, what other alleged latest allegations against him. This controversy has been building for the last week since the Washington Post printed allegations that he preyed on teenage girls. One woman alleges that she was preyed on as young as 14, and again roy moore as young as 14, and again roy moore as you heard denied is all of these allegations, he continues to stay in the race despite the fact that Establishment Republicans like the Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell have already turned around and said it was time to him to step out of this race. He is refusing to do that, he was already a controversial republican candidate. On stage he brandished a gun to emphasise the right to bear arms, he was not Donald Trumps favourite roberton candidate for the alabama seat, republican. He was weighed against the polls against the democratic and that, but since this has been revealed, he has dropped dramatically. Hatchback democratic candidate. President trump has been asked repeatedly by reporters to comment on roy moore, he has refused. The white house turned around and said it was up to the voters of alabama, his daughter ivanka trump has no such qualms. In a statement she said there is a special place in hell for people who prey on children, i have yet to see a valid explanation and have no reason to doubt that it is accounts. The victims accounts. The victims accounts. It is obvious that he is really only prepared to talk about those in opposition. The white house today said the difference between the two cases was that al franken had admitted guilt whereas roy moore has not. When it comes to al franken, he has apologised for the picture and here renders it differently, and it is a picture of where he is about to grope a woman who is asleep and it is a well known radio host who has come forward with these allegations. Donald trump decided to use the nickname Al Frankenstein in his tweed, tweet. The problem for President Trump weighing into these controversies is that he has had some of his own. A dozen women came forward last year during the Election Campaign with various allegations that he had sexually abused them, he said at the time that he denied all the allegations and said he would be taking legal action, but it is a difficult ground for President Trump to ta ke difficult ground for President Trump to take because if he suddenly weighs into any of these controversies, it rings up some of his own from the past. The brexit secretary david davis says the uk has made compromises in the brexit negotiations and hasnt seen the same level of compromise back. Hes urged the other eu countries to be more flexible. The president of the eu council, donald tusk, has insisted the uk has much more work to do if talks on trade are to start next month. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports from berlin. Here in berlin, where the decisions matter so much, there in dublin, this morning, and almost everywhere, the Government Mission to persuade the rest of the eu to please move on. The Prime Minister in sweden had met there is more to do. We are agreed that progress has been made but there is more to be done. But we should move Forward Together towards the point where sufficient progress can be declared. But someone has to barge to get there. But someone has to budge to get there. In the European Capital that speaks with the loudest voice, the view is that britain must shift. The brexit secretary does not think it is down to him. So far in this negotiation weve made quite a lot of compromises. On the Citizens Rights front, we have made all the running. We have offered some creative compromises. We have not always got that back. But you have come to the powerhouse of the european union, though, without an offer on what pretty much everybody on the other side agrees is the biggest problem. Now, eu politician after eu politician has been Crystal Clear theyre not going to move on in the way that you want to until the uk is willing to make a promise, not to give a figure, but to give a promise that you are prepared to write a bigger cheque. Of course they are saying that. What is also clear is that many of them do want to move on. They see it is very important to them. Countries like denmark, holland, italy and spain, countries like poland can see the benefits in the future deal that we are talking about, the deep and special relationship the Prime Minister refers to, a strong trading and security relationship. They all have things to benefit from that. This is not a one way street, not something for nothing. This benefits everybody. So who is holding out . Germany and France Holding things up . No, to be clear, germany and france, the open secret of europe, they are the most powerful players on the european continent, of course. And so what they believe is very influential, sometimes decisively so. But its the whole of europe decision, 27 countries. Why not just admit that at some point in the next ten days, or two weeks, you are going to have to say that the uk will put a more generous financial offer on the table . Nothing comes for nothing in this world. With david davis playing bad cop in germany, he left theresa may looking like awkward chief constable in sweden. Ireland, clearly not satisfied with the issue of the cash or the border after brexit. Its 18 months since the referendum, ten years since people started agitating for a referendum. Sometimes it doesnt seem they thought all of this through. Welcome to this concluding press conference. So, for now, the eu is publicly and resolutely sticking together, demanding more progress, with just a couple of weeks to make it, and suggesting mr daviess idea that they should compromise was a joke. I made it very clear to the Prime Minister, theresa may, that this progress needs to happen at the beginning of december at the latest. I appreciate david daviss english sense of humour. I like jokes. He probably doesnt like his ideas being called a joke, but he has to compete with tory demands at home, too. Ministers might have to back down over their hope of putting the date of brexit into law. Which is harder, dealing with the tory party or the 27 countries . laughs . You have described about two thirds of myjob. This is the most important decision in peacetime. Of course its difficult. People have passionate views. And which is harder . laughs . I dont know the answer to that. I think it varies day by day. At home and away, this is no longer about pressing the flesh, as the deadline looms. The talks are getting tougher. The journey to the next phase of brexit, a Charm Offensive perhaps a little short on charm.
