there are also hundreds of thousands of arabs that have arrived here in recent years fleeing i saw they feel very let down by the baghdad government. what are you seeing like how a minute a suspected terrorist people of all faiths fell victim to a suicide bomber in manchester but if the bomb was indiscriminate was the placing of blame this is nothing to do with us this is about an individual who's psycho you know that nobody could do this unless they were completely unhinged how much just as muslims responded to challenging questions in the aftermath of the deadly attack people in power manchester united at this time on a. hello

everyone i'm. live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes protests break out in kenya after its parliament passes a controversial election for. the spanish prime minister gives castle five days to clarify his position on independence. united nations accusing security forces of a campaign of systematic torture rape and killings in rakhine state. and cites and guessing fuss a new report paints a grim picture of the health of children and adolescents worldwide. including the united states missing out on the twenty eighteen world cup in russia .

we begin this news in kenya where police have fired tear gas the protesters unhappy about a new election law supporters of. fear it could lead to a victory for the current president kenyatta in the rerun of the elections for just over two weeks time mass protests began just twenty four hours after the opposition leader pulled out of that election i made a miller has the latest from the capital nairobi. raila odinga supporters bailey needed any prompting to return to the streets. they're demonstrating against kenya's electoral commission which they believe won't conduct a free and fair. election. but supporters. added on him dropping out of the race. which he lost was great the supreme court laid to rule they'd been irregularities in how the vote was counted and incumbent and

should stand in new elections you cannot go to an election has credibility. so i think of what i like the i think that is the best option but we are not but. because of the pressure so you're out there most that you're not happy to. see i guess protesters and. nairobi was large they. had them and they said any reforms to. election. kenya's constitution is not clear on what happens once a candidate with flows from everyone but parliament has now passed amendments to electoral laws that could allow can yatta to be named the winner. twenty six and the president has about spades and mr space then it's very easy to say that we'll

have a president removed command of the legitimacy and respect from all corners the electoral commission will decide what happens next but if any of its decisions can be contested in court kenya faces one of many possibilities including declaring incumbent president a hurricane as the only remaining candidates the winner of the rerun all holding elections and then declaring kenyatta the winner oh holding fresh elections within ninety days with new nominations for president. says he should be declared president ordering guys pushing for fresh elections in a pronouncement from b.c. will not be believable and the conduct of. both the conduct of the commission as its official has not been inspired or not lol. maybe it's a faltering economy or an ongoing political feud all kenyans are guaranteed at this point is uncertainty the media miller al-jazeera nairobi. ok with me now the studio

is agnes just how a director at the consultancy firm g.b.'s east africa which advises governments and businesses in that region thanks for coming into the studio q how surprising was it that the opposition leader raul odinga decided to pull out and what is supporters making of this was quite surprising there were rumors in the beginning of the week that it was going to pull out but the actual withdrawal of danger from this this election has drawn everybody into i mean and it's chaos. too for lack of a better word and his supporters i guess they are feeling some of them are happy they think he is legitimate to do what he did because they think that he has every reason because all the stuff he had asked for has not been met so they feel he's doing the right thing but other people are disappointed it is very confusing about so the to ing and fro ing of changing particular laws what applies when and where

the kenyan election will the latest we're hearing has said that all eight presidential candidates were on the who took part in the in the previous election can now go on the ballot for this election is that likely to happen do you think do you think that's what's going to happen we're going to go ahead but without a danger but with these other sort of lesser known people being the opposition for united at the moment we don't know what's going to happen but within two weeks how will the other candidates prepare to run for president elect and then so this is not really a fair raise serious eight six other candidates who have not been in the past preparing well they're the kind of i've been on the campaign trail you know to be clearly organise the country is in a quagmire and this is due to political greed by politicians and it's important that political aspirations should not be put before kenya's. i think we need to sit down and have a dialogue because this the situation we're at right now knowing nobody knows what's going to happen is it going to be an election on the twenty sixth to be

honest i don't know and the real fear of course is of more violence we all saw what happened in the previous election when so many people died in post-election violence in the run up to the election in august actually there was almost a sense of relief that the violence that we saw previously hadn't reoccurred this time i guess this uncertainty at least the possibility that violence and more protests could break out later years that they because of protests really one cannot cannot ignore that this is what happened back in two thousand and seven you know rylan no election no violence or peace these are the city rhetorical we had back in two thousand and seven and it's something that kenyans wish to forget you know so there is certainly that uncertainty and i think and it's my continued message is can we hold these we've already shown the world that kenya is coming of age as a mature democracy are we able to hold a housing order and run an election and have a government that pushes to the next to the next say five or ten years and it is

important isn't it what the international community makes of what's happening in kenya these national community is always needed isn't it to sort of say this is this is free and fair we're happy with this election and we're happy to continue you know trading and investing in kenya because it's important for the kenyan economy absolutely others said earlier they can only have struggled you know due to drought and also this political uncertainty and it's also very important that international community is reassured and i know there's been movement from government officials in their prime from the prime minister will be in london this week there's been movement just politician calling reassuring or trying by the scenes or seeing on the ground for this city really do not come close to giving anybody reassurance us stock market has turned currency is struggling so they certainly needs to be some reassurance and i'm not sure whether it will come from the political class city it certainly is a country of instability and uncertainty at the moment so i can get our pre-show

your time and your analysis thank you for coming in thank you. spain's prime minister has asked catalan leaders to say whether they have declared independence giving them five days to reply or to say the catalan president asked parliament to suspend the declaration of independence to allow for talks catalonia does press on with secession the spanish government says it will take away the region's political autonomy or insley has more now from madrid madrid does not like being told what to do by the council lands for once parliament was united as the journalist speculated the cabinets agreed the spanish lion bit back against the catalan demand that their independence will happen the prime minister said you say it out loud and we will take back your powers no dice no deal and you have until monday. you've held a cabinet meeting and we've decided the catalan government must confirm whether or

not they have declared independence regardless of whether it's going to take effect or not this is a requirement necessary before any other measures can be taken by the government including invoking article one fifty five. so back it goes to barcelona madrid no society there is split some separatist wants a session now others are nervous half the population hates the whole idea how long should they wait. we know there are very important governments and people around the world who are ready to assist in mediation we've got the group of the elders with coffee and with a bang ki-moon with desmond tutu who are ready to exercise their mediation the only small detail which we are missing is that we have nobody on the other side of the table because marianne or just said he was not accepting mediation. all the while europe looks on surely not another country fracturing itself there is no support at

all in brussels for the catalan independence movements madrid knows that it is the side with the powerful friends. many people in madrid regard roy's statements his demand that catalonia clarify its position on independence as a shrewd one by putting the ball straight back in catalonia courts it potentially exposes divisions inside the independence movements that might buy madrid some time take the pressure out of the immediate situation but also leave the crisis open ended. where the protesters in barcelona go from here is a good question madrid would like nothing more than for them to turn on each other destroy their own movements that would rule out the need for mediation which madrid insists there is no place for asli al-jazeera which it. is there any sign of what the catholic government governments the answer to that question of independence or not independence is likely today. but we know

that the declaration they made on tuesday night was it was considered a symbolic declaration of how it was described they could easily say if they want to that no this was not official we don't know what they're going to say from the general atop the building behind me where the government sits where mr office is the pressure is clearly on him though he's got until monday to answer that challenge for mr rajoy whether he stands by the declaration or not and if he does he's got then until thursday to basically revoke his decision or face section one five five of the revoking of catalonia autonomy that is the constitutional sequence of events that must be followed all we know for sure now at this point is that the government's position in an interview given to us by one of its senior members is that they're offering dialogue with no preconditions they've come up with a kind of formula for mediation that doesn't look like it's going to fly madrid has consistently refused any form of mediation mr rajoy said as much again in

parliament there is though another little avenue which may have opened up and that is the idea of a cross party committee in madrid. we'll look at possible constitutional reforms in the way the regions are governed in other words the possibility of giving the regions including catalonia more autonomy that looks like a sort of enticement to catalonia walk away from independence and we can go down a constitutional avenue towards greater autonomy but that may well be a price too high for mr pooja amount to pay on his claim is to push that does seem to be in a rather difficult position right now he's damned if he does declare independence down if it doesn't. i think he's in a deeply an enviable position probably very deliberately placed there by madrid if he were to stand up and say no look it was all symbolic nothing serious in it well then he risks alienating the hardened secessionists here who he relies on the left wing parties relies on to give him his majority in parliament they've been tweeting

furiously of what a big mistake it was and tuesday night if he were to stand up though and say yes it was our intent to declare independence and we stand by it well then of course he risks section one five five and all the consequences that come with that he may well try to come up with another fudge in the days ahead there may well be mediation efforts going on we don't know all the while though these cracks of appeared and they will deepen in the pro independence coalition and madrid will be hoping that the more pressure they apply the more chance of the entire thing simply falling apart in china in barcelona thank you. still ahead on this news hour a long history of helping victims of war but the red cross says it will now reduce its presence in some parts of afghanistan. and an easy peace fifteen years after the conflict ended in liberia victims of violence say divisions remain. and is for roger federer of returns to action at the shanghai masters tennis

obesity forum here in the u.k. could have you with us in the studio at some of the figures is in this report all staggering especially the increases that we're seeing in places like asia and the south pacific those developing countries why the developing areas now struggling with obesity basically because a lot of people look at the west and they say that's what the west do we want we'd like the west and they they do not realize that in fact the western food is less than healthy result is they get fat and of course if they're not exercising and they're not burning off the calories that's a sort of double minus if you will so it's really the food that the west has been consuming what over the last forty years so i guess you're talking about the fatty foods. the red meats things like that are now being a now becoming more available to those in the developing countries it's more processed made sure and the good thing about processed meat is that you can mass produce you go from the world with it and this is why some of the big corporations

are hugely rich as a result of just pummeling in all the healthy food to areas of the very cheap price and therefore if you will it's extremely interesting for the families to buy it the second problem is that it's laced with sugar and fat and sugar and fat excite the appetite and so you got a couple of real minuses to combat and you talk about exercise i mean the more technology children seem to have access to the less likely they are to exercise again i guess it means that if new technology is now available in some of those developing areas that children who used that were forced to play outside now have the access to be able to play inside and not actually move salute i mean i travel quite a lot and i remember. about ten years ago being in kazakstan. kazakstan is not the richest country in the world and even in the poorest there. areas there were boys playing with their game boys and everything and it's just amazing the way which

technology has taken over and of course it's tremendously exciting and children excited by exciting things and they feel that the technology was boring and flattened and everything they wouldn't touch it but it's the it's the imagination of the characters and animations which really grab them and that's there ready for them i mean what can be done in the west as you know we've been sort of battling this and talking about it for the last twenty or thirty years there is always this argument whether or not the government should be interfering should it be taxes all sugary drinks and food some people say that's it you know against people's freedom other people say well if the government has a right to do that because their health service is having to pay for the effects of obesity what do you think well when you look at the cost of obesity and all the co-morbidities which go with it which in this report as far as the united kingdom is concerned is thirty one billion pounds every year then in my view the government

really is about to take a grip because that's a loss to the exchequer which is unbearable. i think that the government really has to now start to get tough with the food industry the food industry has had its own way year after year after year and unfortunately governments have sometimes bowed in front of the food industry because it's a huge employment industry and they have said ok fine we will do what we can but that been transcended particularly i think in terms of the moment where george osborne and the united kingdom parliament said totally unexpectedly we are now going to impose a levy on industry and for the first time industry really sat up and take notice because he was absolutely firm about it what it is to tell industry actually you can make a. army by producing better and less harmful food and

a lot of big firms are saying fine we'll cut the sugar out and we'll still maintain a good income flow to riffing because that means the consumption of sugar is going right down the other thing is that we are now looking at a twenty percent reduction in food stuffs by twenty twenty ten years ago that would have been an impossibility now industries starting to say yeah i think we can manage that they won't achieve the whole thing by twenty twenty but they wouldn't be it'll be in the right direction tom really good to have you with us thank you so much for coming in thank you for your work south sudan is hosting its first ever international oil conference but its president has been in a show salva kiir was expected to address the gathering which has failed to attract investors from large global energy firms the country is going through a fuel crisis despite having billions of all barrels in reserves but with no functioning power great petrol is being sold on the black markets at

a cost not all can afford it morgan reports from the capital juba. this may not seem the best way to prepare for exams but now i think peter says it's the only way her brothers them study she says fuel is too expensive for her family. because there's no power in the house so we use candles we can't pay for the fuel that is used to run the generator in our neighborhood fuel is expensive and comes from the black market it's cheaper to get candles spears but for day south sudan has the largest oil reserve in africa according to experts but it has no means of processing its own oil instead it relies on its neighbor sudan to do so but two years of war and low oil prices last here has damaged the economy this has resulted in hard currency crisis making it hard for traders to bring in fuel most suppliers now prefer just of private sectors leaving many stations in the country empty despite the shortage of few electrical stations you can find info on the sea from recycled water bottles but at a price eight dollars

a gallon about forty third that's nearly ten times more than the official price of seventeen cents at petco face. there are government subsidies on imported fuel but because the black market is more profitable subsidies along with other issues are contributing to the country shortage few shortages it's because. we're subsidizing his expression you know the fuel is being subsidize. that is one issue that we are facing. every three months i give them said to me. smuggling fuel part of the country and there are people who are actually taking the fuel to the black market so that they make more money and this is the work of the police and the national security to address it so that they stopped not it's those who are actually doing illegal activities like trading with fewer lawmakers have recently proposed lifting the fuel subsidies but some analysts say if the government does
