We begin in zimbabwe where a much anticipated speech by president Robert Mugabe has failed to meet the expectations of those seeking has elster. Ended a televised address to the nation without announcing his resignation and stead vowing to stay on for several weeks how to toss a report from her body. Zimbabwes president Robert Mugabe insists hes not going to resign speaking from state house flanked by Army Generals he said he will be at his on a conference in december. Few weeks from now preside over it. Which must not be prepared. By any act. To undermine it all to compromise the outcome in the eyes of the public. The ruling party removed him as leader on sunday but he still as party member of the party has given mcgarvey until midday on monday to leave. They were expectations he would resign after massive demonstrations are saturday calling for him to step down these are Uncertain Times for the country a lot can happen in the next few hours days or weeks president mugabe is using to go he insists his fate should be decided at the december party conference. The army seize control earlier in the week and confine the countrys leader to his private residence in harare zanu p. F. Has reinstated him a synagogue where the former Vice President who mugabe fired he is now head of the grace magog has been removed as head of the partys Womens League and fired from zanu p. F. Is a master tactician he has survived assassination attempts and out of which it is enemies in the opposition and within his own Party President mugabe has made it clear hes not going down without a fight. Her. Own mugabe is an else but was watched closely around the world especially by zimbabwes neighbors tanya page has more from johannesburg. This much anticipated speech by zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe would have been watched by many South Africans and of course the many of them barbarians who now call this country home having left their own because of political persecution and many of course for economic reasons the fact that it didnt turn out how many people had expected with a resignation really shows us how fluid and dynamic this evolving situation is and that is perhaps why we saw a lot of his that and see on behalf of officials on sunday to comment on events unfolding there so south africas government said it didnt want to say anything until monday thats when the deadline is for coast to be reached here first put in place for the president to resign or else face and preachment and the Southern AfricanDevelopment Community or said it also didnt want to make any comment until after its emergency summit and choose day Luanda Angola south africa has played a leading role in trying to reach a amicable solution to what to what South African president jacob zuma describes as a political impasse he say and on voice to zimbabwe which have been photographed in these negotiations but i think on this day those negotiators really played a backseat role one of the things that really stood out for me and president mugabes speech was this line he said that the country has a legacy of resistance and i think he is really living up to that legacy if you like and holding on resisting this really unprecedented amount of pressure for him to step down. Stephen chan is no god his biographer and he says this is the end of the zimbabwe indeed his time in power. This is simply the old man going down with all of his guns firing. Blank shots however because they cant have any real effect hes a gentleman whos going to have to reinvent himself he does not have the worlds kindest past if i can put it this diplomatically is possible but i think he will try to reinvent himself so he can reconnect the country globally the task is very very much to forge some kind of economic base so the country can come out of great inflation come out of nonproductivity come out of a past where everything was maad four decades back and try to take the country into a future of stability it will take a long time before we can take it into actual prosperity i think three hundred Percent Inflation by christmas and i dont think you can reverse that overnight just by a new president this is going to take months of very very difficult work to even lay the foundations for reinvigoration of the economy and in fact theres no foundation except that Foreign Countries such as china for instance would pump some liquidity into the economy theres no Production Base that makes commercial sense of this moment in time. Lets move on to other news now a meeting of the arab league in cairo has agreed to condemn iran and hezbollah are labeling the lebanese corey a terrorist Organization Saudi Arabia requested the meeting to discuss alleged violations committed by iran in the region against a backdrop of heightened tensions between ziad and pedal arm but as smith has more. The egyptian secretary general of the twenty two nation arab league suggested they all shared concerns about iran is attempting to influence life across the arab world from yemen to lebanon to iraq and to syria. The whole region has suffered for the past few years the results and consequences of this dangerous iranian policy so dition violence. Divisions attacks on embassies actively supporting outlawed militias attacking legitimacy the list in reality is much longer. Saudi arabias foreign minister told the meeting but his countrys frustrations with iran go back decades all the way to the iranian revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine in night if you will any leniency towards irans hostile policies will encourage iran to continue with their hostile enterprise thats why today were required to stand up genuinely and honestly with our people and governments to adair to the charter of the arab league and International Laws and to stand up to these religious rights policies of iran. As they are oblique held its meeting irans foreign minister was in Southern Turkey the talks on the Syrian Civil War tweeting from there Mohamad Javid zarif said he was working to build on the ceasefire iran helped achieve in syria he added that the irony is that the kingdom of saudi arabia accuses iran of destabilization while itself fuels terrorists wages war on yemen blockades catarrh and foments crisis in lebanon and yemen iran denies accusations but it supports the rebels theyre fighting the Saudi Led Coalition which is fighting on behalf of yemens internationally recognized government in syria iranian backed fighters of help shore up forces loyal to president bashar assad saudi support opposition fighters and were accused of allowing their citizens to fight for eisel and lebanons Prime Minister resigned while in riyadh citing a reigning interference in lebanese politics the saudis were accused of forcing zada hariri to step down Bernard Smith aljazeera. Is a professor of middle east awnings at the university of oklahoma and he says some members of the arab league are hesitant about condemning iran or hezbollah to strongly because they have good relations were bad on. The arab league as a Regional Organization cannot do much and has not been a very powerful or Regional Organization even compared to other Regional Organizations there is one measure however that is quite practical and its a small measure and that has to do with Arab Telecommunications satellites no longer broadcasting iranian financed television stations thats really the only immediate practical implication of this so this is a largely symbolic gesture on the part of the saudis and on the part of the arab league that it is not certainly the entire arab world versus iran saudi arabia and the core elements beyond saudi arabia the quartet as it were the saudis the emraan ts the bahraini s. And the egyptians outside of the gulf now are the primary players in this conflict and sometimes egypt has a tapes with regards to some issues like for example syria but yes the herbal does divided and i dont think and as weve seen many other countries in the arab world including morocco for example tunisia algeria are fully in the so d. Camp with regards to iran or with regards to other issues that divide the saudis and there are iranians like the g. C. C. Qatar crisis for example and Israeli Cabinet ministers has has got one thats had contact with saudi arabia to discuss their concerns about Iran Energy Minister human steinitz made the disclosure and radio interview it is the first time the same as or any politician has confirmed such contact is taking place steinitz was off why israel was keeping its ties with saudi secret he said for nations with muslim countries often head and because thats what the other country wants. I can say that we have secret relations with moderate arab and Muslim States we dont shy away from that but the other side is the one which wants to keep such relations quiet we respect the desire of the other side if we are dealing with saudi arabia or any other arab or muslim countries we have to protect the secrecy its true that saudi arabia is not a Democratic State and we prefer to work with Democratic States but saudi arabia during the last two years has become more moderate it has moved clearly against terrorism and against inciting terrorism and it works with us against the expansion and aggression of iran.
