yes, and that's the same that's met some of the products uncomfort, the dumping of can be clean treated fabrics. yeah. like most african markers is a major source of good for local partners. white, strict, amsterdam. but even the few kits, all shocked groups, bringing him in more than 500 years. ah kenya on a knife edge, the results of the closely fort presidential race are expected to be announced. ah, hello there, i'm mr. z. attain this is al 0 life and also coming man laws deposed leda on santucci is sentenced to a father. 6 years in prison on corruption charges. aging says it's ready to smash

any foreign intervention as us politicians, as a taipei, germany's environment minister, once of an ecological catastrophe. as fish die in large numbers along the border with polar. ah. but we begin in kenya, where the results of last week's presidential election are expected to be announced within allas. the count of balance has been slow, the race extremely tight, as roaches wait for results, public frustration and concern as mounting in a country with a history of political violence. unofficial results reported in kenyan media show, deputy president william russo and veteran opposition need a ride out of danger on neck and neck. competing to replace outgoing lead, who, who can jasa? he's served his limit of 2 terms as president. hol, let speak to malcolm web. he's mine for us in nairobi. now can i believe here at the counting center? what's the latest from there?

waiting to find out what the final result is. it'll be announced in the auditorium in, in just a short while from now. what we know for sure is that it's a very close race between the 2 main contenders ryder were doing and william root. so now the votes have been county deficiency by the electoral commission, and also other counts of italy that have been done by media houses and so on. over the last 6 days since people voted then depending on which constituency was counted in which order some of those polls have shown at the moment, right? having a slight lead at the moment root. so having a slight lead and publication of the partially county results, along with a flurry of miss information on social media, led many supporters of both candidates to believe that that candidate is about to win. now when these results are announced, if neither of those 2 front runner is met,

the friend threshold of 50 percent plus one vote, then the elections due to go for a run off with just those 2 main content, the standing it. on the other hand, if one of them is declared to have 50 percent plus one vote, 2 more, they will be announced. the winner. if that happens, it's expected that the margin of victory will be narrow. an a narrow margin means a high probability of a court challenge 5 years ago in the last election. the supreme court actually knows the election overturned the results, and ordered a rebuttal. complainants have one week after the announcement of these results to file a legal challenge. if they want to, malcolm, given the contentiousness of all of that, it does really feel like anxiety has been building your costs. can you the longer the way who certainly 6 days, 6 days have been filled with a lot of speculation. mis information, as i mentioned with fabricated results being published on social media. but the,

because choosing gives the actual commission 7 days and after the closing of poles to come up with that result. and following that, supreme court ruling last time as being quite a lot of pressure on the electoral commission to try and get it right this time. so they've been more transparent than ever before. the result forms from every polling station when they were filed electronically. at the end of polling day, they were immediately made available in line, not for enable political parties and other access to run their own parallel tallies and rights groups certainly hope that transparency makes it harder to rig the results than easier to prove any rigging in cause and the malcolm where they cross their results for us as they happen in nairobi. thanks so much malcolm. well, now a course in man man has convicted austell, either from tuchi in more corruption cases, adding another 6 years to her prison sentence. the charges relates to accusations

that she was building a home with money from charitable organizations to she has already been convicted of other minor offenses. well, tony chang is following developments for us from bangkok as 77 years old. this really takes uncensored she out of the political picture for quite some time to come in. and i think this is what everyone was expecting she's facing. in total 19 cases for arranger of charges, including the ones to day for corruption or, or sewing in the court to their napa door, they heard case. they have evidence in a case which has been brought against her for misuse of her est helicopter. there have been cases about the misuse of walkie talkies. a really i think what we're seeing here is a continuation of the process which we've seen since the coo of the military who have just thrown charges against her. trying to remove it. they know that if a,

in an electoral a stand up, she would defeat them again. they have promised elections by the autumn of 2023. we've heard from men on lie the senior general in charge of the military jointer, or that he will go ahead with that in the last couple of weeks. if uncensored she was to remain in the political sphere at that stage, it would be a very difficult obstacle to come. so what this does is remove her further and further away her. there are still several more cases. she'll need to face in the coming weeks where they were hearing more evidence that they are. but i think today's charges are really shoak, that she, the military intention is to keep her out of the picture completely. on china's defense ministry says beijing is ready to smash any foreign interference. it's also called the u. s. saboteurs in response to an american congressional delegations visit to taipei and beijing has carried out more life. i unless he exercises near the island on monday, it is

a trip to taiwan. my american politician exposes the us as a spoiler of peace and stability in taiwan strait. how you mit, she found the engine joshua these delegation led by us macklin has insisted on visiting. that's why one region of china, in disregard of trying to position this blazingly, violates the one china principal. it violates china sovereignty and territorial integrity and sends erroneous signals tie one independent separate forces, offer a parent. taiwan says it will be deterred by china's response to visits by foreign political figures. again, this time is of great significance because the chinese military exercises to deter us congressmen from visiting taiwan. but it also proves that china cannot stop politicians from any country to visit taiwan. and it also conveys an important message that the american people stand with the taiwanese people. on general, patrick fuck has worn out from beijing. the lot of people might have expected would

happen. the eastern thing to come on has now announced a new round of drills around the taiwan strait. that announcement was accompanied by some pretty forceful language as well, with a military saying that it would resolutely smash any foreign interference. and it also reiterated a point that was made by the chinese embassy in washington. which was to say that the visit, expose the true face of the u. s. as a troublemaker and sabbath of peace and stability in the taiwan strait. we don't know an awful lot about the nature of this round of combat drills or how long it all might last. but it is worth noting that the exercises, which were extended in the wake of nancy pelosi, his visits had toned down in recent days. but they hadn't see sol together, and ty wants defense ministry said the 11 chinese that crawford crossed over into his advent. so on sunday, the foreman's re here invasion was also question about the visit earlier and folks bus 11 been reiterated the one china principal was the political foundation of ties

between china, the u. s. and the developments of bilateral relations. the urge washington to stop fudging or hollowing out the one china principal. you also accuse some us politicians of colluding with taiwanese separatists and attempt to challenge the one china principal. he said that they were doomed to fail and that they were overestimating themselves. well, germany is environment minister says the mass dieth of fish in the odor river is an ecological catastrophe. steph, 11 said, the cause is still unknown. scientists have tested 150 water samples and examined some of the dead fish. no toxic substances, mercury, nor heavy metals have been identified. the earth runs through germany and poland. well, let's bring in a dominant cane. he is in level on the banks of the oda, dominic, it seems a grand mystery. any idea of what's behind the necessity?

you're right, there is a degree of uncertainty about what exactly is cool thing. so many of the fish in this river to die. the ferry remains some form of toxic agent, whatever that might be. we know that the 2 respective governments from poland and germany have ruled out certain more of this talk since they're still working on the basis that something toxic was introduced into the river somewhere. and that obviously got into the fish who have been dying. tons of dead fish, it has to be said, have been discovered along the banks of the river. or if you look over my shoulder, you'll see that there is at least one body of one fish lying there. and it has to be said that a little bit further down the river in an area where it's not safe for us to get to . we have seen schools of bodies of dead fish here. the interesting thing is that the way the government so are looking at this will we know the prime minister of the state of brandenburg in which states the river order goes through the

germans. federalist has been here today to see for himself quite what is happening, but as yet no obvious explanation as to specifically what is causing these fish to die. and dominic, how is this then being handled in terms of trying to limits the, the spread or the scale of the interesting thing here is that this river is the natural frontier between poland and germany on the german side. but literally, just across the rivers, you can see it's the polish sides, and there are some voices. i have to say some voice is not a great many, but some voices in germany on the political side of things who are asking questions about the speed with which the polish authorities have put measures in place. now clearly that view is not shared at the governmental level. there's no sickness, no suggestion of that. in fact, the environment ministers of both governments met yesterday in this area to talk

about the situation to try to work out a combined plan of action. but as i said there is this sense that maybe some people think other things could have been done. and overall the question which really dominates the thought here. where did this happen? something is killing these fish. where exactly did it happen so far? at least there seems to be no real way. in fact, a reluctance that seems to be to say exactly where the toxicity was brought in to the river. whether that was in poland or in germany. we just don't know. very interesting. and the dominant came there with all the laces for us on the banks of the odor of it. thanks so much dominic. while stella had here on out of era, the prime minister remotely promises to turn india into a developed country in the next 25 years. as it celebrates 75 years of independence

and waiting for a reunion that may never come. how many, such for the missing russia invaded ukraine? ah, the journey has begun. the v for world copy is on its way to the castle book. your travel package today. got a minute 15 to bring you up to speed with your weather pitcher? hi, everyone will start in indo china. we're some pretty big, lively downpours can be found here, stretching from home in city, especially around the bangkok area as well on tuesday. now if we go further towards the north, let's pick this story up in china long, the yangtze river valley, you know, in central portions of china, it has been about 9 weeks of unrelenting heat. and there are still no signs that those temperatures are using. there. we've had some lively downpours across the korean peninsula that energy is now shifting into japan's main island of honshu,

where we have seen flooding in the past as well. tokyo, you're going to squeeze out one more nice day at $36.00 degrees. quite possibly. that could be your 16th day so far this year above $35.00 degrees. so further solidifying that record, we've got this area of low pressure spinning around moving away from the pradesh into northwestern portions of india. and you guessed it. this is going to spill into pockets done as well. so the weather continues for st province and will ends this weather report off in the middle east where we've had some pretty big dust storms in dubai. and that picture looks like it could potentially repeat itself on tuesday. official airlines of the journey drank assessments. how much support is there? if it's street protests that we've seen in jail across the rest of the country, the street has been, has been very good. that's happening into the core concerns of people across the country, informed opinions we will say more of it. what is happening is that climate change

it making them work in depth analysis of the days global headlines, rocky is credited by some way where they were storing italy's credibility. this critics would say he couldn't play the part of a politician. what do you think went wrong inside story on al jazeera? ah the color there on the hall, that's remind you about top stories here. the sound, the results of last week's presidential election and kenya are expected to be announced very shortly. unofficial results reported in canyon media shows the 2 front runners, neck and neck. a quarter miano has convicted our data on frontier and more corruption cases, adding 6 years to her presence and the charges relate to accusations that she was

building a home with money from charitable organization. the chinese military says is carried out further drills around high one. the exercise has come as a u. s. congressional delegation is in, ty pay and holding talk with the island president. then one year since the taliban, we took control of afghanistan. economy has collapsed. women had been stripped of their rights and millions of people don't know where the next man is coming from. a some a bunch of a reports from couple on the taliban viet and power. what lies ahead? raise sound in england is done. the musician and driver after has lived in a few camps since his childhood. he's among the more than 3000000 people displaced in earnest on market the among care of the hope before was good. but now life just passed us by. before we could find some food for our children, but the change in government means there is no work now. a year ago,

tens of thousands of people headed for the voters. as provinces fell to the taliban, many in cobbled rushed to the airport. as the rest in government collapsed. after taking refuge abroad, sharp gone, he denied that he escaped the suitcases full of cash. more than 100000 people left during the bedroll of foreign forces. the economy collapsed and the u. s. for billions of dollars of foreign reserves. the u. s. nato alliance spent an estimated $300000000.00 a day every day for 2 decades. but basic such as roads, schools, hospitals, are either non existent or in poor shape. since the taliban took over, that money has stopped coming in. and thousands of professionals have less human rights watch has accused a dollar bond of a long list of abuses, restricting the rights of women and girls, suppressing media feed him and detaining, torturing and executing critics. and perceived opponents all allegations. the

taliban denies that didn't motivate them. covenant. these in some other areas, things a good we're trying to improve. but we should also take into account the problems of the corona virus, the suspension of foreign aid, the freezing of money, the problems in banking, drought. all these together had increased the problems for the people of afghanistan. for those who left life not easy, more than half the 20000 enough, gone to reach the u. k. are still in temporary accommodation, the lack of prospects abroad, and many faith, harrison and the threat of detention cut over home for support. true. i lost everything including my restaurant, atlanta go to europe, so i went to turkey. unfortunately, they captured us and deported us to iran. thank god. now we are in our home and i will never go anywhere else. in a year, security is improved, but poverty and desperation have increased by the taliban. 6 international recognition. there are some concessions. it seems unwilling to make some java down to 0 problem. well that's now bring in neil turner,

he's the country director for afghanistan that than a weekend refugee council. he joins us by scott some couple, you know, we've obviously covered the humanitarian situation that in depth we know the levels of poverty and hardship that are extreme. i want to focus on how the country moves forward, if it can, with the aid, it's hugely politicized. resources are scarce. unicef, for instance, are there any what 40 percent of the funding needs? how are you at the and i'll see doing well, there has been a lot of shantarian assistance. and over the last year we've managed to support a half a 1000000 people in some shape or full. but there's no doubt that there is more need for humanitarian assistance, but wider than that. i think we need to have a economic reconstruction because we can only do so much for the situation at the moment. we can put a band aid on the various media humanitarian needs. we've been responding to earthquakes, floods and also the dia, poverty,

and food insecurity. but in the longer term, there's no substitute for an economic recovery. of course, given the decisions though, that the taliban has made over the last day that promises it's broken, especially for instance, that ban on secondary school for girls. are you comfortable rolling out programs and scaling up a bit? well, our attitude is that the people of afghanistan should not be punished either for defacto authorities actions or from the lack of interest from the international community to go beyond humanitarian aid. the levels of suffering, seeing at the moment, malnutrition coping mechanisms that people are using, skipping males, selling young girls into marriage to survive child labor. so many things. these are what are visited on the afghan people and whatever the situation

politically, the has to be a solution to help the afghan population. neil, i know a lot of other organizations that concerns that providing aid to afghanistan at the moment might mean there are the funding drives up around the world because the sources of funding that they have don't want that association with the taliban. how much is that restricting assistance there at the moment? i wouldn't say that there is a restriction of assistance in those terms. we are able to offer as all parts of the country and the donors on the humanitarian side have been very generous, but that providing through us, ah, there is a problem more globally in relation to humanitarian aid. but we have to have an international assistance to the many crises in the world where the donors can walk and chew gum at the same time because the needs are immense. where displacement organization on the levels of displacement in the world are record levels does same in afghanistan that there are splits within the taliban around how conservative

policy should potentially be. how is that playing out with international aid organizations that we're focused on doing what we can at the moment to assist people who are and needs and we have to do that and also look at the ability of being stuff community to help with reconstruction. we have no restrictions and what we can do, we have many ad hoc, inconsistent bureaucratic impediments which stop us. but generally us were seen in the earthquake response, which was done recently. we are able to up but we're also coding on this further assistance in relation to the re, establishment of the central bank, for example, the ability for other banks to work to finance the private sector. because as

long as this continues, the situation is only going to be dealt with on this monetary basis. and we have to go further. of course, i want your racking on the ground that can i ask you what's your sense in rural areas, our people, they're happy the fighting is ease to or are they disillusioned by how this last year has gone? does no doubt the conflict has reduced west, still seeing levels of displacement caused mainly by quality in economic situation. so where people were displaced by conflict before then i'm moving from the rural areas into the towns, but surely for economic reasons. so they're not happy about the relative piece which exists in afghanistan. now what we need to do is make sure that there is a peace dividend for kids dividend fully for general population. and that's just not

happening. well, let me ask you then neil about sustainability and moving forward because everyone seems to want to find somewhere to lay blame the taliban damian's national community. vice versa. is there a way to print for greater freedom for afghans without holding every day afghans hostage in your mind? well, definitely. we would colon they taliban to make sure that women's rights are respected since last year. we've seen no women in any positions within a government structures we've seen when women's business is closed. we've seen social dress restrictions put in place. and of course we still do not have the secondary school age go education. this has to change. we have to move forward with having the girls going into education. but in the moment what's

happening is there's an in house which he needs to be of a come and will say whether and candy, indeed, milton, over the country director for afghanistan at the norwegian refugee council. thank you so much for joining us. and we wish you all the best with you and thank you very much. i'm leaving on and celebrations are being held across india to mock 75 years of independence. their prime minister read remote address, the nation from the historic red force and new daddy nod crowd. the also expected as a ceremony at the atari walk up border with pakistan. the end of british rule and 1947 resulted in the partition of india. and the formation of pakistan. more than 15000000 people were displaced amid widespread violence problem. it all has moved from new deli today morning, prime minister movie hoisted the flag and also addressed the nation. and in his speech, he paid tribute to freedom fighters who made today possible. and also talk about issues of the country needs to address,
