Of the partys top leadership, theyd given him 48 hours to resign. Mr zuma, who faces corruption allegations, has been resisting pressure to step down since he was replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa as head of the party in december. What we now know is that since we have been here, the president of the anc, Cyril Ramaphosa, drove out, and he went to president jacob zumas official web it is, and when he arrived there, there was some delay with the gate. Official residence. Eventually, they were let in. After a brief period, the convoy returned back here, and they were still talking, i suppose, returned back here, and they were still talking, isuppose, at returned back here, and they were still talking, i suppose, at that time. He had been coming back with the response from president jacob zuma on whether he would voluntarily resign or whether he would be forced to be recalled, probably through an impeachment process in parliament. And it would be a humiliation that Cyril Ramaphosa had said publicly he is trying to avoid. Remember that president jacob is trying to avoid. Remember that president jacob zuma still commands considerable medical report considerable medical report considerable clinical support in rural areas. He is an anti apartheid hero. He spent ten years behind bars alongside nelson mandela, fighting colonialism and white minority rule. This corruption allegations that have been brought to they have been hanging over him for well over a decade, now. His own party has been calling for him to step down. It now looks like he is left with no other option but to concede to the calls of his own party, the African National congress, which is the old est national congress, which is the oldest Liberation Movement on the african continent, and to respect its own wishes for him to step down, just as they did with his predecessor in 2008. Now south africans are waiting to hear whether residentjacob africans are waiting to hear whether resident jacob zuma has africans are waiting to hear whether residentjacob zuma has agreed to step down. In a dramatic change of tone, the north Korean Leader has described south korea as very impressive and declared he wants to build on the atmosphere of reconciliation, surrounding the winter olympics. State media say kimjong un has been briefed by a delegation of senior officials, including his sister, whove just returned to pyongyang, from the south. I asked our correspondent in seoul, stephen mcdonell, whats going on. It is not every day you get the north Korean Leader praising the south. Normally he is talking about the puppets of us imperialists and that sort of thing. Instead the floor between the two countries is increasing over the winter olympics. Thaw. He said that their handling of delegations and officials was impressive, and he called for thais to be warmer. This was all to be in a state report, where he said he turned back to the delegation had returned from pyongyang, and liked what he heard. Depending on who you talk to, this is either a Major Political shift, oi is either a Major Political shift, ora is either a Major Political shift, or a charm offensive. How do you read it . I think whether you like it oi read it . I think whether you like it or not, it is still a big shift. People have criticised this and said that the north should not be rewarded at the moment. It still has massive human rights abuses, still has nuclear weapons, and so wild brawl at web engagement . But the flipside is that is you do not make peace with your friends, do you . You make it with your enemies. They need to be some sort of dialogue to prevent a Global Nuclear catastrophe. And so those that are in favour of increasing talks in communication between the north and south would be very hard and by that. These are remarkable events. Heartened by that. A few months ago, we did not think that the north koreans would even come to the olympics. There was speculation they could be firing of missiles to upstage the games, and yet we are seeing this unprecedented communication between the two countries. Certainly in recent yea rs. Countries. Certainly in recent years. Just very, very briefly, stephen, if you can, what is the next likely move from the us . The us, it is confusing what we are getting out of the Trump Administration. We had the Vice President reportedly saying that they are up for talks with north korea without conditions. And then Rex Tillerson has said no, no, the north koreans need to do certain things before we have talks. On not sure if that is because there is a misunderstanding between the two or they do not agree with one another, oi they do not agree with one another, or it isa they do not agree with one another, or it is a semantic decision, or if it is the same thing. We need to find out what the Trump Administration really thinks about conversation with the north. Thank you for speaking to us from seoul, steven mcdonnell. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. President trumps daughter in law vanessa, wife of his son donald junior, has been taken to hospital after she opened a letter containing white powder.

Young people would come to the office looking to the director, and im sure those people are not there for work. For its part, the haitian government confirmed that it is ready to open a full investigation. It may be what happened at oxfam is just the tip of the iceberg, they said. They were start with the oxfam allegations to open a broader investigation. Other organisations agree that the problem go beyond oxfa m agree that the problem go beyond oxfam alone.

As ex alumni of the college, theyve gone on with their passions, enjoying their lives and going on with their careers as theyve wanted, and to get to this stage in their life and die so young is just devastating.

When we finally got some medical equipment down there, i started helping with putting iv lines in and other crews came down with pain medications so i started administering that, gave them fluids to help prevent them going into shock.

If untreated, a bite from a rabid dog is almost always fatal. So why isnt india doing more to tackle the problem . Heres our south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt. It is 8 00 at night and this is the main shopping street in leh. Leh is the capital of a himalayan region in the north of india. Now, normally, you would expect a street like this to be fairly busy. Now, it is winter, but there is another reason why this place is so quiet and that is that lots of people here in leh are simply too frightened to come out, and that is because leh has a really serious problem with stray dogs. At least 180 people were bitten by dogs last year. One man was mauled to death. Now, i want to get an idea of the scale of the problem. So were out here looking to see how many dogs we can find. And just to be on the safe side. Ive brought a stick. So theres obviously some dogs down here. Barking. There are estimated to be 30 million stray dogs in india. Huge numbers of people are bitten. One estimate is that as many as 15 Million People could be bitten each year, and an indicator of just how serious that is are the World Health Organizations statistics on rabies 20,000 people a year die of rabies here in india. That is a third of the world total. Here, here theres a ton up here. Everywhere you go in the city, you hear this you just hear dogs barking. Theyre all over the place. Barking. Now, this is a problem across india and its really, really difficult to solve. One of the reasons why is because there is a law against killing feral dogs. Now, there have been attempts at vaccinating them and sterilising them, but it simply hasnt been working. And until a solution can be found, the streets of indian cities will continue to be very dangerous. Lets get the latest from pyeongchang on day 4 of the winter olympics, and some of the achievements so far. First up, the womens snowboarding halfpipe final has just finished and chloe kim, the 17 year old american, has taken the gold. The tournament favourite dominated the qualifying rounds and finished with a near perfect run to secure the medal. And in the mixed curling, the battle for bronze the olympic athletes from russia have swept to victory ahead of norway, winning 8 4. Canada and switzerland will be competing for gold later. From andy warhols pop art to the civil rights and anti war movements, the 19605 was a decade of social and political change. Now, the Philadelphia Art Museum is bringing together photographs, paintings, architecture and fashion to highlight the creativity and spirit of an extraordinary time in american culture. Jane obrien went to have a look. Revolution, war, social upheaval and assassinations marked the 19605 but on the front lines of culture, everything was groovy, baby. Designers and artists experimented with new forms, new materials and a new more mobile age. Consumer culture in the 19605 was really a driving force of innovation and experimentation. The new use of materials like plastic allowed for furniture and design objects to be ma55 produced or miniaturi5ed and this goes along with the rise of the jet age, so people are flying all over the world and thats part of consumer culture. I know small was supposed to be beautiful in the 605, but this tv isnt really practical, is it . Yeah, thats a great question. The screen is curved so the image might be a bit distorted, but its bright and colourful and fun and its portable you can take it anywhere with that chain on top. And what about the furniture that looks uncomfortable. It looks uncomfortable, i see that, but the curves of the sofa give you something to lean into and there is some cushioning to give you some support. All thats missing is the lava lamp. Designed in 1963, it would fit perfectly. This was the jet age and also the space age. Designers responded with equal boldne55, unapologetic colour and an exuberance that matched the soaring ambitions of the age. These are two textiles that were created in anticipation and to commemorate the Lunar Landing in 1969, in the summer of 1969. Theyre quite trippy, arent they . Theyre fabulous, but what would you do with them, as they are textiles . Eddie squires, the one on the top, would make an interesting bedspread. Not a dress . I dont think i would be Walking Around with rocket5 on my clothes or astronauts. Even in the 605 . Even in the 605. But there was a dark side to the pop. President president kennedy died at 1pm Central Standard time. Andy warhol appropriated the 5ingula grief ofjackie kennedy for mass consumption as americans looked for a way to publicly express their feelings. That collective emotion was further enhanced by television, the way most people experienced the funeral of Martin Luther king a few years later. At a time when rigid norms were breaking down, arti5t5 played openly with peoples perceptions. The results, as this exhibition demonstrates, was far out. And before we go, lets take a look at these pictures. At the National Portrait gallery in washington, the official portraits of president obama and his wife michelle have been unveiled. Mr obama called his likene55 pretty sharp, while mrs obama said of hers 5imply wow. Among those in attendance were former Vice President joe biden and hollywood luminaries like Stephen Spielberg and tom hanks. President obama joked his yearbook victory was as close he had come to receiving 5uch victory was as close he had come to receiving such an honour up till now. Thank you for watching. Hello. Tuesdays weather is a wet, windy, and for some of us, rather wintry tale. The culprit an area of low pressure swinging in from the atlantic that will bring some di5ruptive snow to the northern half of the uk. Some wet and windy conditions further south. So here it is this weather front pushing in from the west. A low pre55ure centre to the north. The low itself will keep the winds up right the way across the british isles. The worst of the snow will be through the morning in time for the rush hour, sadly, across scotland with 5 10 centimetres po55ible across the highlands. But a good few centimetres po55ible through the centre belt, making for a dangerous rush hour. For Northern Ireland, perhaps the worst of the snow pulling away by 8am, but not i think before weve had some significant accumulations. Snow for the pennine5 and the Higher Ground of wales too. But even to lower levels for a while, even possible across the midlands. Then further south, weve got some heavy rain and some strong winds. So for the morning, a very me55y picture. Keep up to date with the travel on your bbc local radio station. This is the way the day then pans out. This whole weather front will push its way eastwards, clearer skies will follow on from the west, but some wintry showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. So you can see scotland clears considerably as the day goes by. But that threat of something a little bit winter across the midlands through the mid afternoon is mostly rain by the time that front gets into Eastern England in the second part of the day. Still a chilly story wherever you are, even with some 5un5hine. Highs ofjust 4 or 5 degrees. This weather front away to the east through tuesday evening, overnight into wednesday, clear skies again after that falling snow and all the moisture lying around, a widespread frost developing. Ice a big ri5k first thing on wednesday. You can see, were talking about quite a widespread frost for first thing wednesday, and quite a hard frost as well. Towards the west, though, notice the blue ea5ing somewhat by the end of the night. Thats because well see a weather front approaching, trying to bring in some cloud, which will lift the temperatures, but of course, its bumping into all that cold air, so again, 5now a potential problem for scotland, i think, parts of Northern England and wales. Behind the weather front, some milder air coming in, so turning back to rain acro55 Northern Ireland and wales as the day goes on. Temperatures in double figures for cardiff and plymouth through the afternoon. That weather system, again, well, that moves through pretty quickly off into the continent for the small hours of thursday. Then were still left with a low Pressure Centre driving our weather for the remainder of the week. It will keep some showers pushing into scotland and Northern Ireland, and some of them could be wintry for a time. But generally, things look a little milder by the end of the week. This is bbc news. The headlines. South africas ruling party, the African National congress, has decided to remove president jacob zuma as head of state. Long beset by allegations of corruption, he has faced mounting calls to end his second term. The party has the authority to order him to step down, though he might yet refuse. The north Korean Leader has described south korea as very impressive and declared he wants to build on the atmosphere of reconciliation, surrounding the winter olympics. Kimjung on has been briefed by a delegation of senior officials, including his sister, whove just returned to pyongyang, from the south. The international charity, oxfam, is under more pressure with the revelation that some of its staff in haiti and chad sexually exploited people they were sent to help. The British Government has given them until the end of the week to explain how it will make sure 5uch abuses never happen again. Now on bbc news, the travel show
