welcome to the al-jazeera news for my headquarters and. the parana coming up in the next sixty minutes. to open in a few. contentious election the president wants to take part but the opposition is calling for a boycott. saying goodbye to a. five day funeral. brazil's opposition fails to get the majority needed in congress to put the president on trial on corruption charges and classified documents into the assassination of john f. kennedy a set to be released. after his killing. presidential election well take place on thursday
5:02 am
a last ditch attempt to delay it was unsuccessful when five judges failed to turn up at the supreme court to hear a petition kenya's authorization leader. urging people to boycott the vote while president hu kenyatta says it must go ahead peacefully mahama the bill begins our coverage from nairobi. they gathered here on four hours waited for them and they want us president and the big announcement he promised to make opposition leader i loading guys boycotting that iran presidential poll he says nothing has changed you know. you. already here is what you. used to visit. or dingoes national supply lines coalition also will now be transformed into what he called a resistance movement he supporters say that will heed his call we want to stand.
5:03 am
being around you has been fried to what i saw you can not any chance. i passed this time you have to sacrifice whatever it is our life yes actually five maybe not. chief justice david but i got announced earlier that the petition to delay the vote could not be hot because of lack of judges only two of the cult seven judges had showed up in the supreme court on mild the original election held on august eighth saying they had been must have had a glad it is president a who took in yet always seeking a second tom has said that i'm bottle must go ahead tomorrow we have yet. another but unity. to show the world that we. are all free. what you state. with just. the country.
5:04 am
to go back on. the independent election commission says it's ready to hold elections. some of the material have been delivered to polling stations across the country but the chairman of the commission is complaining of threats to. security while out to walk with me the decision. in the hollow it was supposed. to democracy becomes. for the last two months. post-election protests. and legal but it's unlikely. that mohamed atta. will become.
5:05 am
so how did we get here on the eleventh of august kenyatta was declared the winner of the initial presidential election held three days earlier but his rival. quick to cry foul saying the result was hacked and manipulated he took things forward allegations to the supreme court and on the first of september the judges declared the elections and valid and ordered a rerun within sixty days more than a month later. with drew his candidacy from the very wrong saying he still didn't believe the election commission could ensure a fair race when joshua ramish is associate professor of international development and global studies at the university of ottawa and he says it is unlikely that the vote on thursday will be free and fair. we're going to see a spectacle i think tomorrow. more of the surreal election i think is going through the motions of democracy the certainly in the government the jubilee stronghold
5:06 am
area. there will be a lot of emphasis on trying to get it will turn out a lot of them very dissatisfied with the supreme court ruling have been even paying or subsidizing sending buses to ferry people to their constituencies people have to vote in their home ok how. those you'll see long lines of people showing up to vote and absolutely and the polling stations elsewhere. i don't expect to see violence and i don't expect to see any sort of incidents at the time that would sort of the tomorrow of an election but i think it's going to be very questionable whether that's actually going to. let's move on to other news now the cremation ceremony of the night time on a day to day as the gum the commission is the main part of the five day funeral service that's led by the night confound ramattan the much loved talking died just
5:07 am
after reigning for seven decades well let's get more on this now about cost fondant wayne hay he's joining us live from the thai capital what are we expecting to see today wayne. yes elizabeth as you mentioned this funeral ceremony will go for five days it actually began on wednesday but again thursday today is the main day the day that the late king jr day will be cremated that official cremation zero money not happening for another ten hours or so it is a very long day today a hot day for people waiting in the sun to say a final farewell to a man who became known as the father of the nation but that long wait hasn't it to thousands of people from coming out onto the streets to say that final farewell so what we're seeing at the moment is a long removing the royal urn from the grand palace in bangkok where the king has been lying for the past year they will take the royal containing the late king's
5:08 am
body from the grand palace to the funeral site which is just outside the gates of the grand palace but as i say it will be a very long slow procession the journey around that funeral side is around two kilometers but the whole procession will take three hours so as you can imagine it's full of tradition full of buddhist ceremony and again thousands of people coming out saying final farewell and on procession waiting for the man i think was the longest serving in the world on what is the main theme as people look back at the life of the king. well it's certainly the end of an era. there is no doubt about that and thais have been grieving for the past year because you have to remember that because he reigned for seventy years and he came to the throne at the age of just eighteen in one thousand nine hundred sixty is really the only king that most thais have ever known so that brings with
5:09 am
it a lot of uncertainty to the feeling of uncertainty for people who are saying goodbye to the king today but i think the thing that most people will be remembering today was that he was a very visible king he was very present he didn't spend a lot of time travelling overseas he spent most of his time in thailand traveling around the country going to the various provinces going to remote parts of the country talking to villages talking about their problems and those images were constantly played on television they were constantly in the media so he was very present and very visible and yet also remember that when he ascended the throne the monarchy in thailand was in decline and there's been a very deliberate move over the decades by him by the palace by the elites in the military around the palace to build the monarchy back up to what it is that we see today but we have to also point out that there are very strict rules in thailand surrounding what you can and cannot say about the monarchy that can result in jail
5:10 am
terms for up to fifteen years on each count if you are found guilty of defaming or criticizing the monarchy so in that regard there is no room for an alternative view if you like on the royal family we're certainly seeing some of those sentiments coming out in the weeks leading up to this funeral from some people in the media but there's no doubt that most thais in this country feeling a great sense of sadness today wayne thank you very much for that and now that's my hand joining us live from bangkok. brazil's lower house of congress has voted to reject corruption charges against president michelle tanner the seventy seven year old has been released meanwhile from hospital after being treated for a year in area struction he's accused of taking bribes which he denies the lower house have voted in his favor and decided he will not face trial in the supreme court on charges of criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice daniel has more from when a site is president michelle turner has done it again he survived
5:11 am
a vote in the lower house of congress which wanted to suspend them for up to one hundred eighty days so the supremes court could try him on corruption charges he did the same back in august by a similar vote although he's one of the most unpopular presidents that brazil has ever seen with population and with popularity ratings of around four percent he one managed to win enough support in that congress so that the opposition could not get the two thirds two thirds of votes necessary one congressperson at a time came to the microphone they were given fifteen seconds to speak before the microphone was cut off to say yes or no vote as to whether they supported it michele tomorrow or not he is accused of taking bribes by j.b.s. a massive meat packing for some of that conversation was recorded he all along has denied the charges he is part of a much larger criminal investigation known as lover's yard or the car was
5:12 am
a scandal which is implicated hundreds of politicians and business people across brazil some of them serving time in prison some of them waiting to be tried some of them plea bargaining saying they're going to name names but michelle turner has a skate he will serve out the last fourteen months of his time in office he says to push through vital measures to boost brazil's ailing economy to get it back on track but he has survived but he is a much that we can the president. but let's get more on this now with alina prevent journalist and researcher focusing on brazil she is joining of via skype from washington d.c. very good to have you with us on al-jazeera i want to get to the matter of the economy which has been improving and how much that may or may not have helped mr tema but before we get to that point just given that how serious the charges against president obama are and the mountain of evidence that prosecutors say they have against him how did he survive this what do you think thanks for having me
5:13 am
so yes today is another sad day for brazilian democracy what we're seeing is yet again. that has. even over a treaty percentage of approval rate being examined at in the lower house of the country that it was supposed to be. how do you account of all for it is a lot of those that has that he has not only brian but people and congressmen and. think out of power. the only elected president of brazil do you remember sir but is also right now i mean money for congressman just kill him in power so it's today versus a lower house just took another stab. into completely
5:14 am
break the rule of law in the country and why have they taken the step as you mentioned dismally low approval ratings joe moore who says ratings also dropped she was a page for much less severe allegations last year yet he survives. exactly that is what holds those i think most of those not only brazilians but everyone who has been following brazilian politics and i would guess. is that he has actually implemented economic agenda that is what brazilians alit and the international elite more exacting of it of him so we have now a government that is so willing to bring back for example slavery in the street
5:15 am
just to preserve our interests as the average business he's not all. natural resources for international capital so it is even legitimate government that is so we'd like to just if our interests is the country and she will and are to give this up in power and what are the very interesting fact as well that fifty nine percent of lawmakers who sided with the to the vote in august that on whether he should face trial are themselves actually on the investigation. exactly so as often val we know that at least at least a tartar was over hartley being paralyzed the brazilian currency has been put in place to hate those the same congress men that are now facing
5:16 am
charges to keep him are in power one of the things that came out of the out of the leaks during. that in her ph month was sat should be just just saying just to keep the investigations of corruption charges against the same congress most part or not go in order then they read deep very thorough. very interesting. i'm afraid that is all the time we have today but we thank you very much for your time and your analysis on this joining us live from washington d.c. thank you very much. there are plenty more ahead on the news hour including the u.n. chief visits one of the regions worst affected by violence in the public and the. genocide looking for a solution and yemen why it's being called

5:18 am
the time for action is now we're not waiting anymore we need to see a change and we need to see it right away and there is nothing that they can say at this point we have lost trust in the government and we now need to regain that trust and the only way to regain that trust is through the actions of taking care of all of the people present here is the president everyone not just one tribe not just one group fighting broke out in south sudan in twenty thirteen when president kiir accused his former vice president riek machar of a coup a peace agreement supported by the us was signed in twenty fifteen but there was more violence less than a year later forcing much hard to flee the country in september of this year the u.s. sanction to government officials and the former military chief of staff put the reeling the peace process but south sudan's government now says it's ready to work for a deal. the president also assured her any and how aid workers are protected
5:19 am
eighty two have been killed in the conflict so far. a quarter of the twelve million population has been displaced there have been reports of atrocities committed by all worrying parties from sexual abuses to killings based on ethnicities many children have no access to proper education analysts say those committed to peace must work harder parties to the peace agreement who are strongly convinced that a peace agreement exists need. to ensure that. these. restore some trust in their state and that people don't have to flee across the borders a few hours in south sudan may not solve the country's problems. end the war but u.n. ambassador healy hopes it's at least the start people morgan al-jazeera. the un secretary general has visited dangerous places and central african republic almost two thousand people are currently sheltering in a refugee camp in the town of. a dramatic rise in conflict between and recent
5:20 am
months level of reports from. alive but the fear remains for tim ahmed and her two children were among hundreds of muslims praying in a mosque when a christian vigilante started shooting at them. scores were killed were all peacekeepers eventually came to the rescue bringing them to this church for protection. since then every night and identified gunmen come back and shoot towards the church. they want to kill us and all we want is for this violence to stop. but guess who is regarded as one of the most dangerous places to be in central african republic christian militias control this town under un escort to our minders told us it is too dangerous for us to venture out alone or christian vigilantes are accused of killing muslims animosity is said to be fanned
5:21 am
by politicians and local leaders on the other side of this conflict for the selected muslim fighters located just outside of town they're accused of targeting christians both groups are said to be responsible for attacks on u.n. forces and aid agencies the violence in the region is said to have displaced an estimated two million people mostly muslims. the safety and security of these people depends on the presence of u.n. peacekeepers in the eyes of some they are the only force capable of bringing stability back to the country but human rights groups accuse some of them of sexually abusing those they're made to protect the u.n. secretary general says he has zero tolerance for this about the sexual abuses allegation against un peacekeepers what is being done to address this why there are cases coming up again and again we have national. international
5:22 am
victims' rights advocate i have appointed we have now signed an eighty countries a compact. to guarantee that there will be no impunity because peacekeepers come from countries and they are subject to the legislation of those countries we are taking a number of other measures to put the victims in the center and visiting victims. and we are creating a number of conditions. that we have to be fully implement the challenges for those who have fled never seem to end aid agencies are cutting food rations because of lack of funds from international donors as a result children are not just going hungry in some places they're dying of malnutrition. the secretary general says what's happening here cannot be ignored. that her world is marked by the walls of a church but at least for this time being she and her children are safe nicholas

5:24 am
parts of yemen to try to restore the internationally recognized government ousted by heathy rebels human rights groups accuse both sides of committing atrocities millions are on the brink of famine and the economy has collapsed. people are struggling not only because of the siege and on paid salaries but because prices have increased in an insane way it's causing a terrible amount of suffering. analysts say the depreciation of the yemeni reale means basic goods are out of reach for many yemenis. the. war has caused yemen's currency reserves to decrease and as halted oil and gas exports as well as donor support dollars in the market have dried up amid an increase in foreign currency demand yemen imports all of its goods this is led to a price increase. to add to the crisis the color outbreak has killed more than two

thousand people and infected more than a million the u.n. is aging also. i'd still go to political do to bring the fighting to an end victory gates and be. now in a joint move with the us couple has imposed sanctions targeting alleged leaders finances and facilitators of iceland in iraq syria and yemen and of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula eleven yemeni nationals a charitable organization and a supermarket make up the list of thirteen the sanctions against them include asset freezes and travel bans the two countries say the move strengthens their joint commitment to combat terrorism and terra financing rosalyn jordan has more from washington d.c. . a number of yemeni citizens into yemeni organizations are now in the sights of the us government and of several governments in the gulf that's because they've been accused of providing financial support to al qaeda in the arabian peninsula based inside yemen as well as two eisel in yemen these two groups have been accused
5:26 am
of carrying out deadly attacks on yemeni citizens and institutions for several years now and as the u.s. treasury secretary steven the newton said on wednesday these two groups pose a national security threat to the united states and to its allies what is significant about this new round of sanctions it's that it's being done through something called the terrorist financing targeting center this is an organization that was set up by the u.s. and by the gulf countries back in late may of course it goes without saying that just a couple of weeks after this organization was set up the blockade against the government of qatar was launched into question whether that country itself was doing enough to fight terrorist financing even though the government in doha has argued strenuously that it is doing its part and even signed a new member random of understanding with washington to prove its commitment there
5:27 am
are still been questions from other gulf countries namely saudi arabia about whether doha is doing enough to crack down on terrorist groups now with the joint announcement coming from washington doha riyadh and other regional capitals there might be no question that this work is actually taking effect the real question is whether the people listed on this new list of sanctions on wednesday will actually see their assets being frozen and find it impossible to travel anywhere around the world as the u.s. and other governments as found in other sanctions regimes the way that these will be successful will be if in fact money is cut off not just tough. the people accused of doing this. but of course whether al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and in yemen actually are star belt and their capability of launching new and deadly attacks is the enforcement not just the one that matters in these situations cover

5:33 am
but thailand itself and its place in the region. today. taking a pause to bid farewell final goodbye to their late king king one you have to understand this i mean in two thousand and seventeen the most difficulty we have today to understand thailand is that he was around for a long time i mean two thousand seven. hundred forty six we didn't have mobile phones free internet you know back then thailand was still an undeveloped country in a very tough neighborhood communist expansionism china north vietnam south vietnam laos cambodia. looking the rest of the region was undeveloped a lot of problems in the region and so this was a time in the one nine hundred fifty sixty seventy s eighty's ninety's that the king helped mentally. in the region so he shared and formed the
5:34 am
country in this way look two things i think two major candidates fundamentally he helped. the expansion of communism in the region and away from communism second during that time of political stability in a very rough neighborhood thailand was able to do some economic development so no communism economic development that's why we have the country that we have today in addition personally the king also expended enormous efforts when he didn't have to that's why people are very grateful today and as well as the turbulence in the region that you've talked about there's also. much turbulence in thailand itself during his reign you know. nineteen constitutions even more prime ministers just how much of a symbol of stability during times. we have to understand the circumstances the conditions it was extraordinary
5:35 am
circumstances and he was an exceptional individuals who was uniquely suited to meet the challenges at the. there were some flaws in some call and certainly we had a number of military coups in thailand but at the same time the expanding and to what it has today traditional political order from the cold war we have to understand from the fifty's to the nine hundred eighty s. revolved around the military the monarchy and bureaucracy now that order now it's facing some challenges in the twenty first century so in some ways you know the glorious but it also has bred some of its own challenges. to arrive in the twenty first century with some kind of new recalibration of the role of the monarchy and the role of the democratic process in the type of system and no doubt one of the biggest and i guess next challenges for the countries they will be elections the military has announced next year looking ahead mr. we expect from the
5:36 am
new king's reign do you think. we don't know if people are watching to see how the new king. intends to arrange certainly his father left a profound legacy a lot of moral authority. so he has a lot to work with the new king at the same time i think people. looking for a new balance a new balance between traditional institutions and modern democratic institutions and to find that balance is really finding thailand's way forward so the role of the new king will be instrumental in this balance to rein in the military a bit i think the military has excessive power but also to promote the strengthening of democrat things that so that we can some kind of recalibration some accommodation some camp compromise so that thailand can regain its footing and move forward again. it is great to get your insights into this. joining us live
