back to the polls for the second time and in just over two months voting for a new president got underway earlier on thursday except for in consumer who were most polling stations are closed because of security concerns police there fired live rounds and tear gas to break up protests against the vote and at least one person has been killed twelve others injured the opposition leader raila odinga asked his supporters to boycott what he calls a sham election a claim rejected by his rival the president. but election observers are concerned some kenyans have been intended aided and may not vote out of fear president kenyatta he has appealed for calm the vote is a repeat of the first presidential poll that was an august but the supreme court they declared that invalid so shortly we'll get the latest from katherine sawyer in the opposition stronghold of kisumu first though let's go to mohammed who is in the capital nairobi this is been a really tense really dangerous situation with people being harmed in and tear gas

what's the latest there were you are mohammed and nairobi. keep being aware of the most obvious and all free loading go supporters in the cup you told me they have been trying all they come to issue of the voting takes place here. why are charred streets and fall and electricity polls just to remind us of the violent pull out took place earlier here one of the streets of the protests have moved a little. behind with about one hundred a few hundred meters away and police are still involved in clashes with protesters who have in a way succeeded in ensuring that no one vaulted out the olympic primary school one of the biggest polling stations here in kiev being the police are firing

teargas and live minissha in the air to try and this past them but every time they succeed the group of young protesters keep on coming back all right mohamed we will check back in with you in the meantime let's cross now to catherine sawyer he joins us from consumer and western kenya and catherine as we said at the top of the newscast we know at least one person has been killed in all this today what do you know about the circumstances of that. at the hospital where this young man died he is nineteen years old he was shot on the thigh he was bleeding profusely so health workers couldn't contain that now since then we have seen a stately stream of ambulances coming in and out of this hospital this hospital is

very close to some of the areas where confrontations between police and protesters are still going on so people are still brought being brought in with various injuries just before i came on air show there's a man who was brought in he had this injury right here on his head health workers still trying to contain that as an emergency several other people have been badly injured as well so there's been that going on and a lot of roads leading to some of these areas have been blocked young people saying who are mining those improvised road blocks saying that they do not want any poly materials getting to some of the polling stations and earlier we were at one polling station it was in fact very difficult to get an open polling station so we got to this one ballot materials where there had just arrived but then. the last electoral commission officials were there saying that it's very difficult for them

to dispute distribute distribute this polling materials to the various polling stations because of security reasons also because transport transporters and other people who were supposed to be taking this polling materials are just saying no we can't another problem they told us is that start of the electoral commission that clocks and people who are supposed to carry out this election have stayed away they're saying that they are fearing for their security so richelle it seems very very unlikely from our observation that there's going to be an election here today recap and so alive for us. catherine thank you. president has called off an expected announcement leaving the political situation unclear a report suggested that carlos approached the mob was going to announce plans for regional elections and december and drop a declaration of independence spain senate plans to debate the employment taishan

article one fifty five of the constitution which allow suspension of catalonia political autonomy also thousands of university students are protesting in barcelona demonstrating against spain's plans to dissolve catalonia as the government is going down to andrew symonds who is live and barcelona so andrew what what we know about when and where we may actually hear from carlos poached them on there was a sentence a patient about the statement there's an announcement he was supposed to make and that it's been suspended i believe it's a language they're using not cancel per se so what do we know about where and when we might hear from him. well that is the big question that's the question what good you would cope with the camera there right away it's a question that the students in the demonstrators all round this well what should house is the policy of general the tax that is where the government is that is

where the president should be making a statement to the world post volumes all through school where he was going to make mistakes with the whole country was awaiting its own local media was reporting that he was going to allow a snappy lecture and that the clooney goes would take the ladies out of the situation with the group that he's intending to impose direct rule in the coming hours tomorrow possibly friday all to one five five being imposed on the comfort zone look at the people some of them with the shouts and rachel in response to that because we will we will see who was. just to the president to call us who was going to actually affect to move around the whole issue of secession and just go for election. post duration with politicians ministers many people what is going to happen is where does this mean that he's going to

change his mind is it just a procedural thing is there a deal. with madrid no one knows who is to those questions not even some of the politicians that was supposed to be recession starting soon which would have involved in the fight and some decisions three options in the end we were aware of one was holding elections without any moves towards declaring secession. was just declaring secession. then going for elections on the food one was to declare us a session without any elections now the party would talk about the ruling party. has seen demonstrations. but also outside forces and there is no government the scene which is the center left party and the vice president of

the faulty head of that announced. twenty four hours ago that there could be decision out of something. secession and of course was to show a very fluid situation. will look through mariano rajoy as. some sort of when do whole piece sticking with his mind that even if they could elections they still roll forward to imposing direct rule because of the. well the referendum the closer you get that could have declared independence. quite confusing but also confusing themselves absolutely it's so fluid and thank you for keeping us up on it we will check back in with you andrew symonds live in barcelona and plenty more ahead in

the news hour including a former argentinian president as accused of trying to derail an investigation to benefit iran. congress votes to prevent a corruption trial against president michel tomorrow. and while italian footballers send a message on anti-semitism on the pitch some fans fail to receive it details coming up with cho in sport. brazil scandal hit president has survived a second parliament vote on whether he should be tried on corruption charges seventy seven year old timber was in a hospital when this vote was held in al voids trial of the supreme court on charges of obstruction of justice and leading a criminal investigation earlier in august congress voted against trying him on separate bribery charges to our has record low ratings with only three percent

rating his government positively and more has more from. president michel tema has done it again he survived 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 popular with popularity ratings of around four percent he won 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 microphones cut off to say yes or no vote as to whether they supported michelle tam or not he is accused of taking bribes by j.b.s. 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

a lover shot or the car was 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 michel tema 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 has a much that we can the president. iraqi forces have launched an assault to recapture. the towns on iraq's western border with syria or two of the armed groups last strongholds in the country stephanie decker reports some are more than iraq. ready for the final phase the iraqi prime minister has given the go ahead now the tosk of these men is to push out of the last areas of western anbar specifically

which is the border town with syria the group still holds. we have been encountering some sporadic attacks but they are weak especially since the last defeat the most holiday and. the enemy is in a desperate situation right now and hopefully will retake all the remaining areas from. iraq's army and police together with pro-government sunni tribal fighters and the hash shadley or shia militias are part of the offensive. we are now engaging in the offensive to retake. we have received full military support from the iraqi army to participate in this offensive the tribal fighters have now become a supporting force in this offensive we aim to help that and after we retake these areas we will take control of security with the help of the iraqi forces. the campaign will also be backed by coalition air support and ground advice the towns

of time of the last few territories isis still controls in iraq many here feel that it won't be a long protracted battle but ridding eisel of its territory in iraq does not mean the group's threat has been eliminated it is still capable of carrying out large scale attacks the announcement of the all comes at a time when iraqi forces together with shia militia are involved on another front sporadic fighting with the kurdish peshmerga in the aftermath of that controversial secession referendum is putting huge pressure on air beale and the leadership many kurds believe that. offensive is an attempt to divert attention from. the border with iraq and. to reassert federal control over the border crossings that the kurdistan regional government currently controls. every. iraqi prime minister says government won't accept anything but the cancellation of the kurds a session bed. for talks with iranian leaders both countries have large kurdish

populations that oppose any talk of separation iraq's kurdistan regional government had offered to freeze at secession but iraq says that does not go far enough. following developments from tehran. iran for talks with iranian leaders the main topic of the kurdish referendum. for living in the north of the country no doubt that he was feeling like he was politically supportive environment here into a very strong message for rocky's back home nothing short of a complete. referendum. freezer suspension of his iranian stronger message iran's first vice president hungary say that the vote was an act of sedition. to push a political model similar to encouraging its kurdish people to pursue rights and

representation within a national framework to keep their country whole. also reached out a hand of friendship northern iraq is still a part of iraq so two very clear signs from leaders of both iran and iraq here in iran today that they're both on the same page and that neither country will tolerate any compromise to iraq's territorial integrity. argentina's former president cristina kirchner has been ordered to testify in the investigation into the bombing of a jewish center in one thousand nine hundred four. conspiring to derail an earlier inquiry to benefit iraq government members from tehran allegedly carried out that attack that killed eighty five people traceable reports and. it was a death that shocked argentina i'll bet the only man was found with a shot in the head in january two thousand and fifteen he was a prosecutor investigating the bombing of a jewish community center in the capital when

a scientist more than eighty five people were killed he was found a day before he was scheduled to testify before congress against former president cristina fernandez and her alleged ties with iran. while the world says that this is the right time to seek justice and. the previous administration controlled the justice system and had managed to block the investigation now there is an investigation that will hopefully let us know what happened christina has already attended this courthouse several of my time is to be questioned about the accusations made by prosecutors. her administration had a secret deal with iran that guaranteed iranian officials that were allegedly involved in the attack against the jewish community center for. four years ago argentina signed a memorandum with the iranian government that would allow argentina authorities to interrogate suspects nice man said but the administration's real motive was to do

business with tehran. says that the investigation against kirschner is politically motivated. the riddle it's from interpol when they were lifted says that we wanted the iranians to walk around freely we want to the solution because you cannot be judged if you not present we want an argentine judge questioning the suspects last sunday christina kirshner was elected a senator or she has become a staunch critic of the current administration. since leaving office businessmen and politicians close to her have been detained accused of corruption on wednesday former planning minister who was detained and stripped from immunity i mean that is . the same justice used by the previous administration is being used by some sectors of this one the truth is most argentinians do not trust the justice system

because the real structural problems are never discussed. the circumstances surrounding the murder. remain a mystery in the meantime the families of the victims of the community center continue to await answers and justice. joins us live now from atlanta so. what are prosecutors saying what are they alleging is is the deal the deal that was in place with iran. well cristina kirchner has just to enter this courthouse where she supposedly going to hand them a paper which is her testimony and then she's going to be that person has already been targeting we were going to. hear in argentina for corruption and manipulating the country's currency for example but this time she's being investigated for treason and apparently it's one of the accusations against her that worried her the most prosecutors want to know whether there was

a much more in that memorandum that was signed between argentina and iran they want to know whether the government the current administration kish or administration tried to do that deal in order to get cheap oil and gas and exchange and in exchange of grain argentina would be selling grain to iran also there's lots of questioning and the judge wants to know about a meeting that happened between argentina's foreign minister at the time the madam and with iranian officials in syria we have spoken to several experts on this specific case and what they're basically telling us that initially the accusations against kirshner were very very weak that there was not enough proof however they're saying that this investigation is ongoing kirschner of course is saying that all of this is happening because there's was a change in government and she's now being politically persecuted terse is there a chance that she could actually end up being detained i understand you say she went into that building to sell. well cristina kirchner was

elected as. a sunday even though she came in twice in the province of one side is against the ruling party she still has immunity and over three million people voted for her so that means it's a very very sensitive issue in argentina however in the last two years since she left office we have seen several members of her government detained and even when state planning minister. who is a congressman was trip to from immunity and detained so of course nobody really knows what could actually happen to her but just as in argentina has been accused in the past of bending towards power so nobody here is just the possibility that she could be detained in the coming future. a lot of us are insiders prison thank you. dozens of detainees have gone on hunger strike in the human a city of aden saying they're being mistreated by united arab emirates forces here

in rights watch watch the u.a.e. and its allies in the war and yemen to take action to stop the alleged abuse militarization of many of yemen's port cities is also creating major problems for local residents some of inch of a reports. this is as close as you can get to the omaha military barracks under the control of the u.s. government the ancient port city on the red sea has been an important export route for yemeni coffee for centuries but with militarization of key locations people here are struggling to earn a living and i mean the entire seaport is a military base for the arab coalition forces all the workers at the port and fishermen are now allowed to enter the sea fishermen are allowed only to fish in the area which is far and very costly for fishermen to get to. they have removed all of the sea port facilities all the installations access is denied we are not allowed to work at the port or fish in the sea we are all left jobless that's not the only thing people complain about in port cities such as. an hour than many

places have makeshift jails and locals accuse security forces of abusing inmates now in. this witness found by the associated press news agency says he was tied up beaten humiliated and abused in a prison in iraq after that i want to doctor. lawyers and family members say there are eight hundred secret prisons being run by the u.a.e. and local forces in southern yemen and nearly two thousand men have disappeared. family members have been demonstrating for the release of their relatives for months and now human rights watch says dozens of prisoners have begun the hunger strike in our then jail conditions have never been great but activists say mistreatment has verse and they say detainees shouldn't have to refuse food to be treated humanely and to be free from abuse the u.a.e. denies the allegations its forces are part of the saudi led us back coalition fighting who the rebels who have taken control of northern and central yemen including the capital sanaa. thousands of people have been killed in the last two

years and yemen faces some of the world's worst humanitarian crises with the abuse of hundreds of detainees in addition to all of their problems and rights campaigners wanted to stop some of the job when i was there. the british defense secretary appealed to politicians in the u.k. to stop criticizing saudi arabia as it effects arms sales to the country michael fallon angered rights groups by saying a fighter jet deal with saudi arabia was being compromised and a british politicians have openly criticized saudi arabia over its intensive bombing campaign of yemen the u.n. says the war there is kill more than ten thousand people and injured more than forty thousand. and unfortunately we had a technical issue there but we kind of summarized what it is michael fallon said so now let's go to develop thankee who's the deputy director of a prevent horgan ization the defense human rights and she joins us from london on

skype hello thank you very much what do you find. what do you find the most troubling about what mr fallon said when his comments yesterday was incredibly revealing i think the most finally so that we've been very concerned for a long time to even my government does not. even write she's an engagement with the kingdom of saudi arabia and i think what we saw yesterday was. missing that for this government that well many piracy is on sale and actually i think he may want to send something to mind that's. clearly something that the government is not intent on doing so do you feel that he basically was just saying what people say behind closed doors that he simply said out in the front for everybody to hear. yes i think the math released yesterday but what was

he shameful about his comments was the way in which he can be speaking to shut down his fellow m.p.'s from raising these incredibly important concerns about the arabia's execution of juveniles the execution of peaceful protesters and its use of force confessions and torture. in the trial so bella there are a lot of countries that deal with saudi arabian there are a lot of countries that buy and sell weapons do you see that is it mutually exclusive can you do that and then also still speak out against human rights as it is possible in your view to do both it's not only possible for the u.k. government to speak out much more about human rights we actually saw with the previous government under david cameron that he was prepared to publicly call on the kingdom not to execute juveniles not execute peaceful protesters this is something that treason my government doing and we've seen over the last the last year or two that the kingdom team or want to be says has intensified so i decided

that much better direct concerns in the sidelines or behind closed doors had been shown not to be in a time kind of this government started our human rights in its engagement with the king kingdom by privately and publicly. bella thankee with the reprise thank you very much bella al-jazeera is demanding the release of maternal samudra saying who has now been an egyptian prison for more than three hundred days is accused of broadcasting false has to spread chaos claims he and al-jazeera strongly deny his saying has repeatedly complained of mistreatment in jail he was arrested and december all visiting with his family. ok time for a weather and los angeles rob is there no longer a record breaking temperatures there slowly cooling down on tuesday that gave the whole world series baseball game if you probably already know yes. forty two degrees is down time and i beat

like if this secession were actually to happen that it would be financially economically bad for everybody involved is that right. yes it is right the thing is during this last year's debate has been so focused in one. explaining the potential effect. that you were just mentioning and just. thousand companies are living. people or many people who are supporting independence were not aware. of the facts . from. the question of independence from the top.

what is now going to happen because we haven't spoken about this. limbo if you will that this uncertainty has been cast over spain this right now it seems to already now be causing economic issues even just being certainty of it. understand. i said that even just this this limbo. you seem to be there seem to be economic impact just from that. you cannot make import. carrying the economy. even. more.

so it's something that. is farther than just economy it's going to be. going to the police. so calling for new elections was the only way. in avoiding. for catalonia reaching. so do you think if economics weren't driving this debate that perhaps there would be a different turnout of people were really aware of what the financial impact of this could be. definitely majority of the society were not aware of the economy in fact i would certainly say

that. because it hasn't been explained. and then get condom is not something very static and predictable so one thing. could happen and then we have. to get interference and putting pressure or. the. two companies so. many companies. i would say expected one. thank you very much. tighter airport security measures will take effect for all passengers on u.s. bound flights starting thursday the new rules have been imposed by the trump administration and includes stricter screening of passengers and electronic devices to be gopalan has more from hong kong international airport. the new security measures are seen as a crucial test for cathay pacific an airline which prides itself on efficiency and

sympathy here at the airports cathay pacific say they've increased the number of staff but there are still under tremendous pressure about fourteen flights a day to the united states david chaytor has been speaking to travelers at paris's charles de gaulle airport. the new security measures were introduced by. adding to the delays that some passengers are facing on transatlantic flights to the united states also of course there's been a lot of fog but the american administration who are sponsible for safety say that as threats evolved so to counter measures to combat them security officials say these new measures should make it more easy to detect any explosives that might have been planted on any parts of the electronic equipment and the passengers queuing for this flight to new york this afternoon on air france anyone particularly bothered by the list of questions they faced. what you've got to this

is a it's a question of this. is that what. about. the difference i think it's a good start but it's. very efficient for the moment because. everybody could. take. the white house say steps are necessary for the country's national security and only designed to increase the safety for passengers if that is the case and how long before these sort of a scene on short haul flights and domestic flights. before he died last october thailand. was the world's longest serving monarch during his reign spanning seven decades. to his. trying hundreds of thousands of mourners. in the capital bangkok. culminating
