Welcome to the show south africas governing African National congress has secured a 6th straight term and power but with a diminished mandate with all votes counted the a. N. C. Has been declared the winner with 57. 5 percent but thats its lowest share since the end of white minority rule 25 years ago the party has been battling Corruption Scandals a sluggish economy and record unemployment even so it was far ahead of its closest rival the Opposition Democratic Alliance which trailed at just under 21 percent. President s are already on post a b. And c. Was speaking just a short while ago and for tauriel following the announcement of those official results heres what he had to say let us know we Work Together black and right maybe remain young and old to build a free car that truly belongs to all who live in it. Proclaims our will. Drop to the Freedom Charter one a free car which is united which is nonracial one thinks just democratic and prosperous. For more on this t w e n k h joins me now from cape town now its official the a. N. C. Has won not only that they won the absolute majority and they celebrated certainly their celebrations happening today i mean after all the party won by
a 37 percent margin compared to the stick and Strongest Party the Democratic Alliance so theres already a celebration scheduled even for tomorrow but serum of course has said it in his 1st public appearance after the official results where and now as to this not really the time to celebrate only its actually the time to get back to work for his government and deliver on the promises that they mate so what are people expecting from around the post i now expect a lots remember the a. N. C. Has been in power for 25 years and in that time they could not deliver all the promises that they made they still huge pos of the population living in poverty here the economy is down more than every 2nd young person is unemployed south africa is one of the most equal societies in the world where by. Just part of the biggest part of the will to still owned by the white minority so theres a lot of things to do a lot of expectations and now its time for us or im opposed to deliver because he
promised to make things very different then the governments that where in power before though they were all governments of his very own party. The end scene did lose a lot of support why is that. Well because they failed to deliver on their promises and one point is also the issue of corruption that is really bothering a lot of south africans theyre complaining about it that the a. N. C. Didnt seem to take it really as a big issue in the past years remember under the government of former president jacob zuma corruption was rampant in all levels of Governance Corruption happens nobody really seemed to take care of it and said he will change that he will go after people also in his own party if it is proven that they are corrupt and this is what south africans are really keenly officer having right now if you will walk is talk.

The United States is applying an assault ship and a Missile Battery to the persian gulf to bolster other military vessels already in the area the u. S. Said the move was in response to a possible threat to u. S. Forces in the region by iran but they didnt specify the nature of that threat iran on the other hand has dismissed the claim the merely deployed vessels are the
u. S. S. Arlington which transports marines and landing aircraft as well as Patriot Air Defense missiles they will join the u. S. S. Abraham lincoln carrier thats already there. For more im joined now by daniel gallo a middle east analyst Welcome To The Show the u. S. Claims tehran mind be preparing to conduct what it calls offensive operations against u. S. Forces or its interests what evidence is there for this theres been a lot of discussions in American Media about some media claim that they say that they have sources in the Intelligence Community that intelligence has been inflated not mischaracterized but inflated by the by the white house look if we want to look at a possible scenario we should probably look back at the History Of The Middle East 983 when the most deadly attack on u. S. Troops in the middle east the most deadly attack on u. S. Troops since the 2nd World War that time was conducted in beirut the us marines lost 241 lives in this attack and they blame the new reigning in proxy organization
for this so i think the americans are having such a scenario in mind however i think the most dangerous situation is that anyone could conduct such an attack for example the Islamic State that would benefit from a from an escalation of the conflict between iran and the United States so many stakeholders so there and i think that makes the situation very very dangerous at the moment so youre saying this is not purely political pressure theyre actually acting from a position of of fear no i think i think they want to demonstrate strength and trump security advisor john bolton has. I made this clear multiple occasions that he wants Regime Change in iran he says we dont want war and trump says he doesnt want war but thats not the point if you corner the iranians to that extent you have to bear in mind that the Iranian Security establishment including the sitting president sitting president rouhani they are used to conflict they have been war for 10 years during the Iran Iraq War where they were actually in charge
so they used to pressure and they used to this situation however the iranian population is suffering here the currency is vomiting from the Economic Warfare that is being conducted on iran and the point is nobody in iran really knows what do the us want us to do it is quite clear that iran is not going to take down the flags and say we surrender so what exactly does the u. S. Want to do trump dropped his number so to say to the. Consul who is representing the american interests in iran and he said i want the iranians to call me Saudi Arabian social media are quite so casting about it they make lots of jokes they say yeah drop his number like like a boy in a in a in a club was dropping a number to a girl however like you know theres a lot of cynical optimism also involved that this is just a bluff but i wouldnt be so sure that this situation i think the situation could as could escalate rather quickly even if nobody wants or i was middle east Analyst Daniel carola whom i spoke to just
a short while ago to the wonderfully again now where the title race will go down to the very last day of the season after byron munich failed to be the r. B. A. Leipsic the variance thought theyd score the winning goal just after half time with the anger at those goal was ruled out for offside a match ended that gave dortmund a chance to remain in the title race and they took full advantage with the nervy 32. 00 victory over disco door one game remains in the bundesliga with biron only requiring one more point to seal the championship. I think a quick look at all of the other results so far on the penultimate weekend of the season braman a one away to hoffenheim stuck out take the relegation play off place after beating involves book without nuremberg or relegated after their 4 no loss to mention laver cozen and shaukat your 11 hand over also relegated to by their win over 5 work and berlin beat out booked for a 3 in a thrilling game in Bavaria On Sunday Frankfurt Host local rivals mites
