ah say that mm hm. and then international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero. ah, this is al jazeera ah. here watching the news. our live from headquarters in del. hi, i'm terry and obligate. coming up in the next 60 minutes. kenya, on a knife edge, the results of a tightly contested presidential election are about to be unveiled. we'll bring you the announcement live main contender as our deputy president william russo and veteran opposition leader. right. let me think both sides have claimed there ahead

. over the past 5 days of counting, beijing says it's ready to smash any foreign intervention as us politicians visit type pay. germany's environment minister warns of an ecological catastrophe. a fish die in large numbers along the border with poland. and later in sport, we've gone tennis from canada and gulf and memphis. we'll hear from antonio conte and thomas to co following a fiery encounter in awe . welcome to the news. our results of kenya's totally contested presidential election are expected to be announced in just a few minutes. you're looking at life pictures from inside the counting center, nairobi where the electoral commission is set to make that announcement. kenyans went to the polls last tuesday, and most voters have cast their ballots for 2 men,

ry letting go, or william roots ho. both are a veteran politicians. we have malcolm web standing by for us in ruby, i believe just outside that the center malcolm. what's behind the delay? we'll, we'll just done that william arrived here shortly ago. he's now inside the auditorium . yet we're just outside that main tale center where the result was going to be announced. we can see what's happening on this big screen here. as far as on the stand, right, we're dealing with a bit late, but we've just seen the motorcade pulling in. she think is, is we'll find out a few minutes because we'll see those candidates walking into this auditorium to hear the final result. when it's down from the electro commissioner from all the dates we've seen so far as being suggested, this is a very close race. if neither candidate has of those 2 candidates has

reached the threshold of 50 percent plus one or more of the votes cost. then that means that this goes to run off the roof for candidates in the 1st pole, but it's just the 2 leaders that would go forward to the, to the run off. but in the event that one of them is declared the winner with 50 percent plus one or more of the vote cost. then they will be announced that the president elect. but there's certainly a possibility that that could be legal challenges to this as the have been in the past. the last 3 elections in kenya, the results of them have been disputed. and if there is a victory by a narrow margin, not certainly at least the ground quite open for a legal challenge in the last election 5 years ago. it was right or didn't get that time leading the opposition who challenged the election results in court. and the supreme court ruled that there were sufficient irregularities to know the election in order to rerun that happened

a couple of months later. but aligns is shifted significantly since then while everything you know, has the backing of outgoing president who kenyatta and who kenra kenya says deputy william is, is the other main contender. so a lot is shifted a lot since then a, but certainly all the data that we've seen in the last few days suggests that any margin of victory will be fairly narrow. so we waited to find out if this is accepted. if the, if the results are accepted by, by both of these comes certainly a lot of the supporters of these 2 politicians across the country. hoping, expecting that the candidate is about to be announcing the winner. and how are kenyans reacting to this process, malcolm, because it feels like anxiety has been building the longer the weight where it was 6 days ago, and people went to the polls since then,

these been the official tally. been taken place here, the tally center operated by the electoral commission. other organizations who have been doing their own tally, some media houses and other organizations to and depending on which order the constituencies accounted in. some of those tallies at the moment, shown narrow lead for one candidate or other moments for the other and in circulation of this information. these incomplete accounts, along with quite a lot of misinformation and propaganda on social media of lead support is to believe that that candidate is about to win. and then of course, you mustn't forget the history of irregularities in canyon elections. it was widespread perception in 2007, the royal everything. the opposition had been rigged up to the victory that led to the violence in which more than a 1000 people were killed in the last election 5 years ago that supreme court ruling ruled that there were significant irregularities in the poll. so among

certainly many kenyans and many voters is quite a lot of mistrust in the process. but this time, in some respects, the process has actually been more transparent following not court ruling last time . the electoral commission posted every result form from every polling station on line. as soon as it was transmitted from the polling stations to hear the tale center was also made publicly available. anyone could download the form, so anyone could run a power tale, right? groups hope that additional transparency will help to build trust in the process to prevent rigging and also make any rigging easier to prove in court. should this end up being disputed in court. her remark will cross back to us when the results trickle in. thank you so much for the time being on some web reporting from my roby . let's me to charles hornsby, who is an independent research on kenny of politics. he's joining us from my robi as well. welcome to l, just 0. we're still waiting. of course,

for the official results. but how did, how close do you expect this, this to be? it's going to be very close. indeed. 200000 votes, one way or the other is my estimation. right, and whoever does when the presidential election, even if the gap is narrow as you are saying, the responsibility of uniting the country might be huge, will, will they be up to the task? i think either on either side that when faces some serious economic challenges, they have a divided political, elite, political establishment and a divided community. however, i believe there are opportunities to reach out, and my hope is that, you know, whoever wins will end up taking the opportunity to reach out to the leasing site. and i believe that's possible. look at the big picture for us and tell us just how important and significant this election is for the country. well, it's a transition election. we've had the same government in various forms to 10 years.

so this is an opportunity to change the election was fort on the side of william returns organization with a radical program with economic change. not always fully fleshed out, not entirely sure if it's always viable, but it was a clear program of economic transformation. very, very major promises were made, whether they can be delivered, it is another matter entirely on the railroads also made some radical change promises. but again, the reality will often how do you explain the lower voter turnout this time around compared to the last election? considering the challenges for the country are so huge. now, as you're saying, particularly the economy, i think the political system has a little bit distress them and it may not feel like it right now. but in general terms, people are not taking it as quite as much as a life and death issue as they did maybe 510 years ago. the voted vote is role is

a little bit older. so you would expect a slight reduction than not perfect in terms of being able to remove that voters from the register as well. but the window of the and of course, the absence of the candidate from the now can you community did lead to a reduction in the turn out in that particular region to talk to previous selections. how much trust do you think canyons have in their democracy? i think the selection has been pretty well run and i believe it's helped us to build a trust that's come and gone over the years. there's a long history of electron malpractice. there's also a long history of allegations of from our practice, even if they're not substantiated. and even if they're not true, they have that kind of corrosive effect on the body politic on people's expectations of that political system. but everybody has been delighted with the performance of the fees and for kenny as neighbor as why is it so why is

a smooth transition and a stable democracy in kenya. so important for them? well can you is simply the regional house for the region. it's essential to find a solution to it. so political problems to allow it to go back to work. because obviously for the past week, the cars, even before the political systems being kind of frozen decision making is being very difficult. and a lot of things are just waiting on the outcome. ok, we are also waiting on the outcome. so we'll let you go for now. charles hornsby, thanks so much for speaking to us from nairobi, plenty more had only al jazeera ins, our, including me and mar courts, adds more years to depose leader ang san sue cheese prison sentence. prime minister and a render mowdy promise is to turn india into a developed country in the next 25 years as it celebrates 75 years of independence

. later in sport, we are highlight for a tennis veteran claiming his 1st rosters victory. ah, so a quarter me and mar, has convicted ousted liter, uncensored. she and more corruption cases. adding 6 years to her prison sentence, the charges related to accusations that she was building a home with money from charitable donations. so she has already been convicted of other minor offenses. tony chang is following the developments from bangkok as 77 years old. this really takes uncensored she out of the political picture for quite some time to come and, and i think this is what everyone was expecting. she is facing in total 19 cases for a range of charges, including the ones to day for corruption or sewing in the court to the inept at all

. they her case. they have evidence in a case which has been brought against her for misuse of a state helicopter. there have been cases about the misuse of walkie talkies. and 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 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, john to add 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. or there are still several more cases. she'll need to face in the

coming weeks where they were hearing more evidence today. but i think today's charges really show that she, the military intention is to keep her out of the picture completely. china defense ministry says beijing is ready to smash any foreign interference. it's also called the u. s. sabbath tours in response to an american congressional delegation visit to type a meeting, carried out more life fire military exercises near the island. on monday, it says the trip to taiwan by american politicians exposes the u. s. as a spoiler of peace and stability in the taiwan straits made how you mit withdrawal from the engine joshua these delegation led by us to michael and has insisted on visiting. that's why one region of china and disregard of trying to position this blazingly violates the one china principal. it violates china sovereignty and territorial integrity. and since erroneous signals are going to tie one independent separate forces. what i want as

a won't be deter by china as response to visits by 4 and political figures. again, you said on so this time is of great significance because the chinese military exercises to deter us, congressmen from visiting taiwan. there is, 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. journalist patrick folk has more 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. i 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 straits. 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 ceased altogether, and ty wants defense ministry said the 11 chinese crawford crossed over into his ad offense sewn on sunday. the foreman's re here invasion was also question about the visit earlier and spoke bus one when been reiterated the one china principal was the political foundation of time between china, the u. s. and the development of bilateral relations of the earth, washington to stop fudging or hollowing out the one china principal. he also accused some us politicians of colluding with taiwanese separatists. and as attempts to challenge the one china principal, he said that they were doomed to fail and that they were overestimating themselves . china central bank has trimmed interest rates to boost economic growth,

new figures. so industrial output grew just 3.8 percent in july. but that was lower than expected. retail sales have slowed an investment in property has dropped the rate cuts suggest the government believes it cannot achieve its growth target this year of 5 and a half percent. andrew collier as managing director at orient capital research, he says the rate cuts was a surprise. most people felt the given rising inflation and the fact that interest rates are rising in the, you know, united states and drawing investment out of china that the central bank would not go so far as to cut rates. but they did do that. it really indicates a real sense of, i don't know, one of a panic, but a concerns in the leadership about the lack of growth in the economy. in fact, they've been throwing a lot of money in the problem. the banks have excess capacity to lead, but a lot of bar borrowers don't want to borrow because they see that the opportunities to invest are very, are shrinking. in fact, there's a lot of downturn in the economy, the p turning people away. or the bursting property bubble is, is, or is,

is the biggest millstone around china's neck. essentially, that it's something like 25 to 30 percent of g d p. and it looks like people protesting mortgages and lack of investment property industry. it's a bigger problem. the only thing i can say is that there's the august data of the frequency data from august shows that some port exports are still are picking up steel and concrete sales. surprisingly we're picking up even though the property market is getting less investment. so we'll have to see if there's might be some modest, very modest turnaround. and august is really police have shot and killed a palestinian man and occupied to east jerusalem. they say he tried to stab officers during a rage, but he has the latest. we know that this really forces every did this house over here. you can probably see the damages that they've caused when they entered the house. the family are telling us that as mohammed the 21 year old who was in the

house was getting close to where the door is, he was attacked and shot. why is really forces fire? there are difficult scenes here as a women are gathering to control the mother of how much she lost her child. the father we spoke to, he says that his son was assassinated in cold blood. he wasn't doing anything. and you know, this is part of the reality that palestinians live when they are dipping under the decades long of these really military occupation. the body of mohammed was taken by the israeli forces while he was critically injured, divide you still there. so as far as we are concerned here, there is no funeral yet because the body is still with these really forces. you can

see there are difficult seen palestinians say that israel is killing palestinians in cold blood just because they can was heard from the foreign ministry saying that this is a mafia. saw execution with condemn was heard from palestinian officials calling for an urgent investigation. funerals have been held in jesus in greater cairo for at least 41 people who died after a fire at a cop to christian church on sunday. an electrical fire started on the 2nd floor of the building. during mass. thousands of worshippers were trop, causing a stampede famous rob has one. yeah. victims of a fire that killed dozens of people at a church in diesel have been laid to rest the

the community left shocked by the seemingly senseless death and lost so great. it is for some incomprehensible my son has lost his life, my son did. as the church whole stills with bodies to be viewed, mourned and prayed over, the children who died are easy to spot. the smaller the coffin, the younger the victim. grief turns quickly into anger. i children with stunning. they were angels. i know. i know it is god's decision and i accept this. the only question is why this happened. a faulty air conditioning unit spark the electrical fire. 5000 worshippers had gathered for sunday mass. people died from smoke, inhalation and in the ensuing stampede, go to the 4th floor of the church was on fire. there were children in the nursery

and there was a mass. i don't know what happened, but there were kids and elderly people. we saved those, we could, we looked up and saw a lot of black smoke and fumes in the air. copy christians make up about 10 percent of egypt population and are often the victims of discrimination attacks and hate crimes. for many the government offers as compensation are unlikely to mean much in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy that has shaken the largest religious minority in egypt. when disrupting alters your thousands of ukrainians, remain missing. after the brief russian occupation of the town of boucher, the streets were left littered with body is in what ukrainian president followed the resolutions could cause a war crime. many families are still looking for their relatives. john 100 reports from boucher. the books on

a precinct has been searching for her father since the battle of boucher ended in march. sir. hey, per cinco left their home to check on a friend of the me. the family fled to poland during the russian occupation of the town and returned to ukraine to see his car riddled with bullet holes. what must this but you say returning here to see his car. oh, shut up there out of his truck. me was job one neighbor told her he had been shot by russian troops. others said he died in shelling, but exxon believes he might be in russian custody. i can't forgive this people. i would beg them to return my father. i will do anything but get him back to the ship ticket. i would beg them to give back my dad. i would do anything to have him back a life ukrainian authorities,

social media sites in the red cross had been flooded with inquiries about missing people. were talking about several thousands of families who are still searching for their loved ones who want to cheer about their, their loved ones. no, there were about their faith since march. the red cross is central tracing. bureau is fielding calls from 24000 people looking for friends or relatives lost in ukraine. some were buried in numbered graves in boucher of san his home town. some might be in russian captivity. others are simply missing with a russian troops gone in a sense of normality returning. sometimes exxon says she just wants to forget that it was not the cause. i don't want to believe that all of this happened. i just want to fall asleep and wake up and realize that none of this never happened. it's not real. nothing will feel

normal. exxon says until her father is returned to her or found and buried. john, hindrance, al jazeera, boucher ukraine. iran has denied the country was involved in a knife attack on authors on monroe steam. a foreign ministry spokesman said that rusty onto his supporters are to blame. iran issued a decree against the author in 1989 after the publication of his novel. they say tonic verses, which some muslims consider blasphemous, but misty was repeatedly stabbed at a literary event in new york state on friday. his agent says he's on the road to recovery. germany's environment minister has hell talks with her polish counterpart about the mass die off of fish in the river odor. stuffy lamb. case said the cause is still unknown. scientists have tested 150 water samples and examined some of the dead fish. they suspect a poison as talks and is responsible,

but have yet to identify the substance. the odor runs through germany and poland. dominic cane is in level on the banks of the odor river. the theory 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 we'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. if you look over my shoulder, you'll see that there is at least one body of one fish lying. then 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 governments are looking at this,

who we know the prime minister of the state of brandenburg in which states the river order goes through the german say that it 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 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 into the river. whether that was in poland or in germany. we just don't know. there by skyline has been shrouded in a cloud of thick dust. here is jeff would be world weather update. let's go with your world's weather update for the middle east and africa. hi everyone right off the bat. i wanted to show you this scene in dubai. quite intense dust storm. so at some spots during the day visibility was less than

i resumed inability is done. the musician and driver after has lived in the refugee camps in his childhood. he's among the more than 3000000 people displaced in atlanta, st 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 to tens of thousands of people headed for the borders. as provinces fell to the taliban, many in cupboard rushed to the airport as the rest and by the 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 abrupt withdrawal of foreign forces. the economy collapsed and the us for billions of dollars of foreign reserves. the u. s. nato ally and spent an estimated $300000000.00 a day every day for 2 decades. but basic,

such as road 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 the taliban 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 could be 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, or then half the 20000 enough gone to reach the u. k. are still in temporary accommodation, the lack of prospects abroad, and many 5th, harrison and the threat of detention cut over the hump. it's 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 the security has improved, but poverty and desperation have increased. and by the taliban 6 international recognition, there are some concessions. it seems unwilling to make some java down to 0 problem that's been bring in a marcia bought car kale. she's a women's rights activist and was a family court judge in afghanistan. she's joining us from manchester. welcome to l . just 0. what is your biggest concern when it comes to women and girls rights and i've got to stop under the taliban rule. might be concerned about the women in afghanistan, security and safety education. they are old, became jobless. they stop for all out the no social activities. the stop the female

judges, they all the suspend by the taliban government and dev safety is the top of everything on the issue of female judges, you work on helping the remaining female judges in i've got a son and you say that that number has decreased from 270 down to 80 under tolerable rule, or are you worried that number is going to keep on decreasing on the judges, the help of a a w j and from of different countries to help them of them day the sat out and just i tried to be rice of the female judges from my colleagues, but the judges they trip against on the very but condition. of course i am worried and they are very done. it is in the, in a great danger. give us some specific examples of from what you've seen or heard

off just how much the taliban has gone back on their word and have gone back on promises to have women's rights in the country and the other one never, never mentioned about the safety or is supporting female in activist or the people they have a brand on pan and, and bolt the never was needing them up said this may be used. this was for p r to bring attention and for data business for that benefit to recognize them by united nation. but dollars never, never said this or never accept this to be a support, a for, for activist or for people day. they want to do something the they are to freedom for their country. so when the un and other rights groups have accused the taliban

government of imposing restrictions on women, the taliban comes out and denies such allegations. but do you think the united nations is going far enough? what more do you want to see from the international community on the un as i said before, the united nation day, not the forgot about the ganesh son, but the still need to involve more band unit 7, but did not make any sense for august now. and was we need really option for a guest on the target. has people around the villages not see girls are not safe. they are not one problem. the food guy says, security guy says deborah 1000, no problem. and with this government, all right, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us for manchester will many

the by debt ministration promised to help those who worked with the americans during 20 years of war. you have heard her say, for a better part of a year now, and that the united states has an enduring commitment not only to the people of afghanistan, but of course, to american citizens, to a lawful permanent residence on some $1300.00 of whom we have helped transport out of afghanistan over the course of the past year, but also to, ah, asked ins to whom we have a special net. the u. s. has re settled more than 80000 afghans, but critics say many more are still in limbo. that's because the u. s. is immigration system wasn't designed to handle thousands of emergency residency permit refugee applications and visas to those who worked with the u. s. military all at the same time. in order for any these 3 pathways to work, there needs to be

a plan to get people out and moving out. and, and that plan is going to need significant political backing by the administration . it to be the highest priority. otherwise it's not going to happen. must moaned, an american citizen for more than 10 years used his connections to help his brother escape during the final days of the u. s. military evacuation. now he's trying to bring his fiancee and his mother a former girl school principal to the us. she helped you with her, with women in afghanistan and logo province, the how the purity from check republic. she was the director of woman's affair, defended the, the democratic values that america was promoting there. the women have been living in a temporary shelter and cutter since april. no one can tell them when they can fly to the u us would mock mont has a message for the secretary of state. if i am that offer shall, and i tell you under process, we don't know if and when this is going to be done. how would you feel about it?
