elections where fraud which is right is a sin was robbery is decreased instead of cultivating it's culture it's roots in language it brought forth the ripples of nationalism. the soviet union's heritage where does russia stand today and moscow's in our series starting november fifth on g.w. . this is you know we newsline from berlin on a knife's edge can use brace themselves ahead of the disputed presidential election re what opposition leader raila odinga calling on supporters to boycott the vote

opposition backers protesting after the supreme court threw out a petition to delay the poll where in kenya with the latest also coming up. a german human rights organizer goes on trial in turkey his case another flashpoint in an already strained relations between berlin and caracas. and the german president's hung kalter steinmeier says he wants better ties between berlin and moscow steinmeyer meets with president blatter me if you'd asked part of his visit to russia will ask a correspondent what kind of reception he received. thanks so much for your accompany apologies we're having some technical video we're challenges that we hope to resolve i'm layla iraq thank you for being with us we want to start off in kenya where the supreme court dismissed. a last minute

petition to delay thursday's highly cost. ninety days also said his opposition movement would be transformed into a resistance movement against the government opposition supporters been protesting in various cities around kenya where they've been calling for the vote to be postponed and just to remind you thursday's election is a rerun of polls nullified by the supreme court a month ago. and a sadly since then dozens have been killed in election related violence catherine one though joins me now from the kenyan capital of nairobi catherine the chief of the electoral commission says the vote is going ahead how did he justify this decision well he says operationally he can deliver an election but not necessarily a credible election but he can deliver election to an election on the twenty six

ballot papers have been taken to the various polling stations and we have returning offices ready and preparing for tomorrow's vote which he says starts at six am in the morning. today when he was making his statement you could see a very big difference from when he made a statement last week today he made his statement with fellow commissioners and this kind of showed a sense of unity a sense of reassurance that they can actually deliver this election he also was taken to task about the areas that will not participate in this particular election the peat where people have decided to boycott the election and he says that elections in those specific areas can be postponed to a later date or an encounter in a reverse short while ago heard also from the opposition leader. issue a very ominous warning saying and i'm quoting if there is no justice for their people that there be no peace for the government what does he mean by that.

well he basically says that this government is trying to install a dictatorship so he's calling on nasa supporters to resist this and who in fact he has dubbed the main opposition party as a resistance movement from now on experts prior to this day had warned that if an election does take place then divisions will become very evident from the twenty six and often especially between supporters of the opposition and supporters of the government so now we're seeing the divisions he says that his supporters should boycott any business that supports the regime so we're seeing this and that's what it means whether or not he's done this before so whether or not his supporters will actually heed to his call is yet to be seen but to morrow he says that people should stay away from polling stations which is good because then they won't be able to confront the policeman who will be there he's asked people to stay at home

and pray and they will fight for. another election within ninety days so what this means is that kenya still remains divided because his supporters will follow him and we're still waiting on what do you believe he will have to say on this and considering what you were just been reporting on have we heard from the incumbent president. well he's expected to make a statement in the about thirty minutes where he will tell kenyans or react to whatever right has said. people are saying there probably will be no surprises and he will continue to say that those who want to vote tomorrow should come out and vote and those who don't want to vote should stay away from polling stations and allow people to vote so that's what we're expecting to hear from the president in the past he has said that or he has ruled out dialogue with the main opposition

leader. and you can actually tell from the statement makes a statement and the president makes a statement after that this seems to be no way forward in terms of dialogue between the two leaders catherine if you if you can please set the scene for us we're on the eve of this scheduled a controversial vote what's the atmosphere like where you are it's very tense if you go to supermarkets right now you'll find them full of people trying to get last minute goods ahead of this particular election because this is seen as. almost a dead end some people see it's an. m a get in so people are stocking up and if you go to churches you're finding a lot of people in church praying the discussions between people is all politics and you can tell that it's very divided along ethnic lines that's the situation we have right now there are people who are calling for peace tomorrow so people just

do whatever you want to do peacefully but how that turns out will be very we'll have to see tomorrow catherine wander were reporting from nairobi kenya thank you. well turning now to turkey were a german human rights activists is standing trial in istanbul peter start in or was detained back in july during a meeting with other human rights activists is being accused of having links to terrorism and of having ties to the man allegedly behind last year's failed coup the islamic cleric fatah good. it's stumbles palace of justice as the trial began activists demonstrated for the release of german. and ten other defendants including the head of amnesty international in cherokee for holding a workshop the rights group says the charges are trumped up. shop in question is like those held around the world but here it's being treated like a gathering of conspirators and criminalized it shows just how much turkish law is

being instrumental ised. instrumentality at that. page and the other defendants were arrested in july show it was conducting a seminar in data security at the time turkish prosecutors allege that their actions aided the girl in movement and the kurdish p k k which are considered terror groups in turkey. and had been lecturing about encryption methods at the time of his arrest. if convicted he could face up to fifteen years in prison. if the indictment sounds like a collection of conspiracy theories. and his friends are not acquitted today that will further strain german turkish relations. to friend in. the german human rights commissioner along with german politicians are urging the immediate release of it now they say the move could help improve strained german

turkish relations. and he is covering trial proceedings at the supreme court and star ball dorian turkey alleges that peter has ties to fatah led good and a cleric who the turkish leadership blames for last year's failed coup what evidence was presented to support this claim. well there's really very little so far and that's why this case which is so controversial and drawn so much condemnation even before it starts prosecutors main case the story is that he attended this seminar where he was giving a lecture on cyber security for the prosecutors claim that that meeting was in fact a planned civil uprising against the president turkish. you've heard one following the same a conspiracy lined up was involved in last year's failed coup other than those prosecutors only other evidence has been publications by amnesty international and some tweets with one suggesting turn off your telephones and enjoy the ride to the

island where the seminars are than that there is between very little evidence and addressing the court made a very impassioned plea say the only evidence against him was fabricated and he should be released immediately. now some are calling you know have described relations between ancram berlin as having pledged to a new low with this case how serious is the rift especially considering that in addition to start ners there are ten other germans sitting in jail being accused of having ties to mr goh and i being used as political bargaining chips. well that is certainly the fear and the widespread belief certainly in berlin among human rights activists both here and abroad and in fact turkish president rhetoric increasingly indicate that is the case speaking to about a u.s. citizen being held here he made a plea to washington to u.-turn fettle a good man who lives in the u.s. and is blamed for the coup last year and will send the american system back to the u.s. so there is this suspicion and that is certainly fueling. now between bulger no longer

relations are in our president is low and the fact that people like slow. ten other germans currently held is only fueling these rising tensions between the two countries and the expectation is things will get a lot worse before they get better and dorian how worried are people in turkey about the direction of politics under mr i don't want. what it really depends who you speak to present heard one still enjoys a very large support within the country still by far the most popular politician and many of them to buy into this line that europe along with the u.s. are conspiring against turkey trying to remove him from power this plays into age old suspicions all foreign powers in turkey but among opponents they are alarmed that this is a rapid deterioration in relation to turkey's key allies and it has to be said even among president urged one supporters there do appear to be indications that there is a growing alarm at least among some sections and support for the president could be softening but at the moment this ongoing rivalry and tensions between turkey and

its allies is only fueling the the polarization within turkey. thank you for your continued coverage. and there we have some breaking news just coming in there right now rock n roll of pioneer fats domino has died at the age of eighty nine the rhythm and blues pianist from new orleans a sold over one hundred million records and helped change the face of popular music his dynamic performance style drew crowds for five decades and he was one of the first ten artists named to the rock n roll hall of fame has died at the age of eighty nine. all right we want to fill you in now on some of the other stories making headlines right now a german president. has told russian president vladimir putin that he is unhappy about the state of relations between germany and russia he made the remarks while on an official visit to the russian capital moscow steinmeyer took part in a reflating ceremony at the city's grave of the unknown soldier and met with human

rights activists he is the first german head of state to visit russia in seven years. and our correspondent emily sharon joins us now or from a moscow emily i believe we've heard from we've heard from steinmeyer and putin already. yeah the they came out of their meeting and they gave a brief statement it was just a working visit so they kept things pretty short ahead of the meeting told me in a couple of other journalists that he would discuss common ground with putin as well as not shying away from some of the more difficult topics he particularly mentioned russ's russia's human rights record and he also mentioned the conflict in ukraine in the east of ukraine and said that there needed to be solutions now they didn't mention in those statements after the meeting what they actually discussed

even though steinmeyer did say that they would they talked about solutions in crises so we can only guess that they did in fact talk about ukraine and that's all we know at the moment and really what kind of reception that the german president gets in moscow well the reception that the president got was rather warm putin invited him and the mood there was pretty positive there was this handover of evangelical lutheran church which is important to germany and which i had asked for as in his time as foreign minister that's a symbolic gesture that russia is open for dialogue and putin after the meeting kind of heaped praise on steinmeier he said that he's an expert in russian german bilateral relations and he. and he he that he was happy that that he dined meyer would keep the ball rolling in his current in his current role as

president steinmeyer was slightly reserved he talked about ending it strange meant but he also talked about keeping dialogue open. positive in terms of them on a positive the end of their biological talks on a positive note and we sure were reporting from moscow thank you. all right before i let you go i want to tell you about the birth of a black baby black or an all source and as you in the czech republic which is bursting hopes for the survival of this endangered species only a few hundred black rhinos are left in the wild in africa the cap was born at the beginning of this month but it doesn't have a name yet but they're going to i think so much russian speaking at the top of the hour.
