6:03 am
interesting to see how people expectation will be managed. 7, electro commissioner, sit on the board. 4 of them have raised questions about the integrity of the poll. they said they were dissatisfied by the exercise, but only the chair can declare the winner. we cannot take ownership of the results that is going to be a lot because of the opaque nature which this results have been handled. the factor 5 is made when things eat up. the new president, a lack spoke, striking a conciliatory call, saying he will walk with all canyons. i want to promise that i was with all the elected leaders and only doesn't care
6:04 am
so that we can fight on a country that leaves nobody behind. a dangerous ally see, the pawn was not free and fair. many canyons who support him are disappointed. one for verify them was we verify them, we will be able to know and to tell the can and people, because i result that is not very fable, is not a result. i think is next to me will be to head to the supreme court. he has 7 days to file his petition. katherine saw alta 0 nairobi. well, this is the 5th selection that riley dingle has contested and lost many of his supporters now say they won't accept william router was that president r matessa has more from consumer where protests broke out, as the result was announced. ah, as soon as william router was decayed, president elect routing to supporters in the struggle to soon reacted with anger. oh, they believed this election was stolen,
6:05 am
police fire to tear gas to dismiss them, not like that. so let me go on to the brother. the president with daniel i this was the 5th time bitch, an opposition. the though didn't, has run for the top job. and last, even though this time he had the backing of up going leader. who looking at people . yeah. in with residents with him. i want you to know on the campaign trail, i think a promise to help king and struggling against the rising cost of living, as well as tackling corruption and foreign debt. it was a tightly contested election, and some parts of the country are tense. with the little commission split and the results likely to be challenged in court. exactly. what will happen next?
6:06 am
here among a dig, a supporters remains unclear. had him toss algebra, kiss human king william router, thanks. his major challenge is, is he prepared to take over the presidency among them rising inflation, unemployment, and record high levels of public debt. kenya's tourism sector was particularly hard hit by the pandemic. both william root ho and his defeated opponent, rider dingo promise to tackle widespread corruption. but critics say their rules in previous scandal hit governments cast doubt on those pledges. on top of that, a prolonged drought is increased. the risk of people going hungry, some of the poorest and kenya could only afford one leila day. have the summit as a member of the african academy of sciences and a professor at the university of minnesota. he says election commissioners willing to settle their dispute to avoid further violence. they suggest that more than half of them are not satisfied with the way things have developed and have been counted . and, and so that's why the supreme court will come into this,
6:07 am
how that would be really anybody, but both of the men and the person who's confessing to being both of them said that they would abide by the rule of the law. so the supreme court has a crucial role to play and the safety of their country depends on the few people who are in the court, i think was kenyans sort of been in a total processes from the killing step 2000. and then after, so most people i've never had it, i was, i wrote it just a few weeks ago. and most people told me that the dad was interested in buttons from that. they want to get to the bottom of the truth here. i think what this election suggests is not only does the countries explain what i mean, we're still doing a has one in mind conference with the 2 other countries. kenyans used to be kind of over the last 2010 election that took place in spend that's almost 20 years.
6:08 am
that has been the uncertainty country and the people have come through. that's what i must be thinking about. the pressure that promotional community, particularly within the united states and others, are putting on the lead on. i think andrew, to such that there may be a compromise that might be worked out. but ordinary people have seen this, and i'm pretty certain that the kind of ma'am we saw and the years will not take place here. but us state departments as iran must abandon, demands are called unacceptable, and talks revive the embattled 2015 nuclear deal. sharon says, an agreement could be reached in the coming days if certain issues are resolved. reports say one of those is removing iran revolutionary guards of a u. s. terrorism list. we'd been clear about what a return to mutual compliance with the g p a would look like. there are issues that the iranians have put on the table that are clearly extraneous to the 4 corners of
6:09 am
the jcp away. every time they have done that, we have made very clear that the jcp away is about one thing. and one thing only about iran's nuclear program, and we're prepared to negotiate one thing and one moment. well, well, powers have been trying to salvage the iran nuclear deal, known as the j. c. p. o, a iran sign, the agreement back in 2015. it was designed to limit turnarounds, nuclear ambitions, and exchange for functions relief. but in may 2018 then president donald trump withdrew the u. s. and began re imposing sanctions. a year later, iran started bradley ramping up its nuclear program. it reduced access to monitors from the us nuclear watchdog, increasing tensions with the us stop stop negotiations resumed in april last year under the biden administration. and the european union put forward what it called a final text urging all sides to finalize the deal. well gary, some more is from brandy's university. he says if the current draft agreement fails,
6:10 am
the us would likely increase its demoss. unfortunately, it appears to me that iran is not willing to. ready accept the text that the e u has put forward. as far as i can tell from the rest reporting it, ron has attached some additional conditions and demands that it wants to be met. and if the iran is not prepared to accept the e u text, i imagine us, we'll probably also have some changes that would like to say, has iran has raised 3 separate issues, which the u. s. considers to be extraneous to the text. first iran, what sanctions lifted on the i r g c or companies associated with the i r g c. second, iraq want some guarantees that even after the president biden leaves, the white house you, westfield continued to honor the agreement. and 31 once the i e,
6:11 am
investigation in to pass nuclear activities to the end. and as i said, the u. s. considers each agrees to be extraneous to the agreement and is not prepared to accept any of. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c p. away. i think it's in your rods interest as well. so i don't quite understand why supreme leader hon luke continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics, or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a iran enriched uranium, even if it costs iran. tremendous loss of opportunity in terms of oil revenues for you and says it can support a visit by the international atomic energy agency to ukraine's upper region nuclear power plant. if both russia and ukraine agree, moscow and key, because each other shilling the plant which russia seized control of in march, some foreign leaders of call for it to be returned to ukraine. while the u. n. has
6:12 am
demanded that nuclear inspectors bailout access the past few days they've been, they've been repeated comments by various russian officials accusing the united nations secretary of having either canceled or blocked visit by the international atomic energy agency to the shopper it's a nuclear power plant. the i e, a is a specialized agency that acts in full independence in deciding how to implement it specific mandate in close contact with the i. e a u n. secretary has a says that he has in ukraine, the logistics and security capacity to be able to support any 8 e, a mission to the shop or read. so nuclear power plant from keith should of course, the ukranian and russian authorities agree lot more. so to come here now does air including high tension in the taiwan straits,
