In a squeezed market, tens of thousands of these smart cars are being produced at this factory in france every year. When the workforce arrive on shift, they know theyll finish slightly later than they used to. The 35hour working week at the factory has come to an end to try to increase productivity. Some extra hours are being paid at a reduced rate. In return the company has promised to secure workers jobs until 2020. Translation right now this is a preventative move.

He ignored a public prosecutors recommendation to pay back the money. Were expecting this ruling today plus there are those ongoing questions about his relationship with the gupta family and government appointments from a couple of weeks ago. All in all it doesnt look very good for him. Reporter without a doubt. Theres an extraordinary amount of pressure being put on president zuma in the last few months. Weve seen it ramp up with all the scandals he has been embroiled in. Dont forget the firing of the finance minister in december of last year which led to the currency being weakened and investors pulling out. This matter, however, harks back several years to revelations that more than 60 Million Dollars was spent in upgrading his private residence in the rural province. They were supposed to be on security upgrades. It emerged that millions of dollars of that was not on security upgrades. It was on things like a Swimming Pool and anam pitheater. The Public Protector found that he unduly benefited and he should pay park back a portion. Since then the president has been dismissive of it, as several parliamentary investigation , one by the minister of police, basically exxon rated the president and it was dismissive of any idea he should pay back anything. So weve seen the Economic Freedom fighters and the democratic alliance, opposition parties bring this case to the countrys highest court. They want clarification on whether the Public Protectors reports and findings are binding. They want a ruling saying that they breached the constitution in not upholding the Public Protectors finding in the report how close is the anc or members of the anc in parliament to saying this man is very close to being a political liability because there are local elections not so far very far away. Reporter there are, absolutely. I think were still a little way from that. Obviously, so much depends on the ruling of the constitutional court. 11 judges and the strength of that ruling. It seems quite likely that they may find that he does need to pay back a portion of the money because at the beginning of this hearing, he came out and did 180 degree turn in his position and said, yes, he concedes he should pay back some of the money. However, whether he deliberately breached the constitution in ignoring and rchg to abide by the Public Protectors findings is another matter.

Reporter Serbian Radical Party leader will not be in the hague on thursday when the judges pronounce his guilt or innocence of crimes against humanity. He will be in belgrade with the prospect of him being returned to the netherlands either voluntarily or otherwise looking remote. Translation brothers and sisters, i will not go back to the hague voluntarily. I will use every opportunity, every moment to inflict postal, political and moral to the hagu tribunal. Reporter in 2003 he did surrender to the hague while supporters openly wept for him. Over the past 13 years by a variety of means he has taken great relish in snubbing and spiting the international court. First, he refused to enter a plea. He rejected legal representation and refused to accept the legitimacy of the tribunal. He succeeded in having one of the trial judges disqualified for bias, the first war crimes defendant ever to manage that. All of which somewhat over shadowed the gravity of the charges which are nine counts of crimes against humanity. The prosecution describes him as a scandal master who mobilized his partys militia to terrorize, ransack and murder rival ethnic groups. Tens of thousands of nonserbs were forcibly deported, many were tortured, beaten and sexually assaulted. But in 2014 he was diagnosed with liver cancer and persuaded the court to let him go back to serbia for treatment. He received a heros welcome on his return. When the court in the hague recalled him to prison in the netherlands, serbia refused to return him. So uniquely it will be delivered without him being in court. The International Criminal tribunal apparently powerless to compel him. Translation obviously, this is a criminal who is laughing to our faces and to the whole world and to the Hague Tribunal it is ridiculous.

She used the opportunity to push back forcefully against her critiques and left in no uncertain teerms how she feels about the process. Translation impeachment without proom of crime of responsibility is what . Its a coup. This is the issue. There is no point pretending that we are discussing a hypothetical impeachment. We are discussing a very concrete impeachment without crime of responsibility. Theres no point in discussing whether impeachment is or is not written in the constitution. It is. But what is not written is that without crime and responsibility, impeachment can be passed legally and legitimately. The name of that is coup. Reporter here at congress a special economy continues the impeachment hearings. They expect to conclude their work by the second week of april.

The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment for the woman . Yeah. There has to be form. Ten cents ten year . Why not . I do not know. You take positions on Everything Else yes but it is a complicated position he later back tracked. The doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb. My position has not changed World Leaders are arriving in the u. S. For a summit on Nuclear Security. More than 50 countries and International Organizations are attending a meeting in washington.

Reporter more than 440 million tons of cargo pass through the port here each year mashging it the largest in europe. With every shipping container and shipment of scrap metal comes the potential for Dangerous Nuclear materials to be brought in or exported. These are sources coming from all over the world. They are coming from a ban doned hospitals and things like that. Sometimes they have contaminated steel. For instance, tubing pipes and now that they have had one case where they had some small pipes that were contaminated with uranium. Reporter radiation censors in the claw of each crane sound the alert if anything suspicious is found. It is isolated and passed to government scientists. Containers are checked as theyre driven through the part. Around 150 shichlts each year are found to have unusual levels of radiation. Shipments. Reporter when suspicious material is found it is brought here. Samples are taken and analysed to try and understand what it is and whether it poses a threat. Recent finds have included depleted uranium cylinders from pakistan, testing material from russia and unused nuclear fuel pellet from germany. Frequently importers are unaware their cargo is contaminated and blame suppliers for not checking the safety of the materials. Theyre only finding a fraction of the Nuclear Material being transported illegally and admits some of it could be much more dangerous. The material which is discovered, being out of regulatory controls or intercepted, is most likely not all the material which is around there. So what we see is the tip of the iceberg, but we dont know how big the iceberg is. Reporter experts say low level Nuclear Material such as those often found pose only a small threat to public health. Even if they were used as part of a socalled dirty bomb. Of much greater concern is highly radio active nuclear fuel or weapons grade material. Translation the organizations are also acting upon opportunities that they have, so thats why the Nuclear Security summit, for instance, is so important, that you secure the things that they dont have an easy opportunity to obtain the material. Reporter back at the port the seemingly endless job of unloading scrap metal continues.

Sea levels could double by the end of the century. The new results challenge the climate panels forecast which predicted the melting to be significantly lower.
