Front of tv cameras. The generals whod detained him, lined up alongside. But mr mugabe, in power for 37 years, was reading from a different script. And though he acknowledged the grievances of his party who earlier had sacked him there was no final farewell for now at least. Heres our africa editor, fergal keane. The very music seemed designed to drain any drama out of the moment. And perhaps the geniality of the encounter was a giveaway. Robert mugabe did not look like a man about to walk into the wilderness and his words delivered 15 minutes into a rambling address confirmed that he intended to stay as leader of the country and party at least until the Party Congress in december. The congress is due in a few weeks from now. I will preside over its processes which must not be repossessed by any axe calculated to undermine it or to compromise the outcome in the eyes of the public.

Once loyal supporters met to warn that he would be impeached by parliament if he did not step down from the presidency by midday tomorrow. Tonights non resignation does not change the feeling of the party and it does not remove the bitterness against his wife grace mugabe and her friends. It has to be over now . Yes. Enough is enough. The people of zimbabwe have shown in numbers that they are fed up with this dynasty and a new era is beginning. This is the moment when Robert Mugabe lost power in his own party, the party he dominated for so long and has now been replaced as party leader by a man who was one of his closest allies for decades. The new leader Emmerson Mnangagwa is known as the crocodile. Celebrated for his ruthless cunning. When he gets his prey. he may have agreed to pause, but he is unlikely to stop until he ousts his old comrades. On the streets of harare the people of the presidency to occupy a different nation.

Ms suu kyi will give a speech in the next few hours and is expected to talk about the crisis. Ms mogherini said myanmar needs support to find a resolution. More than putting pressure, i would say that it is our approach, which has always been and will continue to be to offer a negotiating space, encourage the taking care of the situation, that is not going to disappear. So it is, i think, a responsibility of the authorities to find solutions, and again, the International Community has indicated some of the solutions, especially the kofi annan plan that Aung San Suu Kyi has committed to implement, and we are there to support her in doing this.

Lets return to zimbabwe where president mugabes televised address has left many people baffled and confused. Thousands of people took to the streets of harare at the weekend in support of the armys actions against him. Shingai nyoka has been speaking to residents of the city to get their reaction to mr mugabes refusal to resign. They came to listen to what president mugabe had to say. After a meeting with Army Generals responsible for a takeover earlier last week, they had expected to hear his resignation speech. At this bar, they waited and waited to be told by president mugabe in a stumbling address. All this now has done. That he was going nowhere. He does not speak for our interests. He only speaks for his personal interests, and his family. So, why are you so disappointed . We are suffering. We are suffering. We have had enough of suffering. We need him to change his mind. We need him to resign. He didnt actually say hes resigning or anything, so were still waiting. The people marched yesterday. They expressed their views. Im a young lawyer in zimbabwe. I will practice law, ive been practising for the past three years. Its pathetic. The country has gone to the dogs. The consummate politician appears, at least for the moment, and on the surface, to have negotiated a deal on his own terms. This is not the announcement that some zimbabweans we re announcement that some zimbabweans were waiting for. Robert mugabe is still the president and its not clear whether parliament will now begin impeachment process. People here today were expecting to hear the resignation they have demanded, but those hopes have been dashed. The wild celebrations we have seen on the streets stand in stark contrast to the sombre mood in harare tonight. Earlier i spoke to dr alex magaisa a lecturer in law at the university of kent and a former adviser to zimbabwes opposition leader, morgan tsvangirai. He gave his reaction to president mugabes refusal to quit. I think it has come as a shock to most people. Ive spoken to many people in zimbabwe. They are deflated. There were High Expectations that perhaps this would be the beginning of an era without Robert Mugabe as leader. But hes dug in. Hes continuing to cling on to power, despite the polls against him. What did you make of the scene of the generals lining up alongside president mugabe. Clearly they thought they had the upper hand here, but its clearly backfired on them. Whats your reaction to that . Most people thought that after so many opportunities of trying to get rid of mugabe through the election, and that finally, the military had stepped in and they could use their power, i think it would even cause more people to be des respondent. It was surprising to despondant. Maybe theres something that we dont know. I suspect that perhaps they covered up a deal that allows him to lead as if hes leading on his own terms. And perhaps after the zanu pf congress, mr mugabe will be exiting the political stage. How do you think opinion is split about Robert Mugabe . Because we saw there in parliament that some people were cheering and clapping, yet protesters on the streets were calling for him to step down. 0thers saying that they were in support of him. Whats your assessment of the situation . We know yesterday what we saw with the huge numbers of people protesting against mr mugabe, that was a convergence of peoples opinions and people were all different backgrounds. They want mr mugabe gone for many different reasons. But what we are also seeing now is the politicians in zanu pf, and the military general, perhaps there are different ways to view this thing. Because today we had two com pletely this thing. Because today we had two completely different outcomes much the outcomes from the politicians inside is that mr mugabe must go. But the outcome from the military generals is that mr mugabe stays. So it is obviously a problem. It is something that has been going on. Mr mugabe is a man who digs in, he fights. In some ways, after reflection, we shouldnt be surprised that hes still hanging on. That was alex magisa earlier. Five countries are involved in a huge airand sea five countries are involved in a huge air and sea search to try to find an argentine submarine. The sanjuan has been missing since wednesday, with 44 crew on board. Contact was lost as it returned from a routine mission near the southern most tip of south america, but signals are being detected which may provide clues to its location. Dan johnson reports. This is a vessel designed to play hide and seek in the deepest depths. So finding the sanjuan, its crew and the 22 torpedoes it carries is a real challenge. Fresh satellite signals, albeit weak ones, have revived hopes of rescue. Seven call attempts have been received, says the navy spokesman, but they were incomplete and need to be checked to pinpoint the location. He stressed that they are making every effort to find the submarine, searching the open ocean and the sea bed. This is now an international effort. The us navy has flown in deep sea rescue equipment. And hms protector, the royal navys Antarctic Patrol ship, has been diverted to help scan beneath the waves of the south atlantic ocean. The sanjuan left the southern port of ushuaia last monday, after a routine mission. It was making the 2,000 mile journey back to its base in mar del plata, not far from argentinas capital. The search is focused around halfway, in the sanjorge gulf, where the submarine last made contact on wednesday. One of the 44 crew members is argentinas first female submariner. The best hope of finding her and her crew mates alive is that a power failure knocked out the submarines communications. Six countries are now hunting for the san juan, but its lost in a huge area of ocean and bad weather is making a difficultjob even harder. Dan johnson, bbc news.

Today, billions of people still live without a household toilet that safely disposes of their waste.

We found in a lot of research we were doing over the years, in both leisure and business, toilets was something that it unites us all. We are all looking for a clean toilet. And we came across world toilet day and thought there was a strong connection between travellers travelling to third world countries, noticing how terrible some of the toilets are in some of these third world countries and we decided to come up with the world toilet tourism awards.
