9:07 pm
elections and we expect many people to hear both calls and everything will get down to numbers two hundred on mind to constituents are supposed to vote for the president according to the constitution world the president and his running mate be able to get votes in every of those two hundred ninety close to doing this already they have taken so many police officers and members of the security forces to some of these opposition areas and the polling will take place under tight security however whoever wins this election would have his legitimacy very much question all right. there from my right as we look ahead to thursday's rerun election thanks mike. so he has more now on those protests from an opposition stronghold in western kenya. yes protesters have been out on the streets. blocked road using stones and gold as been lighting bonfire those well they say they're
9:08 pm
very angry and particularly after the supreme court this is the frustration that tomorrow they're not going to go to vote they will not remember. when they will not even remember here. they said they also angry with the police. brutality. during protests thousands of people. have been killed including children. saying that police have killed more. people people saying that. even to see how things like polling material will get. to the people who want to hold. and a lot of tension. now in a joint move with the u.s.
9:09 pm
castro has imposed sanctions targeting alleged leaders finances on facilitators of i saw in iraq syria and yemen and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula eleven yemeni nationals a charitable organization and a supermarket make up the list of saying well sanctions include asset freezes on travel bans the two countries say the move strengthens their joint commitments to combat terrorism and terrorism financing. jordan joins us live now from washington d.c. and ross tell us more about how this announcement was made. well the announcement was first made in excuse me in riyadh by the u.s. treasury secretary steven minutiae and who was there to what talk about this new center called the terrorist financing targeting center this organization was stood up by the u.s. and gulf countries back in mid may it's not coincidental that this happened during
9:10 pm
the visit of the u.s. president donald trump to saudi arabia and then a few weeks later there was the of course the start of the embargo by some members of the g.c.c. against qatar now this organization is a group effort a multinational effort to basically identify those persons and organizations that are providing support for those carrying out terrorist attacks and so with the people who have been cited wednesday's sanctions list as well as the two organizations cited again on these sanctions list the hope is that the number of attacks particularly inside yemen and across the region will start to dissipate very quickly because without money the people carrying out these attacks can't get the equipment or pay for the training in order to carry out these attacks certainly this is something that the u.s. is very much a supportive of because it says that both and iceland yemen our national security
9:11 pm
threats to u.s. interests are both in washington d.c. thank you. i mean estadio is out there a senior analyst mall in bashar amman explain to us how does this all fits in with that memorandum of understanding that cost that the u.s. have already signed recently look it's all part of the efforts of the trump administration to focus its effort not only on the war on terror in terms of military means in terms of intelligence in terms of homeland security but also in terms of finance because there's a theory has been growing over the last decade in the united states that if you dry the sources of terrorism the finance you can take it on much more importantly if you will than just through military means or intelligence so in a sense the bilateral deal or memorandum with qatar that took place in july as well as the counter finance terror center that was created in may.
9:12 pm
but also between the united states and the gulf countries both basically you know aim at the same objective which is how to make sure that within the global gulf region there are not individuals and no entities that would be financing or abetting terrorism so in a sense they're complimentary in terms of the gulf crisis that we've seen emerge over the last several months of course qatar is making sure it underlines every time it had gets the opportunity that it is at the forefront of combating terror i never thought of all when why damn and why focusing in on yemen because when we talk about the war going on in yemen we don't really speak a great deal about i saw. the writing and it's. actually what's also sad. is that yemen is suffering from so many other issues especially the war. the minute rishon diseases you know children dying go refugees internally displaced death torture spreading of prisons
9:13 pm
and so on so forth are very. divided impoverished nation falling apart and yet of course the focus is on combating and financing terror and that's why the for the united states the main objective is not so much that yemen gets back on its feet it's that there are eleven yemenis that we need to focus on because they support eisel because for the united states the main concern is global terrorism and that no yemeni or no who were ever dies or ice or al qaida eventually carries an attack in a western city or in an american city but for the gulf for the arabs the main concern is the war in syria the war in libya the war in yemen the war in iraq they distribute it in the middle east the divisions in the middle east it's kind of fascinating that arab leaders are incapable of taking any single serious
9:14 pm
initiative that concerns their safety the safety of their citizens the will being of their countries without america an american agenda bringing them together it's a sad situation yeah very interesting as well a moment bashar appreciate it thank you. or still ahead on this al-jazeera news that israel approves plans for one hundred seventy six new jewish tribes in occupied east jerusalem. will be the vulnerable zambian community suffering at the hands of large corporations. and how a book by one of the holocaust victims is helping italian football confront anti semitism or have that story. first iraqi kurdish leaders have offered to freeze the outcome of last month's

speaking to owns his family owns this lad and says that nothing none of this can be resolved through military means. the stability of the we want happiness we want brotherhood there's been enough killing among us war solves nothing this needs to be resolved through dialogue and killings need to stop all of the killings if kurdish turkish arabs it doesn't matter everyone just needs to be happy these are challenging times for the kurds of northern iraq anyone you speak to here will tell you that it was completely unexpected what's happened over the last week or so the iraqi forces together with shia militia taking areas of territory that had previously been held by the current disputed territory of course but certainly it's just one of the challenges this region also faces huge economic issues mounting debt at the moment and i think more specifically when it comes to the international community people here will tell you whether it's civilians whether it's peshmerga whether it's politicians that they feel abandoned by the international community that they were embraced when they were fighting iceland now they feel that they've

just ignored who so i think he's very aware of that and doesn't want the political kind of attention to be sucked from him so he's given himself time he's got this. there's a standing committee which is seven people and that's announced today and then there's a full politburo of about i think twenty four and there are younger people in that so he would potentially be able to pick a success from that group in the next five years or continue i mean i guess the fact that he's not naming someone away even you know showing inclinations towards one person means that he can't then be that what we would have as a lame duck person in charge you know even as you say that they really can then sort of make moves to try and get it with themselves a little time just excessive so he he has power in this time is going to be greater anyway yeah so he has consolidated his power from this congress it's been without any kind of big sort of mistake. not five years ago with a lot of distraction and so he has really sort of drawn more tension to himself and
