South africas president , jacob zuma, says the future of the governing anc party is under threat. At a conference to choose a new leader, he said voters believed it was arrogant and soft on corruption. Mr zuma himself has faced allegations of fraud and racketeering. His successor is widely expected to become the next president in 2019. Our africa editor, fergal keane reports from johannesburg. Not since the anc came to power 23 years ago has so much depended on the votes of its party members. An organisation that held together through more than eight decades of white rule is now bitterly divided. They sing the same song but support very different visions. This conference isntjust about the future of a Liberation Movement, a political party. Its about the future of this country. Will the anc elect a new leader who has promised to sweep away corruption . The anc has always been good at shows of unity, like the clasped hands of the two contenders, dr dlamini zuma and the man targeting corruption, Cyril Ramaphosa, both vying for delegates votes. Who would you like to see as your next president . Nkosaza na dlamini zuma. Nkosazana dlamini zuma, shes going to be the president. Definitely . Yeah, definitely. Youll see, youll see. You can see, look at the numbers. Who do you think will be the next leader . Cyril ramaphosa with be the president , no doubt. The mandate is for Cyril Ramaphosa to be the next president of the African National congress and to be the next president the republic of south africa. Dr dlamini zuma is a senior politician in her own right but is also the ex wife of jacob zuma. Cyril ramaphosa could prove his nemesis if he makes good on his Anti Corruption rhetoric. The president s allies have sought to portray ramaphosa as the puppet of greedy white business, hence this swipe in his speech. We need to find ways of protecting the anc from corporate greed and ensure that the decisions we take are informed by the policies of the anc and are not dictated by. Are not dictated to by business interests. Africas oldest Liberation Movement is fraying, even in the face of poignant pleas for unity. Whoever is elected leader tomorrow will inherit a party in crisis. Fergal keane, bbc news, johannesburg. Water supplies to thousands of homes and businesses in gloucestershire, have only just been restored, after two days. It follows a mains pipe burst in tewkesbury, that left many having to rely on bottled water, as jon donnison reports. Water, water everywhere. Nor any drop to drink. A ruptured pipe has left these fields flooded, and in tewkesbury thousands of people without water for a second day. Many businesses have been forced to close. Severn trent has already had to hand out 300,000 litres of bottled water. Im surprised that severn trent have not got it all back together again within 2a hours. I had to drive nearly ten miles here. Itjust cant be helped. It is one of those things. David luckett runs an Emergency Committee set up to deal with water problems in the nearby village of twining. He says more remote areas have been the worst affected. I feel that the villages have been left almost to their own devices to a certain extent. We have had no forward delivery of any supplies. By late afternoon, Severn Trent Water said that supply had returned to some areas, but not all. I cant say at this moment how long it will take to get back to normal, but i can assure all of our customers that we are working as hard as we can to get the network back to normal and to restore the water supplies. This evening, severn trent said that the majority of people in tewkesbury now have their supply back, but for a second night, some will go to bed wondering if they will wake up with water. Police investigating the deaths of a 75 year old canadian billionaire and his wife say the circumstances appear suspicious.

One of torontos richest suburbs, a house for sale. In the basement, a discovery two bodies, a man and a woman. Barry sherman and his wife honey, one of the richest couples in the country.

Austria is poised to become the only western european country with a far right party in government. The conservative peoples party, which won the parliamentary election two months ago but failed to secure a majority, has struck a Coalition Deal with the anti immigration Freedom Party. The leaders of the two parties have met with the austrian president , who has given his approvalfor the deal. The head of the peoples party, sebastian kurz, whos 31, will be the Youngest National leader in the world. The bbcs correspondent in vienna, bethany bell, says austrias new government will take a tougher stance on immigration. They are cutting benefits for migrants, theyre making it harder for them to receive that. They want to beef up controls on austrias borders to prevent more illegal immigration. And also, he has said that they want to speed up asylum claims and prevent abuse of the asylum system. Quite strong words there. The other thing that was sort of hanging over this the place they chose to have this press conference was up on a outside vienna, which was where the austrians turned back the Ottoman Turks back in 1683. Where the muslim armies of the ottomans were stopped. He was asked whether the choice of that place was symbolic. He denied that is, he said it was just a good place to meet. But some people will be wondering if this is part of a sort of anti muslim rhetoric that the Freedom Party has stressed a great deal. Retailers are expected to make big discounts in the final week before christmas, to convince shoppers to keep spending throughout the festive period. Theres fear among some on the high street, that with rising inflation and stagnant wages, consumers may be more willing to spend big in the period after black friday in late november, rather than in the run up to december 25th. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. What could be more christmassy and the Salvation Army warming our hearts and the hustle and bustle of shoppers hunting for bargains . But with money tight and competition intense, some big retailers are starting to offer big discounts well ahead of the boxing day sales. Will it work . I do believe that retailers are trying to get the money in before christmas rather than after. Quite a few shops have got reduced prices, bargains on. Obviously if youre going to wait to the sales, but i think a lot of sales, looking around, have started already. We come to these every saturday and stuff that i looked at last week is on sale this week. The consultants pwc have found evidence of pre christmas discounting and expect it to intensify next week. Promotional levels are ticking up, both online and off line, so in the run up to christmas, if youve not done your shopping yet, we expecting a lot more promotions, particularly online in the final week before christmas. The bad weather earlier this week may have kept some shoppers at home, but experts feel that there will be back in numbers. Retail spending was surprisingly up by 1. 1 last month. I say surprising because average prices in the shops were rising faster than wages, and ordinarily consumers rein in their spending, but they havent, yet, and retailers want every penny of that spare money. And to do that they are slashing some prices, but in doing so, they are merely bringing forward the discounts that they would have offered in the winter sales. Its all part of the annual face off between retailers and consumers. Joe lynam, bbc news. Police say theyve traced five drivers involved in a hit and run in which a woman died in south london. The victim, who was 29 and from poland, was hit by a lorry on a Pedestrian Crossing in tulse hill on monday. She was then struck by another lorry, and at least two cars. None of the drivers stopped.

This is one of five homes in this tiny neighbourhood which was destroyed when the flames swept through here so fast that firefighters had to abandon the area. Which ones survived and which were destroyed was a matter of pure luck. Aaron lawson and his family were among the lucky ones.

It was amazing. He would capture the attention of children. As a distinguished, pioneering academic, he invented important medical devices, including a machine for counting the blood cells of patients. And he was the scientific director of the juno programme, sending the first british astronaut into space in 1991. The technical innovations, the programmes like the juno programme, you know, those were important, but i thinkjust everyday human interaction, giving people advice, enthusing them about science and technology, he felt those were equally important.
