Ok progress across developments out of egypt on our website we have context and analysis on this latest attack on the church and its regularly updated by our online team at al jazeera dot com now south Africa Parliament has been ordered to launch proceedings that could remove president jacob zuma from office the Constitutional Court made the ruling saying parliament had failed to hold zuma to account over his socalled Home Improvements scandal so he had previously been found to have misspent taxpayers money upgrading his private residence zuma survive moves against him in parliament where the governing African National congress has a majority more recently though hes lost a. N. C. Support and has been replaced as party leader so apart from the furore surrounding his. Political career has been rocked by other scandals in two thousand and six before he became president zuma was acquitted of raping an hiv positive woman hes shocked a nation then by saying hed taken a shower to avoid contract in the virus there was a poor in twenty fifteen when zuma suddenly fired his finance minister replacing him with another largely unknown politician for their sacking since then have undermined Investor Confidence and zuma has come under fire over alleged influence peddling involving south africas powerful group the family which reportedly secured government tenders and influenced ministerial appointments tanya page as the latest from johannesburg. The Constitutional Court south africas highest court has found that the National Assembly thats parliament failed to take appropriate action against president jacob zuma and relation to gross overspending of taxpayers dollars on his private home called income the Constitutional Court says the first thing that should happen is that the National Assembly needs to come up with a comprehensive list of rules and regulations which perhaps could lead to the impeachment of president zuma however they didnt go so far as to say thats what should happen because that would be in breach of the separation of powers the opposition parties who brought this legal action were pleased with the outcome nonetheless the constitutional delinquent mr zuma in no time will be scrutinised will be brought before parliament to be accountable because his own Political Party has actually failed to hold him accountable and we can with the other day longer we need to be in parliament in no less than did todays before the state of the nation address of twenty eight. In their defense president zuma and the speaker of parliament both sit it wasnt true that the National Assembly had done nothing multiple votes of no confidence in president zuma has been house and theyve all been defeated and thats what it comes down to its a matter of numbers in parliament because impeaching a president is a parliamentary process so even when there are rules in place that could lead to impeaching a president ultimately that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing African NationalCongress Holds the majority and so be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment so as youve been hearing zuma has faced several serious allegations of corruption and the a. N. C. Has lost support as a result while the new leader of the a. N. C. Says he has a new vision for the country and will fight corruption so on an earlier episode of inside story has some had better ask says guest if Cyril Ramaphosa can save the party of Nelson Mandela has al jazeera dot com bent to shows and click on inside story china is denying allegations u. S. Allegations that is that its been violating u. N. Sanctions on north korea by selling oil the assertions are based on satellite pictures taken in october which appear to show chinese ships transferring oil to north korean vessels the us President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure via twitter so take a look at what he said caught red handed very disappointed that china is allowing oil to go into north korea and there will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen rob mcbride has more reaction from beijing. China will not be happy with this latest criticism from President Trump coming in such a public stinging manner but its true to say that china has become used to dealing with the United States in a different way over the past year and has been accustomed to President Trumps tweets at the ministry of Foreign Affairs regular press briefing friday in beijing there was no specific reference or reply to this latest attack but the Spokes Person was asked about the allegations concerning this hong kong registered vessel seized in south korea for allegedly dealing in illicit oil with north korea the Ministry Said that it has been investigated to the chinese customs have no record of this vessel visiting a chinese port since august although it has no records of it whether it visited other ports as far as it knows the Chinese Government does not know of any Illicit Activity that this vessel has been involved in repeating that the Chinese Government is still very much committed to enforcing the u. N. Sanctions whether china has known about any trades that might be taking place its difficult to believe that any illegal activity or transfer of oil at sea could take place without chinas knowledge and it would fit with the general narrative of china quietly supporting the north korean regime not necessarily out of any loyalty to an old ally but really as a pragmatic measure to shore up the regime as far as china is concerned its a comparable blee live with a Nuclear Armed north korea not an ideal situation but for china the unacceptable situation is a collapsing regime that still has access to Nuclear Warheads that for china is the worst Case Scenario rosen jordan following this story from washington giving us the u. S. Perspective and trump has expanded honest thoughts about china in fact during a wide ranging interview rosalind alongside that tweet. Well it wasnt so much that he was thinking about trying to weigh in on the north korea situation but in this interview with the New York Times the president indicated that he had been holding back on punishing china economically by imposing some sort of trade restrictions in the hope that beijing would actually live up to its Security Council obligations and actually cut back or stop all oil and natural gas shipments to the north korean government and thats because north korea doesnt have any of those stockpiles of its own it cant produce oil or natural gas and so without it basically the north korean economy grinds to a halt of course there is the other concern that many have raised about whether this would end up hurting the north Korean People but in the face of north koreas repeated efforts to deepen its Nuclear Weapons expertise and to actually build a Nuclear Weapons the u. S. Has been trying to make certain that those ambitions are stopped in any way possible and of course that does come on the heels of the recent Security Council resolution to basically stop nearly all natural gas imports into the country so there was a little bit of news daryn coming out of this New York Times interview but he did say that he doesnt think that beijing has been doing enough and that he is prepared to perhaps impose trade restrictions on something that he says should be pretty obvious to the chinese that a north korean government with Nuclear Weapons is an existential threat to beijing as well as to neighboring russia stand by rosalind because we want to talk about another president ial tweet thats caused a stir this one about Climate Change and the bitter winter conditions and some. Parts of the u. S. So this is what the president tweeted in the east it could be the coldest new years eve on record perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our country but not other countries was going to pay trillions of dollars to protect against a bundle up rosin supposed joining us in a moment because hell give us the reaction online to that tweets as im sure theres a lot of reaction but one just kind of wonder is what message hes trying to send out with with a tweet like that. Well im not in the president s mind so i cant really say what was the motivating factor for the president s commentary except for the fact that we should note that he is at one of his properties in florida where the temperature today is going to be in the mid twentys and we already understand that hes already out for another day of golfing so hes not having to actually deal with subzero temperatures here in the northeast or across indeed much of the United States where the temperatures are not just very very cold big life threatening certainly the president. You know really in endured a lot of criticism some would say justifiably so because he has started the process of pulling the United States out of the paris climate agreement and he also has been taking steps to try to put people at the Environmental ProtectionAgency People who do not believe that Global Warming is an actual problem not just for the people live on the planet but for the environment as well ok jordan giving us the update from washington thank you well andrew is here as i was saying he joined us here a social media producer youve seen the tweet what reaction have you seen from not only climb to climate scientists but other people as well well daryn we have to start by putting the tweet back up because weve seen so many people responding to it ive never seen i havent seen it in a very long time thats been unpacked in this way one hundred seven thousand folks have gone on twitter its respond directly to the president many of them poking holes in this tweet on Global Warming you have politicians and climate scientists sure but generally many people pointing out that there are several pop problematic points the first being in their view that he doesnt appear to know the difference between weather and climates the difference comes down to a measure of time weather describes conditions of the atmosphere over a short pier. Could of time while climate is how the atmosphere behaves over relatively long periods of time nasa says the climate can be thought of as the sum of long periods of weather in other words weather is the mood and climate is the personality the folks over at dictionary dot com have chimed into this saying second issue with the president s tweet that he uses conditions in one part of the United States to represent whats happening or arguably not happening globally.
