african president jacob zuma who's facing pressure to resign after a corruption probe the ruling african national congress says it will move a no confidence motion against zuma if he doesn't step down by thursday meanwhile police have raided the home of the prominent business family with close ties to the president and arrested three people they sailed off the roads around the globe. the family home and to harrisburg with the area designated a crime scene. is accused of being influenced by the first to make government decisions and cabinet appointments investigation is also looking at whether the group does and some of the family members were involved and international money laundering that's just one of many corruption accusations against the south african president has been linked to bribery over a line nine hundred ninety nine arms deal and is accused of spending twenty three million dollars of government money to renovate has private home let's get more on all of this now we're joined by corresponding farmer the miller is live for us in pretoria so the african national congress is giving jacob zuma until thursday to resign a farmer there what more are you hearing. from the ruling parties differently run out of patience that initially said that they didn't have a deadline and know that jacob zuma has not come forward with any indication about when he would resign the a.n.c. has said you have until the end of the day and if you don't resign we are instituting a motion of no confidence in parliament now it was actually the opposition party the economic freedom right economic freedom fighters that had pushed for this motion of no confidence in parliament now the a n c a can't bring for their own because there's an existing motion and so they're taking over that one and amending it to bring in their reasoning the a.n.c. is very much wanted to take ownership of the removal of jacob zuma and is very much in the past been reluctant to vote along with any other motion of no confidence that was brought by opposition parties the a.n.c. leadership has said that south africa needs closure and they need to move on and this is dragging out too long had been criticised for not taking any action against jacob zuma now that he's decided that he should be recalled that they decided to recall him developments are happening quite quickly once that motion of no confidence is held in parliament on. thursday they say they want to elect a new president in parliament and once that happens they're talking about the state of the nation which was address which was the address which was postponed earlier this month because of all these difficulties around jacob zuma and whether or not he would be in office they want the state of the nation address to take place on friday followed by the though the budget address which usually takes place towards the end of february the a.n.c. is really trying to move on from the difficulty jacob zuma to create an impression of business as usual but mostly this is a party that's now grown fed enough fed up with the president who seems to not be making any move towards resigning and first only been a busy day in south africa from of the. early hours of wednesday morning where have the police raid being the family home that family that has had so many question marks surrounding it and their toys to the president. they're known they're accused rather of being influential in terms of government policy the appointment of ministers and it all has to do with their relationship with jacob zuma now this raid has to do with an investigation into a dairy farm in the free state province that was supposed to empower farmers in that region but millions of dollars have allegedly been siphoned out of the government project into businesses owned by the gupta family and one of those businesses also has links to the son of jacob zuma is believed to be a shareholder so it really appears it's as if the net is closing around jacob zuma the relationship with the cook the family and also link to his own family jacob zuma is really is in a difficult position now the pressure is certainly mounting and we do expect to see more arrests around investigations on his allegations of corruption. thank you very much for that for now that's our correspondent on. the millage one is live from pretoria we're going to get more on this now we're joined by mia say with a visiting fellow at bro brookings doha center very good to have you with us thinking on al-jazeera so we'll be in saying that the pressure is mounting on president zuma and has been mounting for a very long time and we have been here before with no confidence motions but this time his own party the a and c. is supporting it yes this is very significant and the fact that the national executive committee recalled him yesterday is of enormous and balik significance because this shows a united move on the part of the a.n.c. and it really shows that the bell has told for him you know this is the end the question is just how exactly this will go forward and my prediction is if this is that will be a motion of no confidence coming up in the next two days and and will he face corruption charges this is a big question here i think that there are so many charges hanging over his head it is so serious and also civil society organizations have mobilized over a year is you know to get their act together in terms of litigation and i really think that in terms of you know south africa being a constitutional state it will be correct and it's expected that it will go ahead the only question i think is whether the new president will pardon him if he gets sentenced because that is always a possibility that there will be some sort of pardon over the last days we knows you might has pushed quite heavily for immunity for legal fees being covered he's made all kinds of demands but the he's not in a position to to meet in terms of immunity because we're a constitutional state it is simply illegal to extend immunity and i would be very surprised if the charges all dropped would then does this leave right now the the a.n.c. the african national congress and. the leader several run oppose or do you think. well i think that things can only get better for them because they over the last you know. there's been increasing division between the pros camp and he's in my camp right suma still has some supporters but i think that you know he has some supporters inquisition at all but on the highest level we've seen that the national executive committee has agreed on moving him out which is of tremendous significance so i think it does show that the party can still take strong action and show that they they're united we need really matches all this and will sit around the plaza because the clane slate that the party needs. well of course some of those made statements about keeping things up and i think the rating of the good morning in section will in johannesburg is very significant because it's almost you know a concrete action of cleaning up and that to me also indicates that they might be a prosecution the fact that the hawks had raided that particular home but of course they are you know this scene is in c. members who by no means can be said to not be corrupt so i think that if zuma you know gets charged again. they will definitely be an insistence that the high level in c. members gets charged as well for corruption so it will go beyond him because the rot has spread quite wide very interesting few days ahead and south africa we thank you very much may i say what for your insights into this thank you very much. this may want to other news now kuwait says it will lend a billion dollars to iraq and has committed another billion as an investment that happened at the conclusion of a summit in kuwait city to raise funds for iraq's reconstruction iraqi officials say up to one hundred billion dollars as needed after the defeat of eisel well earlier the us agreed to three billion dollars worth of credit for baghdad secretary of state rex tillerson called on other coalition members to help out iraq to clear victory of iceland december after a three year war three were shot were good to us we recognize the magnitude of the destruction that has been inflicted on iraq as a result of the terrorist organization taking control of certain areas and the subsequent fighting until victory was achieved and iraqi territory has been liberated this is caused us to unite and join forces to bring life back to iraqis rebuild the country and reconstruct the basic installations this is cause us to call on the international community to take part and live up to its responsibilities but let's get more on this now we're joined by whose life arise in kuwait city so what are the numbers looking like so fos at me. well let's crunch some numbers then. the latest ones which are coming in i can tell you about a billion dollars has been pledged by her in the form of. grants turkey pledged almost double the amount of money that the usa pledged five billion but again as a credit line this is not this is not a grant saudi arabia's lives one and a half billion dollars again as a loan the e.u. pledged four hundred million dollars in aid now when you start to add up all these numbers it looks like we're talking around something like sixteen billion dollars so far. but all of that money if you ask the question how much of that won't be having to iraq's debt burden looks like a rock. around two billion of that in the form of rounds that's still a far cry from the one hundred billion dollars that the iraqi prime minister has been saying it will cost to rebuild the country all the eighty eight billion dollars that the iraqi ministry of planning has been asking this conference for if you read between the lines of what the emir of kuwait said in his speech earlier today he put the focus on the private sector and the private sector entering into a partnership to rebuild iraq and that may be a signal that many governments are looking to what the private sector can do rather than wanting the spotlight to fall squarely on their shoulders to provide one hundred billion dollars let's also put into this the the background here that the united states of america the world's largest economy the world's preeminent superpower a country whose invasion of iraq in two thousand and three arguably led to the course of events in which iraq is trying to struggle out of this spiral of violence and it hasn't played a dollar so far in this conference in the form of a straightforward ground you've had to the country the president of the usa to rethink things about how money is being basically stupidly those are his words not mine spent towards the middle east he said the seven trillion dollars were a mistake that is difficult to see you know still about a few hours ago but difficult to see how or if the usa is is talking only three hundred billion in terms of a loan and we're going to see a lot of other countries rushing forward to fill the gap and make it up all the way to eighty eight billion dollars we have an online family and thank you very much for that for now that said sam is a fan joining us live from kuwait city thank you. and still ahead on the policy. what we have seen so far is cruel and barbaric to top it off they have the gall to blame the media the united nations steps up the pressure on myanmar's government are there a hendrix. isis and confronting racism and canada now the case of an indigenous man killed by a white farmer could change the country's criminal justice system. hello again we look at the weather
