Lets move on to our other top story now in zimbabwe where people are celebrating after president Robert Mugabe announced his resignation the shock announcement ended nearly four decades of rule it followed a tumultuous week that saw a military takeover mass demonstrations and a desperate mugabi clinging to power in the face of impeachment proceedings. Joy and relief on the streets of harare thirty seven years of Robert Mugabes rule has come to an end d. W. Correspondent Christine Munda on hand to witness history. Just minutes earlier members of the Zimbabwean Parliament listened as the speaker of the hives read out a statement from Robert Mugabe. In terms of going to see one all because two thousand of them bob well hear bond for monday. In motion as the president of the republic will. We immediate effect. The speaker went on to read mugabes reasons for stepping down. My decision today. Is what im talking on my on and out rather well michael said. For the welfare of the people of zimbabwe over my desire to ensure. More peaceful and nonviolent song. Thats on the. National security. And. Mugabes departure marks the end of a crisis that began last week when the military intervened to stop the rise to power of mugabes wife grace that then developed into a popular revolt. Our correspondent christine moaned well in that report and she joins us from harare with more as the focus that turns to mugabe is long time deputy hi christine good to see you so emerson im in god why is widely expected to take over now and he set to return there to harare soon and we have heard reports from the state broadcaster that he would be sworn in on friday what more can you tell us. Well that is a tsunami and we are awaiting his arrival here was he had fled the country fearing for his slice he is now due to return from south africa any moment now and yes he is expected to be sworn in on friday that is the initial plan at this stage how are people been reacting christine. People are excited in fact i was Walking Around the streets of the capital this morning and you know the revelry. Has has died down much less gone back to normal but it is still the talking points that everybody you know its is really having the discussion about the future of this country a lot of people still in shock believe that really were talking about the first day with republic mugabe not president of the focus of the excitement is still there but life is continuing as sunni people are looking forward to the return of innocent now go to to take over and run this country Going Forward at least for the short term sunni looking to that future christine what cans them barbarians expect will anything change under a new leader especially under someone who was actually closely linked to the mugabe regime. The city the way this is all paid out you know zanu p. F. Right now in the eyes of the people is the party thats the liberation thing from from Robert Mugabe and guys and innocent and that general who we saw a week ago making the announcement that the army had taken over Constantine Jim and that these are two very controversial figures in this country to fit people people who have been known to to be ruthless people who have been known to to to really be in forces off mugabe is full of mugabes term and so right now because Robert Mugabe has gone there you know people are also. Almost glossing over all of that right now but that the reality is that the future is very uncertain and those who can take a step back a worried now about these characters coming in and taking the fall because questions are are they going to change or they simply going to be worse some people see it than what we saw with Robert Mugabe many people even saying an old man will prosecute this morning and say you know i actually think not go is worse than then will god be but it remains to be seen really but what the constitution sais is that none of us should own you really stand as president for the remainder of her up macleod based him off to which the country must go to a general election that would mean up until july next year ok and christine just briefly if you can where does all of this leave Robert Mugabe whats happening happens to him and his wife grace. Well thats a question everybodys asking we know that this family has amassed incredible wealth of the is im talking about owning huge assets like mine she commercial farms prophecies in all corners of the world essentially at least waited all sanctioned so they have the option ready to take calls and go anyway they they can choose where theyre allowed to go and it seems as if they have been guaranteed immunities here that they would be prosecuted and that for the most part they wealth isnt going to be touched so we dont know who gets about the fate of the mugabes whether theyll choose to remain in zimbabwe or theyll choose to go broad and if they do choose to go abroad we can only guess ways.
