right information center and it was just another good thing is that you have social media which are not yours and there is a. big to get information audience was mainstream media has been compromised it remains a coward you w a news correspondent catherine m wanderer joins us now from the kenya from the kenyan capital nairobi or kara catherine not relitigate the cars themselves the people's president now what's his plan well he says that this is the beginning of election reforms from here they're going to start consultations meetings on how to get electoral justice and how to probably get another election but also this is probably proof that he has the numbers in terms of people if you compare this market inauguration to the inauguration of president hu kenyatta you can tell the difference in times in terms of the population that was that presence to witness this particular event so he's probably using that as
7:05 pm
leverage to move forward and push for electoral reforms i cast in the government declared kenya's opposition national resistance movement a criminal organization what effect will this have on them. well this means that maybe the those who have outright declared that them members of the resistance could we could see the arrests of those people that means strong people who are close to right loading who have you know they support him and they say they're part of the resistance but then we could also see the victimize ation of those who are critical to the government because this leaves the loophole according to the law anyone found in an illegal criminal group has can face a jail term of ten years or a fine of five thousand dollars or even both so we could see that demise ation of those who are critical of the government as you've seen the media has been shut
7:06 pm
down so anything is possible but we could also see the arrests of those close to raila odinga who had who claim to be. members of the resistance let's talk a little bit about them who are these people who turned out to participate in that rather dangerous market on. well these are nasa supporters and they come from various strongholds this is in western kenya coastal and north in kenya although not all everyone came to nairobi but this is the stronghold and these are people who say that them members of the resistance in the end save one to resist the government in any way that they can whether that it's through boycott to whether it's civil disobedience so the these are people that could be arrested you could see surveillance on on on journalists who are critical of the government and also the you know close people like the person who swore him in. who is you know outright political he was running for the governor of nairobi and he's a he's
7:07 pm
a strong politician here in kenya we could see the rest of him we could see his arrest over the last couple of months we did see intimidation against people like david who is a strategist for the national alliance so we could see more facts coming forward all right captain is this likely to play out peacefully. it's hard to tell because now it's everyone is choosing which president to follow whether it's president hu hu can ya or the people's president. right now there is negative peace in the sense that there is a half of the country that feels that you know that needs are not being met integration in terms of the tribes because that two tribes that have support that supports the ruling party and the rest of the tribe seem to be moving towards right so you could say socially. they could they could disagree all right catherine want

7:11 pm
now. all right now sir there seems to have been a split within the coalition led bow led by saudi arabia we're no longer talking about the saudi coalition confronting who that are backed by iran what does this now mean this this new developing situation in yemen as a whole. yeah assume believe it means. that it turned to now to our proxy war between saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and this of course it did not happen this week or this month it was similar in so very beginning when saudi and if you have united arab emirates and. south of yemen
7:12 pm
so it means that now that the thirtieth of saudi arabia. is zero now in south of yemen and this is what does it means. only this morning when they declare their victory yes then you shouldn't do that this coalition as their friends but what is happening on the ground. clearly indicates clearly that a third to eat off saudi arabia is zero now you know most. people who. are saudi arabia. who are that islamist isn't understood by particular. zero in this city where you are right now set out to be reporting from sinai yemen

7:14 pm
britain. but first in the u.s. the future of the u.s. health care reform remains unclear and in the meantime or corporate giants are stepping into the vacuum essentially what we're talking about later is the biggest push for quality and affordable health care in the united states that's from the online retailer amazon warren buffett's berkshire hathaway and j.p. morgan chase their teaming up to offer their u.s. employees quality health care quote at a reasonable cost well the three c.e.o.'s said the new company will be independent and free from profit making incentives initial focus would be on technology that provides simplified high quality and transparent cad shay's and health care companies took a big caves in the trading on the new york stock exchange hinting at the threats the new entity poses to existing health care structures in the united states. well financial correspondent yes court is
7:15 pm
a new york for us tracking that story at cannes but the future of the u.s. health care reform unclear is this a case of business is seizing on an opportunity or is it a bit a sense that something is lacking. well probably both but it's a very interesting story first of all the american healthcare system is probably the most expensive in the world some americans are roughly spending three and a half billion dollars per year on health stats roughly twenty percent of total g.d.p. and if you look at the history of health care in the united states the health care system is much more privatized here than it is in europe it started basically also after world war two there was a lack of workers and to a direct those workers companies started to offer pension plans but also called bridge health care plans and right now we are in a similar situation because we almost have full employment and that could be an
7:16 pm
incentive for talents for good skilled workers to join those corporations right yes but what does this then mean for the broader health care industry. there is a lot of pressure building out for their health care industry and there are plans that hospitals for example thinking about to manufacture some of the medications send cell so we have amazon who is thinking about going into the drug store business and now we have this development where those three companies that try to offer cheaper health care or some formal fields insurance we don't have all the details yet to their workers and that means a lot of pressure for pharmaceutical companies for health insurers and also for drug stores and therefore you see heavy pressure on those stocks as you mentioned earlier all right stay with us yes because i want to get your thoughts on another big a story playing out on the markets right now u.s. stocks trading shop below at this hour forwarding for
7:17 pm
a second day which means the now the lowest level in two months we've got the dow jones industrial average losing three hundred twenty seven points in a frenzied sell off its biggest single day loss since may of last year the pressure on the global bond market one faction behind that slice health insurers and drug makers also contributing off the back all of the news that j.p. morgan chase amazon embouchure her way a launching that new health care venture plus there's that decline in energy shows that we're seeing as well at the moment amid on going evidence of rising u.s. crude out but. straight back over to yens then on wall street yes what is it out of all those factors that got invest is the most frightful right now. well i mean the market has been on a run for quite some time and it is richly priced and investors were waiting for quite a quite some time for some trigger to actually sell shares or to have some form of
7:18 pm
correction so that actually might be it and it's the second consecutive day that we do see pressure on the market as of right now blue chips was in those two days are down to five hundred and fifty points but it probably really started it was the bond market yields are approaching or getting towards three percent and rates are increasing meaning that there is an alternative now to stocks and then what we also shouldn't forget is a lot of the growth that we saw on a corporate level on a private level and also on a federal level it was bought was debt and now was rates increasing that becomes more expensive so it's nothing dramatic yet but certainly i mean there is some sell of going on at this moment probably leery siding with pressure from the bond market and you'll be monitoring it very closely for us yes go to all wall street thank you well plenty more business coming away including how close we're coming to a u.s. china trade war in light of recent terrorist first back to later for
7:19 pm
a look at how close germany is coming to forming a government or not later we're not promising anything but here in germany the country's two main political groups have made a major breakthrough on their efforts to form a new government chance on the americal skin service and the center left social democrats have reached an agreement on refugee family reunions it's been a sticking point between the parties during their negotiations were few ts already in germany will be allowed to bring their families to join them but there will be a limit on how many can do so to be news met one man who hopes his wife will be allowed to join him from syria cousin hasn't seen his wife since he arrived to berlin to doff years ago. he came to germany with three of his brothers cousins wife who is alone eleven and has requested entry to germany on the grounds of family reunification she hasn't yet had a response. i hope my wife can come here
7:20 pm
says knowing that he's one of many refugees hoping to reunite with their families. for him and many others of bringing relatives here are though the german government says refugees of a civil war i expected to return home at some point and already abolished the right of family reunion for most refugees two years ago. people need to be with their families we have to look at this situation from a humanitarian perspective it's not right for people to be separated from their spouses and children for years at a time this is a humanitarian issue and family reunification has been one of the main conflict points during coalition talks the conservative parties fear that too many refugees are coming to germany now they have agreed with the social democrats to allow small number of refugees to unite but their families there will be a new law and summer negotiators announced. wasn't more not we have agreed on month
7:21 pm
thousand people per month we've also breed on the possibility of allowing people in for humanitarian reasons in cases of hardship especially where children are involved the new law could make family reunification possible again. whether this law will help her son and his wife remains uncertain in any case he's convinced that returning to syria is not an option there's nothing left for him to do but wait for the authorities to decide and keep in touch with his wife every day via the internet. or did over use their pots so has been following these negotiations for us ever since they started showing both major parties are calling this deal a win does it have its critics. yeah it certainly has its critics and i'd rather say it's progress and not a breakthrough even though the parties are calling this a breakthrough this issue of family reunification is really has been heatedly
7:22 pm
discussed ever since the so-called refugee crisis of twenty fifteen and it is a rather symbolic question about how many refugees and migrants should be allowed into germany and so an agreement was reached but the interpretation of that agreement is very different and differs from party to party the social democrats for example saying this is better than nothing a thousand family members are allowed to reunite with their family members who are already in germany and also cases of hardship though critics are saying those cases of hardship might not be more than ten months so a very minor number and the conservatives say interpret in that and a whole different way they are saying well we've limited family reunification for those refugees that fall under the status once and for all we've limited migration in germany and that is a good thing so a two very different points of interpretation the losers so critics are saying the
7:23 pm
refugees that are waiting and hoping for their families for it to reunite with their families here in germany and we've heard from human rights organizations today calling this agreement all of the two parties in these coalition talks really a human need terry and contester feel all right well now that it seems that this hot button issue has been resolved are we any closer to seeing a new government in berlin. yes that close said though i think this was not a make or break topic there are domestic issues left such as health care and employment that will be much more decisive in the week to come though both parties saying they want to come to a conclusion until the sunday and till the end of the week and they want to come to a positive conclusion but the fact that both parties interpreted this breakthrough today in such a different matter leaves room that there will be it will be tough for the rest of the week let's say that pos reporting thank you.
7:24 pm
in india millions of people have been remembering that death seventy years ago today of mahatma gandhi he is revered as the father of the nation for leading the struggle for independence from britain and he was assassinated by hindu nationalists while today there are concerns that the same nationalism is resurgent eroding gandhi's vision of an india were all religious communities with live in peace. huge portraits and statues of gandhi can be found at the capital one he was a modest man moreas to him and a thing boss. his face also graces every bank knows he's a great politician and everything he is everything for us he's everything for us to do a good action with dignity and people will not always resort to violence that is what he told us there's already too much conflict in the world. in the garden of the

from good nneka to hiroshima starting february third on t.w. . good to see you again you're watching the news on layla herat army stories right now. kenya's opposition leader raila odinga has staged a mock inauguration in the capital nairobi this symbolic ceremony challenge president kenyatta us government which has reacted by outlining a dingo's national resistance movement. ireland will hold a referendum on reforming the country's near total ban on abortion the country currently has one of the world's strictest abortion laws prime minister leo for a car says he will be campaigning to change the legislation as an irish parliamentary committee recently recommended allowing abortion up to twelve weeks
7:31 pm
into a pregnancy polls suggest a majority of voters are in favor of reform book all right well for more on this i want to bring in now social media editor liz show she has been following this story for us online liz this is without doubt a very polarizing issue how has this announcement gone down with the irish people. well it is a very emotional topic the whole issue of abortions it is something that is very personal almost everybody has an opinion about this so we are seeing that division among the irish also being reflected on the social media we have the pro-abortion campaigners for example using the hash tag repeal of the eighth a saying they will vote to repeal the eighth amendment of the irish constitution which gives rights to be unborn child and these are just some of the reasons they are giving a for saying that they will want to the laws of the country to be changed here is
7:32 pm
a doctor for example if he says today as a doctor i now feel confident we will be able to soon offer women full and appropriate reproductive health care in ireland and we also have of course of the voices of the pro-life campaign is here is for example tanya she is a mother of four she says it's sickening that we are debating on whether or not to strip the protection of the right to life from a tiny babies no one has the right to devalue a whole category of human beings women need better maternity services about abortion is not the answer so we really see both camps taking to social media to bring forward their best arguments for it but the fact remains of course that many irish women are having abortions despite the current ban that some place tell us how they've been going about it. you know it's very true and they are actually
7:33 pm
being very open about it talking about it on a line they have to travel abroad to the u.k. for example and one lady was shared this story her name is china age she says she was fifteen when she got pregnant she wanted therefore to have an abortion she asked the father of the child whether he can support a financially he disagreed and that is why she had to turn to her parents and they then had to make sure that she gets to the u.k. to have that abortion so this is the story that she shares on line has by the time i made it to the u.k. i was thirteen weeks pregnant my parents didn't have the money to pay for this and i had no access to money from the bank so my mom took out a loan from a high interest a finance company in the company called door every saturday morning for two years to collect the repayment i felt guilty each week seeing that lady called for the quote abortion money and the financial stress i put on that family and they were
7:34 pm
seeing other women talking about that they were told that they were their babies were fatally ill so they would die just a few moments maybe after being born that is why they decided to make that it's a difficult decision and have an abortion others talk about how they are ordering abortion pills online so these are the ways that women are getting to have an abortion in ireland and they are hoping that the rules will change very harrowing stories their list thank you so much and i want to bring in now due to the news reporter jennifer calling collins she's here with me we've just heard some of the harrowing examples that liz just outlined for us has there been a groundswell because of support i don't know because of these extreme examples that we've just heard listen. previously i wouldn't raise about this issue it was a lot of shame about it but the online. has really brought it to the fore women who
7:35 pm
are so. they can about their experiences they would have shared those experiences with members of parliament at the presidential commission. when the government was considering bringing this issue to a referendum it's definitely pirate of the issue and i think the doctor and was quoted in a tweet there and she kind of echoed the sentiments about of the doctors who would've testified to that parliamentary committee too about their hands being tight in cases of. where women are presenting and for instance the case of. the indian doctor who presented with septic miscarriage and was denied an abortion early on in the process and subsequently died of complications from that miscarriage so all of that has really led to this momentum that we're seeing so women's health really front and center during this effort to legalize or to decriminalize the whole abortion thing the government is committing to holding this public vote put this into context for us how historic is this this is usually
7:36 pm
historic i would say it's probably one of the last vestiges of coffee church influence in arlon this kind of one of the death throes of of the influence of the church on the station and the government itself when we think about the constitution is actually introduced by a public referendum in one thousand nine hundred three it was put to a public vote and sixty seven percent of people vote in favor of this and we're at a situation now where it might be repealed and the majority of people might vote thus how much of attitudes changed in ireland i would say also significant changes across generations particularly because of the shock that the catholic church underwent in the one nine hundred ninety s. with the various scandals child abuse scandals and so on people have really turned away from the church. the numbers of people going to mass and there are not enough priests nor and very few people are taking vocations and. that kind of influence is
7:37 pm
gone and i was sure of what you change even for politicians like leo rucker. the leader of our the prime minister he himself has that is a pain has evolved on the issue he was initially pro-life and now he has said he will come in for repeal of the eighth amendment thank you so much jennifer collins thank you. now the u.s. president will deliver his first state of the union address later in which he is expected to promote his america first policy in just last week he made good on the promise when it came to his trade policy slapping tariffs on solar cells made by chinese companies but now americans doing business in china say that move could backfire. solar panel producers of the u.s. and europe have long complained of unfair johnnie's competition so it should have come as no surprise when u.s.
7:38 pm
president trump targeted important for voltaic products when he imposed his very first import tariffs. i have taken action to oppose safeguard terrorists or aborted residential washing machines at all solar products my administration is committed to defending american companies and they've been very badly hurt. so thirty percent tariffs were lower than us producers had been calling for but now u.s. business but i'm trying to warn that beijing is set to strike back. if that does go forward. or i have been told by certain officials that yes definitely there will be retaliation and they say there is little understanding in china for the u.s. position beijing believes the americans simply want to undercut their competitive advantage. one of the difficulties that members find
7:39 pm
in that we find in terms of meetings with the chinese come to an interlocutor chinese government officials and others. is a. willingness to acknowledge that the air market is less open than ours to begin with. and with washington preparing to announce the results of an investigation into whether trying to pressure is companies to hand over technology there could be trouble ahead when it comes to dealing with china. where china is fast becoming a catch the society payments by a small phone are threatening to undermine the government's efforts to control the money supply and regulate prices beijing now setting an upward limit for each small phone transaction in the hope of regaining the upper hand over false moving into that company's. she only pays in cash when requested.
7:40 pm
here i found a coin but that's it. she hasn't paid with cash for a year when she goes shopping the cashier just scans a barcode on her cell phone to deduct the amount automatically. chinese internet companies have made this possible we chat is the most popular social media app and a market leader in mobile payment. switch it up with innovations worldwide are making the internet faster but on mobile payments we're leading the way that's something we're really proud of. with its payment function we chat is trying to position itself as an app for every situation but the company is facing a setback china's central bank is wary of mobile phone payments and has announced plans to limit smartphone transactions to seventy euro's. how and when that will go into effect is still unclear. if there are problems we'll be able to
7:41 pm
protect our customers we've all gotten used to paying on the go when we're shopping eating out or singing car ok. that'll continue to be available for our customers. whether with online retailers in supermarkets or at the corner green grocer china saw transactions of an estimated seven point five trillion euros last year. that's twice the amount of germany's economic output. so. eighty percent of my customers pay with their smartphones of the oil. we chad and competitor ali pay likely have more customer data than any other company in the world oh. there you are you then of course there are also disadvantages. i think a lot of people are worried about their personal information being collected and analyzed. how come so even if still for most people it's
7:42 pm
become their way of life your agenda. she's a bit worried about the central banks plans but in the worst case scenario she'll just use her bank card. was vaccinated now for later isn't jaw dropping story but really with potentially serious health consequences absolutely well it's got to authorities here are worried and they're telling people keep taking your medication and follow your doctors advise that's what german health officials were telling people when a ukrainian evangelist vladimir. a paid a visit to berlin recently. says he can heal anything from cancer to blindness he w.'s nikolay went out to find more. my. this is the man they'd all come to see in the flesh self-styled apostles led him in one town and the prolific on social media and cable t.v.
7:43 pm
this was the ukrainians first personal appearance in the german capital just. time destroying the curse of cancer of on cullen g.'s. s. gone yes. but it's not just cancer that claims to be able to heal. there was a problem exactly here. the problem is now gone. the holy ghost has taken it away. your heart is completely healed. it's a claim that draws in the crowds to these crusades as the service is unknown just how it is made lunch on a celebrity in ukraine but it also raises questions to munch on followers give up on conventional medicine and who pays for these immaculately choreographed events.
7:44 pm
back in the ukrainian capital the country's orthodox churches and their arcane rituals are losing ground fast to the times. john's church known as regeneration center with its modern social media operation and cable t.v. network is one of those filling that gap. to . touch on a spent ten years as a member of one town's regeneration center by the time she left she was working as a live in assistant for the montel family her own family first joined the church when her sister became seriously ill they credited the church with her recovery. people always want some kind of miracle something extraordinary i was a member of regeneration for a long time and sometimes they'd bring the same person onto the stage more than once they'd pray for them and the person would fall to the ground that would go on wake up to wake yes. but the promise of healing comes at
7:45 pm
a price. that they convince people they need to donate a minimum amount each month but to really get god's blessing they're told to give more and more each month should. touch on a tells us of congregation members going heavily into debt to donate to the church of a culture in which spiritual growth meant paying for expensive courses and retreats . the nerve center of men chance church and media empire is located in this vast industrial units in kiev a place to tell and spend a lot of time. but eventually she became disillusioned by the incessant financial demands what she says was the excessive focus on the church's founder. in the worst letters and i think there's a cult of personality around a lot of me in munchen it regeneration it's all about serving him everyone values to him it's not about god anymore it's all about even though he's even shocked
7:46 pm

of the security flaw and here's what he had to say about how easy it is to manipulate the sample bottles. it was a very very easy read two steps a first step we want to check if sample bottles i talk about some proposals from two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and seventeen are easy to falsify that means to copy that worked we succeeded to do that by then finally so it was very easy to manipulate the process even with that method but then danger we said ok let's try to see if it works a different way because we have received information from secret informants said to seize a new generation of wattles is. possible to open and exactly that we did it instant seventy two hours put them into french and after seventy two hours according to them and to the information received from and from a secret source it was able easily able to open them without any other big problem

. removers drug use is going to be. these are pictures of the movie black berry the latest in a bull and a long line of blockbuster successes for marvel studios monday night saw the world premiere in los angeles and expect the shows are sky high for its release in mid february to our very own turned home study is here with me on the set are already declared it a blockbuster i don't know yet but by the looks of it it has all the ingredients. ingredients and it's obviously it's time to be a record record breaker already the advance ticket sales blew away all the records of all the prepared to all the previous marvel films so so that's saying something and by all reports it is quite possibly on track for a record breaking opening weekend that will be mid february as you said and it will

most definitely probably compete with you know marvel blockbusters for instance like spider-man the homecoming yeah for instance this is just another another superhero movie this is i think something more than just a superhero superhero film and you know a lot of people been waiting for the black panthers return since he first appeared in two thousand and sixteen and captain america civil war this film carries on from that story and this time of is the with the black superhero in heading the bill so it's marvel's actually very first film with. an actor of color in the lead role and that is chadwick boseman who plays child also known as black panther and he's going to mazing cast also playing alongside him it has to be said names like michael b. jordan order and peter go also angela bassett and forest whitaker in there so let's perhaps have a look at the visuals first and then we can talk a bit more about the about the film and its significance.

after the death of his father china returns home to the african nation of what condi. to take his rightful place as king. black panther is not only a visual feast but a superhero film that offers depth and schumann storytelling it is also in more ways than one. child there is an african superhero movie ever so. i mean in the ilk of like james one of this world i'm not kind of lame so i was excited to be to see what happens next. with black panther marvel cinematic universe expands in a new way wolf i think. what happens now determines what happens to the rest of the what is this could be a shift in popular culture and i think you know. that something like marvel has
7:52 pm
a way of like really affecting popular culture at. the systems like. so it is not a movie it's a movement you know and that's i think very true you know it's exactly cutting what across everything that we've previously seen because you know what we think is entertainment so i think in this one is responsible for that man is rising star filmmaker ryan coogler well you know you try keep. trying to keep it. to the bigger picture stuff out of it especially cares you go work on my new show the details you know she don't get distracted. in a pressure so that's what tried to do every day they're not big about. you not that not not big about what i mean. you know more than just just just you begin to feel your share of the best from the good out most honest from you could go from there. with black panther tracking for a record breaking to view where the film does go from here is anyone's guess.
7:53 pm
you can see an awful lot of optimism there that really a feeling from the cast of selves that this is new territory and it's going to a great soundtrack of. our own there so this could be potentially a turning point because you know after last year's oscars so white. is hollywood making up for its lack of diversity is this this attempt you know that's a very interesting question because for instance black panther was the first black . marvel comics superhero but not the first one to make his way on to film luke cage for instance we can have a look at here is a netflix series from twenty sixteen that's based on another marvel comics here from one nine hundred seventy two he was one that was created at the height of you'll remember the blaxploitation back in the early seventy's that's all a lot of actors of color into sort of more focused than starring roles in film and television. nother key figure of that genre was.

john shaft and he detected that from one nine hundred seventy one. became school are. really. very well known and you know i think we are seeing a shakedown of sorts but hollywood's been in the throes of a paradigm change in terms of representation for the past couple of years where the entire engines are increasingly the creative engines are increasingly are americans if you can hear from director barry jenkins that won best film just last year or get out for instance by jordan jordan peele and starring daniel who's in black panther as well but he's also nominated for best actor this year and my bounds from the female director. also has four nominations so. to get back to the incredible hype around this film i think we can also understand it as. in terms of how it's perceived in the quote in the current context of american politics that people perhaps also want to perceive it as an answer to the rise and literally the
7:55 pm
sanctioning of racist speech and. behavior that's happening under under the trumpet ministrations so perhaps most definitely the ground is ripe for this kind of film at the moment and it's got all the hallmarks of a great film i think it's going to be something of an event kind of the way we saw wonder woman you know take a kind of a backseat hero character but i'm certainly interesting is that hollywood seems to take on all these issues where. regular mainstream politics is just leaving those aside those main issues like the me too and now having this movie coming out as well exactly it's a it's absolutely amazing the kind of walls that that that we come up against and i mean culture is there obviously there was a question yesterday about can we separate art from politics politics for our attempt is politics coming in to ruin things like for instance the grammys absolutely not because how can you create art without reacting all right thanks going so very much care how start for that greatly appreciated that does that for
