8:02 pm
come on time i don't want to miss our i say are we out with. this is that very obvious that the citizens of this country are not allowed to this will be a summer here and the let's all presidents as well the posters of all. the police initially used tear gas to disperse the crowd while odinga wanted to use this occasion to denounce a vision he says was brought about by election rigging at noon he was cited an oath of office in a mock inauguration and pronounced himself the people's president. says today is a historical day in our country of kenya he said kenyans have decided to remove themselves from the dictatorship that came about through feldstein and. shortly after his speech disappeared kenya's attorney general has threatened to charge him with treason which could lead to capital punishment the government has denounced the opposition as a quote organized criminal group and despite international recognition of president
8:03 pm
who took his reelection amid love voter turnout he had three private broadcaster shut down to prevent a live transmission of a ceremony present upsetting the media for that person to ever have the right information center in the region but a good thing is that we have social media which are now using. very. big to get information out east was an instrumental role has been. the situation remained calm despite the turn of events in the kenyan capital over the past few months more than a ninety kenyans have been killed in election related disputes. for. correspondent catherine joins us from nairobi welcome catherine so the government has declared a kind is a position national resistance movement a criminal organization what effect will this have. well that has
8:04 pm
a great effect in the sense that the the national resistance movement is an arm of the national the super alliance so that prominent politicians who are in there who have declared that they are members of this national resistance movement so we could see a rest of these prominent politicians but then also it's very hard to determine who among the people of kenya who are not politicians and just supporters who is a member of the national resistance movements and now we could see the government going into surveillance you could see the government victimizing anybody who is critical of the government given the situation right now i mean if you see the crowds that came to who popped compared to the crowds that actually attended the inauguration of president who can ya it seems that right loading a does pose a big threat and the national resistance movement does that then now to differentiate who is a member of the national resistance movement and who isn't is going to be hard to tell now that the government has put a band and
8:05 pm
a ban on the media and shut down there are fears that this could be part of a plan to also start surveilling journalists and also you know try and follow and see what they're saying if they're critical of the government so it's up in the air in the sense that no one knows what this blanket statement actually means at this point why did so many thousands turned out to watch this mock you know gratian. well for them they feel that this is right loading is right and president last week the national not released results that said or suggested that tried loading got eight million votes in august during the aug eighth election and the president of good king actually got seven million votes and he won the vote by one million so according to these supports his they feel this is the right for president and they feel that if he is put as the people's president they are represented in the government or or represented in some form. and what is mr dean goes plum he
8:06 pm
declares himself the people's president war next. well it's difficult to tell but then he says that this is the beginning of electoral reforms the original plan was to get right loading and present kenyatta on the table to discuss possible ways of finding our own going into another election within three months but now that hasn't happened the nasa had always said that the swearing in was the last resort if the government did not open up to dialogue and now this is happened this shows that he has a great number of people and this shows that he kind of has some force and needs to be listened to so he hopes that this is the beginning of a discussion for electoral reforms in the future and why do this now the election was last october. in january was.
8:07 pm
well for him and for his supporters they feel that election didn't take place in october we had majority of the counties and constituencies only or below twenty percent voter turnout so not many people came out to vote when there was a boycott so many people in this election didn't really take place and we also saw the intimidation of the supreme court at the time and them actually passing this election and saying that a president who can yes he was badly elected so to a majority or to hof of kenyans. the election did take place and the process is not yet over. in nairobi thank you. yemen's prime minister is reported to be preparing to flee the country as a splits opens up between forces that previously backed him soldiers who'd been supporting the government of surround the preservation palace in aden ready to force the prime minister out the government has been backed by

made a major breakthrough in their efforts to form a new coalition government. conservatives on the center left social democrats have reached agreement on refugee family reunions refugees already in germany will be allowed to bring their families that join them but there will be a limit on the number who will be allowed to do so. later today u.s. president trump will deliver his first state of the union address laying out his government's agenda for the year so let's take a look at a couple of the key issues he's likely to address trade there it's america first a during his speech at the world economic forum in davos mr trump said the american economy remains his top priority the country was open for business but america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does the world. so immigration the future of the so called the
8:10 pm
dreamers will be the other key issue the president suggested that he is open to protecting the seven hundred thousand children of undocumented migrants who live in the u.s. illegally and we said the president wants senate to approve billions of dollars in border security funding let's get more from washington correspondent to kind of the morning. welcome back catalina tell us more about what we can expect from today's a state of the union address. hello philo was the focus of his speech will be on the growing economy on trade and on the white house immigration on infrastructure plans and he gratian is a quite important point since the discussions about the government budget where are we to get a peek next week because a new deadline for the government shutdown is the eighth of february the white house already released its immigration plan last week and the president is going to try to sell this plan that shields and a committee immigrants in return for his u.s.
8:11 pm
mexican border wall also the white house has been indicating the president will reach out with a bipartisan appeal which he really needs because this is the only way to run this country right now the president needs the support of both parties especially big items like immigration policies or his infrastructure plan so it would just stay with this idea of by talk shit this is a president who has polarized the country so we expect to see things in this address that will try to knit the country together. well donald trump knows that the country is completely violated and this is why he will try to use today's speech to highlight that his cuts in taxes for example and regulation have unleashed a new economic prosperity in this country this is how he is going to try and brings those two camps together the far right on the far left will also seek to gain
8:12 pm
recognition for achievements he believes have not been given enough credit besides economic donald trump will probably try to win support in congressman taining that he's rebuilding the u.s. military and restoring. an image of the united states of peace through strength in the world and briefly. what do americans want to hear from the president. this is a good question phil the save the union speech is the usually a guidance of for a policy agenda means for the congress and it's not a speech campaign speech and this is what congress for example is expecting from the president this is usually not the moment for a political campaign speech but at the same time the whole time knows he has to fight for the ones who don't support him and we also know he is kind of speeches
