our agenda, and our plan. we do not have been luxury to point fingers. we do not have the luxury to apportion blame. we must close ranks and walk together for a functioning democratic prop beth kane bar control was he surrounds his when surely before the result was announced, violence broke out at the national, tallying center in nairobi. election commissions deputy chairman and 3 other commissioners disowned the results. so in the process was 2 opaque and officials from roller. a dingus campaign alleged the commission system was hacked and the speak to mike where his life was in my rubia malcolm's. or what's the latest on

will that result that you just mention where william router, according to the chair, the actual commission, a one just over 50 percent of the votes cast, which means are he a there any one he wins over 50 percent of the votes cast is declared the winner in just one round. it doesn't go to a run off unless both of the candidates a failed to reach that threshold or absent from the proceedings. here was his main opponent rider, a dingo former prime minister, a long time opposition leader who in this election actually had the backing of outgoing president who kenyata and much of the historically dominant political establishment. he didn't turn up a route i was in there, riley wasn't here. and shortly before those results were announced, a rail as chief agent as stormed out of there and spoke to the press or just outside. let's hear what he had to say. how intelligent the

system was penetrated and hugged and that some of the officials admitted and some of them would be noticed that malcolm, if there is now to be a formal objection to this, what's the process well complain in 7 days after the announcement of the result to file a petition to the supreme court and this is what happened 5 years ago after the election result was declared, right? we're doing that time leading the correlation to the opposition challenge. the election results in court and the supreme court overturned it and of the result in order to re run said the major irregularities. and while it didn't go in and his coalition said that those, those irregularities weren't adequately addressed in time for the re run. so they didn't compete that rule outgoing president who kenyatta and his deputy william

router back into power without facing any made to challenge those polls. so we'll expect to hear in the next few days if ryder we're doing is in a coalition will indeed be submitting a petition for the high court. and then i call the supreme court. so you have 2 weeks after that to deliver a ruling. and then we'll find out if it is indeed going to uphold those results that were announced here just a couple hours ago. or i'm not convinced that malcolm reporting that from french troops have officially pulled out of marley, ending up putting an end to a 9 year long military operation. but connie force was created to fight on grossman's al region relations of worse. and since to military, coups and molly, in the past 2 years, and the failure of french forces to stop on go, you attacked. the french government says it's commitment to fight terrorism in this a whole remain strong. a quarter miramar has convicted ousted leader ang santucci in more corruption cases, adding 6 years to prison sentence,

the charges related to accusations that she was building a home with money from charitable donations. suji has already been convicted of other minor offenses. tony chang is falling 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's facing in total 19 cases for arranger of charges, including the ones to day for corruption or sewing in the court to day nap it. or they heard case. they have evidence in a case which has been brought against her for misuse of her estate helicopter. there have been cases about the misuse of walkie talkies. i 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 july, the senior general and 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 to day a, but i think today's charges are really shoak, that she, the military intention is to keep her out of the picture completely. a china has announced more life. i military exercises around taiwan saying it's ready to smash any foreign interference in his 1st warning coincided with a visit by a u. s. congressional delegation to the island with china claims as its own fight,

his advent. so on sunday, the foreman's re here invasion was also question about the visit earlier and spoke 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 by jing 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 . funerals had been held and gave the city in great the car for at least 41 people who died after a fire cop to christian church. on sunday. thousands of worshippers were tramped, causing stampede, and was rob has more. yeah. victims fire that killed dozens of people at

and perceived opponents all allegations. the taliban denies that didn't motivate them. covenant activities in some other areas, things a good were 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 of these together had increased the problems for the people of afghanistan. for those who left lives 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 5th, harrison and the threat of detention cut over the hump. 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 of java

forgive this people. i would beg them to return my father. i will do anything but get him back. it says that the ship ticket, but i would beg them to give back my dead. i would do anything to have him back a life ukrainian authorities, social media sites in the red cross have been flooded with inquiries about missing people. we're talking about several thousands of families who are still searching for their loved ones. we want to hear about their loved ones, know their whereabouts know their faith. since march, the red cross is central tracing bureau, his fielding calls from 24000 people looking for friends or relatives lost in ukraine. some were buried in numbered graves in boucher oxen, his hometown, some might be in russian captivity. others are simply missing with

a russian troops gone in a sense of normality returning. sometimes oksana says she just wants to forget it was not the plus. i don't want to believe that all of these 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 asana says, until her father is returned to her or found and buried. john henderson, al jazeera boucher ukraine. germany's environment minister has held talks with her polish counterparts about the mast dial for fish in the river, otto stiff helium care said the cause is still unknown. scientists have tested a 150 water samples, examined some of the dead fish, a suspect to poisonous toxin is responsible of yet to identify. the substance, you know, to run through germany and poland, dominate cane is in the bus on the banks of the 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 obvious talks in through the 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 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. well, let's be now to lena maria, mich le, who's coordinator of an international river protection project for friends of the germany. join this lie from ibisworld in germany. lena, mary, welcome to the program. this is a real mystery is now if you've seen anything like this before, i haven't seen anything like dis catrice for a phoebe foreigner. it has never in my life been such in a cure instinct as so many fish diet over such a short time. the missile investigations on really revealing much to the theory,

but at some kind of toxic input. what, what do you, the indications in your view? so they have been a menu speculation. so some said that there's a hot, very highest soil content done. and there were it's testing of mercury and says toxic substance. and also some people talked about a wave of 30 years, 30 centimeters with organic material em, but we are an environmental organisation say, or we think that there are different stresses or under fish that come together and that den da can be one factor causing such an extinction. so at the moment we have very high temperatures in germany and recording of a high egg rhodes f. unusual oxygen levers of very low water leveretts and,

and the fish are not used to these kind of conditions and germany. so if there's a poisoning, then this can be one factor too much, right? i was gonna say because must fish die of the a not unusual. no, not, not frequent by any means. we're not unusual in, it's usually caused by a lack of oxygen in the water, in the ongoing heat wave that we've seen across northern european could well make that happen. it could spell not alone, which is to say that it have to, they have to come together are different and indicators are different. stresses to the fish that then cause such a very we talk now of uh, several tons of fish and have been collected over several 100 kilometers and a river. if you have seen the images, it's really horrible. and a lot of people collecting these fish at the moment, and a lot of fear that it can go to the baltic sea and then also cause

a very high damaged air. and we actually now have this task force set up by the german and by the polish ministry. and am i hope that they will find out more? and i guess the fish, the dead future of the visual evidence. but what about the the river ecosystem itself? yes, so people who have seen pictures of, of bridge dead pick up to do birds to pick up to death. fish. so and we also feared a dead. there's a big impact on the whole ecosystem. and we're, for example, to have for a national park until an auditor which has ended order river and germany. and there's a very high a day were said to you of anamosa stir. and they also fear a lot the at this could cause a more damage to the animals as well. if pollution is found to be the source of the

problem of wondering what kind of safe gods are in place within the 2 countries, germany and, and poland to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening. as i said, step has been an attack for a task force set up on sunday, but there are also a lot of accusations that does or has not went fast enough. so the civil society has done a lot collecting search and also trying to investigate and fishers have collected a lot of fish to prevent them to go further. india, because system and yeah, it's been really been a very this year last week for all people living at river, lena, marine, which i will leave it there. but thanks very much indeed for trying to said shed some light on this mystery. lena murray, much now from friends in the us. germany, thank you. you're welcome. you k, it's become the 1st country to approve of cobra,

our families, the history was my great, i'm proud that my grand grandfather took that decision and when it comes leg of matter, what is the difference? i say, because the matter in a raj put again australia family bumper. so our culture in every thing is very similar. so it was not a big change for me. as part of the celebrations, the government is asking people to fly the tricolor celebrities have joined the campaign and trader saved the response, has been unprecedented. the flag was one of the major symbols of the independence movement. the government says it wants people to build personal connections with the tricolor to invoke patriotism. some manly see this as a way to redefine nationhood and it's violent past. i ask myself, is it the case that the flag is also representing to us? oh, a di know, for really living off that very dramatic violent dime. is it because that we are actually remembering and then the agen msm that was extremely divisive,

extremely violent. and the reason for partition could exceed religious tensions, have increased under no rains are moody, but on independence day, indians from all walks of life turned out to celebrate softening. but they'll al jazeera, you dunny ah, so this is our desert. these are the top stories and kenya is deputy president william router has been declared the winner of the country's presidential election . he received just over 50 percent of the votes, less than 2 percent ahead of his rival, former prime minister runner dingo reaches promising kenyans radical economic reform, gender equity and is calling for unity. i am a very proud canyon this evening that the people of k now have raised the bar on us.
