a violent and drawn out election process which included two disputed polls kenyata all leaders to serve the nation regardless of political affiliation and said he would dare to dedicate all his energy to building what he called unity and nationhood. today. is the one hundred twenty third day since we began on august the. traditional that isn't there for months. and i repeat. all blown electoral process the elections. on now firmly behind us it's been a trying time. but once again canyons of zone the resilience. in calming the person on the passes that accompany political competition. police fired tear gas to disperse supporters of opposition leader. he rejected

kenyatta's inauguration valent to hold his own swearing in ceremony as president in two weeks he says kenyatta is presidency is illegitimate and vowed to push for fresh elections. used chapter one of the constitution the people me in and we have said that and decide what well we should hold the people's assembly that will swear me into office. catherine so he has more on the swearing in ceremony so catherine the message there from the president was one of unity for all kenyans but we're all kenyans listening. well it seems all kenyans were not listening that election that you're talking about which he warned was highly controversial millions of supporters of the opposition has him do not and those president who are king arthur's. presidency they say that their lection was

a fraud that he should not be taking all of this today so today really his message was really unifying very big new need to say that he wants to be a president of all kenyans saying that he wants to unite all kenyans and asking the opposition really to support him in that effort you heard in that speech him saying that there lection period is over that the country needs to move on and he also spoke all the right things saying that he wants to provide more jobs to the people saying talking about providing a free secondary school education expanding health care and also continuing with development projects that he had started in the last in the last five years in his last term but a lot of people i've talked to has a saying that they want to see how he's going to deal with the economy that has been slowing down not just because of the uncertainty around the election but also because of other factors like

a prolonged drought in the year many people you talk to say that they're struggling to make ends meet the cost of living is very high in fact just to give you an example thousands of people who came here more than sixty thousand of them walked out today many not knowing where they're going to get their next meal and this is not just about rooting out the supporters it's across the board even opposition supporters are you know suffering the same problem so people saying that she really needs to address the economy as a matter of priorities others saying that he needs to decisively deal with corruption in the public sector as well that is something that he never really did in his last in his previous term so he actually even see. and overwhelmed by it at this time so people saying that he needs to deal with that people need to feel that their lives are improving right now many people whether who are supporters or supporters many people do not feel that their life is improving has a. danger and his supporters on the opposition's side catherine

are vying to try to fight this result as we mentioned there but it begs the question of what what are their options realistically at this point. absolutely there's a lot of people you talk to will say that. there really is running out of options or particularly after the supreme court upheld the victory of king arthur he however say that he does not recognise our ruling as well he said that other supreme court judges made their ruling under duress and the opposition nasser his opposition coalition is playing some cards like you said he said he has said today that he is going to be sworn in on twelfth of december by what he's calling the people the symbol and the people the symbol is a group that is you know made up of civil society youth groups and other groups

within the local government level that is supposed to push for a fresh election at that level he's also talking about what they're calling the national resistance movement talking about civil disobedience economic boycotts as well they say that they're going to continue this push until a legit to make government is in place will this work out what is the end game supporters of all working at are saying that this will really work out that we need to move on the country needs to move on the supporters saying that's going to keep at it that this has to work. catherine so a lot of first. now as u.n. and syrian opposition delegates gather in geneva a video has emerged of syrian government jets continuing their bombing of eastern huta on the outskirts of the capital damascus three people died in the air strikes on tuesday at least nineteen were killed in separate air strikes earlier the rebel area has come under heavy bombardment in the last forty eight hours and the united

a police whistleblower scandal francis was jailed had been at the center of a political crisis there the resignation looks to avoid a no confidence motion in the government which could have triggered early elections during crucial breaks in negotiations. for its job was accused of failing to protect a police officer who was smeared and victimized after blowing the whistle on corruption prime minister leo varadkar had been standing by her prompting the threat of a no confidence vote on tuesday by the second largest party for oil this could have pulled down the government weeks ahead of a key e.u. summit on breaks in the gauche ations between the u.k. and e.u. central to those talks are the status of the border between northern ireland which is in the u.k. and the republic of ireland which remains in the european union and the bark as more on this now from dublin. the last thing the irish government wanted right now was for political instability that would come with

a general election ireland wields a tremendous amount of political clout over breaks it talks at the moment they say that they will veto the possibility of negotiations going to the next level all important trade talks with the brussels until ireland has a clear cut idea of what will happen to the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland a part of the u.k. there's a border that seen decades of bloodshed in the past nobody wants to see the return of a hard border nobody wants to see the resurgence of old sectarian tensions once again the last thing anybody here wanted was the political instability that comes with the general election and it looks very merrily right at the last minute as if that has now been averted. how the world's most vulnerable fleeing war and poverty back home are being abused and optioned as slaves the shocking danger facing migrants and refugees in libya the u.n.

refugee agency chief is briefing the security council and it's holding an emergency meeting called by france over slavery has been reported hundreds of people are being auctioned in modern day slave markets in libya for as little as four hundred dollars libya as the main transit hub for refugees and migrants trying to reach southern europe by sea they're coming from nigeria eritrea guinea ivory coast gambia senegal sudan and somalia and the power vacuum in libya after the fall of moammar gadhafi has made human trafficking and people smuggling smuggling a booming trade in the european union's renewed strategy to stop migrants and refugees traveling across the mediterranean has led to more people being stuck in libya without money or food mike hanna is at the united nations headquarters in new york so mike why is is france calling this debate now.

well actually that's a good question a week ago today the u.n. security council are cast a resolution condemning this a slave trade in libya however france clearly felt that this was not enough along with some other members so it is called again this emergency session which is taking place at the moment france making clear that it wants to push things a little bit further wants to discuss exactly how to end this trade what kind of punitive measures should be taken against those individuals and entities responsible for what it describes as these barbaric acts and crimes against humanity this is what the outgoing president of the security council and french ambassador had to say i would say the two goals of this meeting is. number one for the whole security council to be aware. in the face of the world

of the tragedy. that is happening there and also to express security council unified opposition against such despicable practices that shock the conscience of the world that's number one awareness and. unify the position of the security council and the second goal of the meeting . used to work on the most efficient responses to effectively deal with such as chords. well once again what you are seeing here is something that is focusing tightly on libya and the slave trade there but there's something far greater than this the secretary general in addressing the security council meeting a week ago made very clear that this is a developmental issue that the issue of slave trade in libya is just the peak of

what is happening way underneath and it's these issues that need to be addressed along with the a media task of dealing with the slave trade that has bee witnessed within libya. so talk a little bit more about that then mike i mean as you say this this this discussion was ostensibly about the slave trade but what are the issues in this wider context . well what you're looking at essentially is a perfect storm leading to complete human degree dacian on the one hand you have a continent that in many areas is engaged in stride if you have the operations of entities like i saw you have. you have all sorts of mini wars a major wars going on along with poverty drought climate change this is creating this massive flux of forced migration throughout the continent it's also leading to

the way of refugees libya is a major exit point for refugees from throughout the continent but then on the other side what you have as you mentioned in the introduction is restrictions from the european union on the entry of migrants all refugees into europe generally now this is creating the blockade the perfect storm that i referred to which allows things like the slave trade in libya to happen as the secretary general said while focusing on the slave trade in libya attention also has to be paid to the underlying causes and also how the wider world deals with this problem problem of forced migration and refugees mike hanna live for us there at u.n. headquarters in new york. now amnesty international says it's obtained internal documents they say point to an oil giant's complicity in crimes committed by the nigerian military during the one nine hundred ninety s. the report which shows that shell and the nigerian government operated as business

partners having regular meetings to talk about the protection of their interests at that time protests by the orgone people in southeastern nigeria were taking place in response to years of oil spills the devastated their environment the documents show that in october twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred shell requested what they called security protection to subdue peaceful demonstrations over the next two days police attacked an organ even with guns and grenades killing at least eighty people and burning almost six hundred houses. annecy international research of mark dummett says there are grounds for a criminal investigation the evidence suggests or points to doesn't point to any direct involvement by a shell staffer for michele staff i mean these were horrific crimes including murder torture rape and the destruction of villages these were carried out by members of the nigerian military but the internal shell documents show that

throughout this period the company was encouraging. the the nigerian military government and the military unit involved to take action against these protesters even after the company knew what was likely to happen i just want to give you one concrete example we one of the documents that we've we've got is a shell internal memo dated the third of march one thousand nine hundred ninety four and this memo authorized the payment of around nine hundred dollars to a military commander and shell explains that this payment is partly for a sustained favorable this position toward shell in future assignments in other words this payment was partly for future assignments now just days before this payment was made this military commander who received the nine hundred dollars had opened fire on unarmed protesters outside the front gate of shell's headquarters in

port harcourt and months later was responsible for the brutal crackdown in ago and that's one example of many that we have. a spokesperson for shell in nigeria has provided a statement to al-jazeera saying we have always denied in the strongest possible terms the allegations made in this tragic case he goes on to say amnesty international's allegations are false and without merit shell did not collide with the authorities to suppress community unrest and in no way encouraged or advocated any act of violence in nigeria. now a leftist television host is on course for a surprise victory in honduras his presidential election salvador has almost a five point lead over incumbent when orlando hernandez endorses one of the poorest nations in south america and it has the highest murder rates in the world. an erupting volcano is keeping indonesians on eggshells stranding thousands of
