A line to their old former student could be an expansion of the school is in police custody. And australias Prime Minister bans sexual relations between government ministers and members of this topic that softer revelations of guilt that he was having an extramarital affair with the former press secretary we find out really are reacting to this development. In a warm welcome to you im on the thought she. We begin in south africa is set to elect a new president today sit in the Deputy President is due to be sworn in he take over from Jacob Zuma Hall finally announced his resignation last night in a televised address to the nation zuma had lost the support of his a. N. C. Party which gave him an ultimatum to step down. The end of an era for south africa. Ever the showmen zuma began the final address of his presidency with a typical moment of humor and judgment. To do serious work kind of in six different. Whats happening. Yet when the smiles had passed. A weary figure abandoned by the a. N. C. Which had served for over sixty years he said violence and Party Infighting that swayed his decision to step down. See should never be divided in my. I have therefore come to the decision to resign as president of the republic with immediate effect. Zuma became president in two thousand and nine with the a. N. C. I call the looking on zuma had been jailed alongside mandela in the apartheid years but his rule was soon dominated by economic stagnation and corruption scandals. The a. N. C. Became mired in wrangling over his fitness for office that culminated this week in a demand for his resignation but even on wednesday zuma insisted he done nothing wrong i have a feeling that the leadership is. Not even helping me to understand what is it that is so critical. Its yes or no you must go you must just got a problem with that but the allegations of corruption arent going away on wednesday and police staged a dramatic raid on the home of zuma is Close Associates the wealthy gupta family. Its alleged they are unfairly one lucrative government contracts and even influenced the choice of ministers in the cabinet. With zuma now gone many South Africans are hoping things will change. Because its about sports and. The way people are supported i think they can see what was used for the a. N. C. And this is for the country and i think it can only get better. In c. And g. Major battles lie ahead for jacob zuma against the scandals hanging over him for the a. N. C. Against south africas economic hardship. And for some of us is a high with me christine a moon deval whose joins me now for in the studio you bet you said the last twenty four hours i can see christina. Really for us what is going to happen the next couple of days all right so off to parliament so rebels as president he needs to be sworn in we are and we understand that could either happen later today or tomorrow they also indicated that he wants and they want him to present the state of the nation address tomorrow evening ok now this is really the end of design era as we know it but the many many corruption allegations against do you think hes been given some kind of immunity from prosecution in return for him stepping down less than a good christian image and a lot of people are wondering the same thing because in the build up to his resignation they have been reports that he is demanding some form of in unity the immunity is not for the a. N. C. Or sorum of course a to give but they do understand obviously that when they are in power they can use and exercise certain make in isms to shield him from prosecution it will only become clear when those things start happening whether or not he was in deep granted immunity but as far as they see line from sort of polls has been is that we are not interested and will not be giving president jacob zuma any form of immunity ok youve lived in south africa youve worked there as a journalist recently what the reactions are you hearing from the. Resignation for the most part people have embraced this people have been waiting for this moment for very very long time and reached a prison jacob zuma eluded to that himself when he said whats new i mean if they if hes using the reason that people want to be out of office thats not new people have been saying zuma must go for a long time and so when it came to that moment yesterday the relief that a lot of people were breathing on social media for example you could see it in the tweets you could see it in the meantime so coming up on social media this resignation has been welcomed by and large and we can show as of our viewers some of that recent. Yes it would be very beautiful very positively part of the party most threw a party because hes right he wanted to see this i think it depends on the day i think its a big. Day and i think it could be three fourths of every caveman time was long overdue you know and then im expecting for a meeting yeah you might be to write down the i need to have their microphones even for a. Little of expectations of sitting there and i guess one of the full stasi to have we need to unite the a. N. C. Behind him would you be able to do that well that is that is the question part of uniting the agency means that he has to even embrace the zuma faction of the party and whats key to watch is the cabinet that im opposed to now has to build followings in this resignation the procedure is that all ministers and defeated ministers should also resign so he has to build a new cabinet and it will be interesting to see off what hes going to do with his picks is he going to completely shut down the slope or to zoom annoyingness because that in itself would be telling as to how he is going to be dealing with the divisions in the party but that is them and you need to challenge keeping that party united and of course this is one of the reasons why he said he did not want to fall soon out of office he didnt want to further divide the party so lets watch his cabinet and well see just how hes going to go about balancing the divisions in the poshest and as far as the nation goes what would be his immediate priority as the it would be the economy and resale we know that plus of africans are getting poorer or the Economic Indicators paint a very stark picture Going Forward people one needs jobs sessile africa has a rigorous twenty five percent Unemployment Rate its often young people without jobs without work ramos has to deal with the economy he also has to tackle corruption which has been rife under the presidency of jacobson.

Monica joins me now from Business News and a Surprise Development in the car industry monica evil belittle you can you believe it is on the rise he caused still sell less successfully than combustion and diesel engines but the latest global sales figures are promising despite worries about scarce resources and a lack of charging stations take a look only two hundred thousand electric cars were on the streets in two thousand and twelve but that number more than doubled within a year by twenty fifteen theyve cracked the one million mark and in twenty sixteen they reached two million only a year later the number of ecos around the world rose by an impressive fifty five percent to reach three point two million china has emerged as the it cut champion with one point two million electric cars the country boasts the most successful eco produces and its recently raised its subsidies for longer range electric costs germany however lacks behind with only ninety three thousand electric cars so for more on the future of the mobility also here in germany lets cross over to man of the front foot Stock Exchange where you first of all whats behind that rise that growth of immobility around the world. Well i think partly legislation because the chinese for example are making it more difficult for Combustion Engine Cars California is going to move in that direction as well and people want to drive an environmentally friendly way i think they see the sense behind that the theory and of course there are subsidies also offers of free parking for example or free power thats all behind it and theres a certain fascination to eat cars as well the people ive talked to who have been in one ive personally havent been in a pure car they say its fascinating the way these cars move and theyre very very silent well i mean there is still a lot of room for growth they are what hes calm praying that growth at the moment. You mentioned china with one point two million cars and you have to put that into perspective the chinese car market twenty seventeen over twenty four million passenger cars sold and here in germany ninety three thousand you said and the german car market is over three million strong so basically its still a drop in the bucket lack of power stations to charge while youre on the road the distance thats involved that you can drive on one charge and when you put air conditioning on and perhaps listen to music and power your phone and you have even less distance charging at your home is a problem especially if you dont have a garage or parking on the street or in an Apartment Building there are lots of these practical issues at stake and also of course people looking at the price of these cars comparing for example a compact car from a german manufacturer ecar version to the combustion car version you get a lot more car for your money with a combustion car at the moment at least twenty thousand francs it thank you so much. European aviation giant abas has released its annual results and that pretty good annual profit jumped to two point nine billion euros thats some two billion more than in the Previous Year but there are clouds on the horizon and december announced a management shakeup in the wake of corruption allegations and this trouble with some of its aircraft models starting with the ailing a three eighty super jumbo which was almost canceled due to lack of demand but which was given a lifeline last month when dubai based carrier emirates ordered thirty six planes and there is the a four hundred m. Military transport plane which was commissioned back in two thousand and three but its been plagued by losses due to technical problems but demand for the a three twenty series remains robust the narrow bodied jets there are of special interest to Asian Airlines china for one is reportedly planning to buy one hundred eighty four of them this year and just tested a long range transatlantic version so lets talk a little bit more about whats in store for us my colleague joins me now here in the studio and youve been keeping an eye on on abas first of all what do you make of those results good to bat ok well the expectations were definitely of an improvement on last years results but the increase was actually anticipated to be higher so a bit of a mixed bag there in terms of expectations and what we actually caught but twenty seven thousand was generally a good year for air bus in terms of deliveries we saw seven hundred eighteen thats a Record Number but the hit on the a four hundred m. Of one point three billion euros thats of course the military transport plane is definitely making itself felt that were still waiting for some guidance on other features like production now theyve previously signaled perhaps eight hundred this year but we have yet to confirm that all right but we do maybe know the the a three eighty is safe at least for the time being well for now it seems the. Theres a good chance that it could be saved i remember when you and i were talking back in november during the dubai air show and hopes the band seemed rather desperate for a deal now fast forward to january and emirates was the one who blinks first and coughed up sixteen billion dollars and the eighty three eighty eight lives another day or in this case at least for the next ten years but you see this deal is pretty much the textbook definition of putting all your eggs in one basket now its definitely going to need some more customers if it wants to survive and if it wants have Sustainable Production but what the deal with emirates actually does a signal to the rest of the industry that there is a market person precise planes at a time of increasing passenger demand and tighter slots at airports but ed was itself a sort of seems to sort of focus shift the focus to the a three twenty which is a short and medium whole flight normally but as we just heard its just performed its first chance atlantic flight is that the future exactly so that was the a three twenty one of the long range version of the a three twenty now there are certainly features that make it viable like improved engine efficiency and the fact that well what they say anyway is that you can save up to thirty percent on long haul routes that are have been traditionally dominated by flagship carriers and Even Airlines so a single aisle also means more Seating Capacity interesting for medium sized carriers. Are looking to break into the long haul market but of course passenger comfort is going to be an issue. Theres always obviously very little leg room and single aisle means longer lines for the toilets ok so maybe they need to do some reflection vision i dont have there with me in the studio thank you so much. To australia now where Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has imposed a bound government ministers having sexual relations with members of this stuff this as his deputy bought to be joyce survived a parliamentary vote on whether he should be fired over revelations he had an affair with a coma government worker its reported that joyce will take leave of absence as his National Party decides the future of the australian leader has stood by his deputy but joyce will not act as acting Prime Minister when turnbull travels to the us next week the countrys leader may distant im not here. To moralize but we must recognise that what ever may have been acceptable or to which a blind eye was turned in the past today in two thousand and eighteen it is not acceptable for a minister to have a sexual relationship with somebody who works for them. So that was a straight Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull whitley this studio is did of report a Job Interview whos been following that story judd welcome not the Prime Minister said he doesnt want to modernize the what is the context of this whole story how does john flint well this scandal began last week when one of astray is because tabloids the sydney Daily Telegraph published on its front page. To be joyces pregnant Vicki Campion campion used to be to be joyces media adviser after the story broke the deputy Prime Minister had to admit to the affair also to his wife who he was a strange from but theyve been married for twenty four years and hes four daughters so it was news to them as well Barnaby Joyce came out and said look this is a private matter between me and my family please treated as such but it seems to merge that they could be used to misconduct around here because often Vicki Campion left ivana b. Joyces office she went to work for two of his ministerial colleagues in high paying jobs all while the affair was allegedly taking place the relegation shit wasnt declared as is required by the ministerial code of conduct and bonamy joyce says thats because when she was working for me and for my colleagues we werent pot is at the time but we are now so thats leading to questions as to whether he is really telling the truth and its also put the code of conduct in a bit of a gray area what constitutes a pot so that could be why the Prime Minister has banned six between politicians and the office which you might imagine already would be the case but it seems like it was and it seems have been of the joyces comments have come back to haunt him well thats right people are calling him out on his apparent hypocrisy because this is a man whos held up as a family man but while the affair was taking place voiced his opposition to same sex marriage because he said it undermined traditional marriage this is a man who voiced his opposition to the Cervical Cancer vaccine because he said it could make girls promiscuous its also a message that hes living rent free in a house with his new pot not. Owned by a millionaire. This man friend of he is so people asking is there more misconduct going on around here its put pressure on the Government Bond to be joyces losing support in the zionist state but the Prime Minister cant really afford to lose them because the governments only go to one seat majority sorry if bonamy joy specially palm and that could you know cause all sorts of other chaos and be if you judge how australians are reacting to all these developments well in response to the Prime Ministers ban on sex between politicians and their stuff is the hash tag bunk bad and its. Reactions from journalist Jen Dudley Nicholson Public Service announcement youve got until the end of the day today to break up with your politician boss just a day off to valentines tour and this person writes ive got to be honest i joined a bank just dont use my taxes to finance it be responsible for your banking financially and politically some wise words but i just have you thank you very much for being on the story thank you if you listen to a bit of sport not in champions nick soccer last time it was a big win for liverpool and they beat portugal five nil away in the last sixteen first leg the gabba clash between riyadh madrid and fire ascension mad or sad drama.
