:01:44. > :01:55.and injects a new element into the proceedings in Parliament
:01:56. > :01:57.against President Jacob Zuma where the ANC has always
:01:58. > :01:59.enjoyed a healthy majority. This decision is therefore
:02:00. > :02:02.in the best interest of the country. The speaker is required to guard
:02:03. > :02:05.the procedures of this house and to ensure that the outcome
:02:06. > :02:08.of this very important The secret ballot was seen
:02:09. > :02:14.as the best option for members of Parliament to vote
:02:15. > :02:17.without being intimidated. And the call for a vote
:02:18. > :02:20.of no-confidence on President Jacob Zuma was initiated by opposition

:02:50. > :02:51.will have communicated Some feel a very strong confidence
:02:52. > :02:57.in saying they want to vote We are convinced that the ANC
:02:58. > :03:01.members will do the right thing. It is now an opportunity for them
:03:02. > :03:04.to demonstrate that they too are tired of corruption
:03:05. > :03:07.which is happening in this country. Hundreds of people who marched

:03:10. > :03:15.of my fellow countrymen And that is what we are trying to
:03:16. > :03:22.say, it's not just about one person. We need to think
:03:23. > :03:26.about the greater good. What you can see today
:03:27. > :03:29.and what you are likely to see tomorrow is that people
:03:30. > :03:31.want to change. And ideally, they won't change
:03:32. > :03:40.through constitutional means, -- and, ideally, they want to change
:03:41. > :03:48.through constitutional means, through the normal process of law,
:03:49. > :03:51.not through violent response. The decision today was in line
:03:52. > :03:53.with what the expectation I'm not surprised that she decided
:03:54. > :03:57.in favour of secret ballots because that is democracy
:03:58. > :03:58.at its best. But the question, though,
:03:59. > :04:01.is will ANC MPs help President Jacob Zuma keep his job
:04:02. > :04:20.or show him the door? Jacob Zuma has survived many votes
:04:21. > :04:27.of no confidence, so why is this time? We have had a similar
:04:28. > :04:32.deliberation in the highest deliberating body of the ANC. You
:04:33. > :04:38.have never had an intraparty rebellion that you see now. So many
:04:39. > :04:44.distinguished leaders of the ANC demand that Jacob Zuma stands down.
:04:45. > :04:48.I don't think you have ever had the circumstances on a motion of
:04:49. > :04:51.no-confidence. I do think that this time around, the issue is different

:14:59. > :15:02.UK. You join us from Plymouth. I haven't heard of any of these
:15:03. > :15:09.creatures in the UK. But what are these tiny little flesh eating
:15:10. > :15:17.monsters? These are a species of crustacean, tiny, related to things
:15:18. > :15:23.like crabs, shrimp and prawns. They are an incredibly diverse group.
:15:24. > :15:28.Sometimes night -- something like 9900 species, all over the world,
:15:29. > :15:33.everywhere you go. They are tiny, but they did an awful lot of damage
:15:34. > :15:43.on that young swimmer. Why is that? Is a really unusual case, Neal will
:15:44. > :15:46.leave feed on detritus like seaweed on the shore and they may scavenge
:15:47. > :15:57.on deck finish but the go-ahead by the person is almost a freaked --
:15:58. > :16:03.freak -- they might scavenge on dead fish but to go ahead and backed a
:16:04. > :16:06.person is very unusual. The boy said he didn't notice the creatures

:16:13. > :16:15.might have had a small cut on his foot although maybe there was a
:16:16. > :16:20.piece of dead fish and he walked into the group that was already
:16:21. > :16:25.feeding. Explain how common they are? We are hearing about this one
:16:26. > :16:32.incident, where else can we expect to find these things? From the
:16:33. > :16:39.Marianas trench all the way to sea ice under the Arctic. All over the
:16:40. > :16:42.coast of the UK. They are not only in marine environments, they are in
:16:43. > :16:50.freshwater. They are really, really common. You probably would not have
:16:51. > :16:55.seen them. In that case, I am struggling to know why we are
:16:56. > :17:00.suddenly hearing about these now. It's feet are in a desperate
:17:01. > :17:05.condition. Why are we only hearing about this now? This is probably the
:17:06. > :17:10.first time it has ever happened. I have found no evidence that this has
:17:11. > :17:14.ever happened anywhere else. In terms of recovery, these bites, what
:17:15. > :17:21.can we expect and what is your to swimmers? I don't think there is
:17:22. > :17:25.anything to fear. Go about your life as normal. It will probably never
:17:26. > :17:29.happen again. The reason it happened again is that there is probably an
:17:30. > :17:34.anticoagulant which makes the bleeding carry on longer than it
:17:35. > :17:41.would. If you are worried, don't stand in the same place for long or
