good abuse, felix marina is following events in the kenyan capital and i robi felix, even as the results were announced, scuffles broke out at the election commission. is this set the tone for the coming days? good morning. so whatever happened, yes, that day does not set that torn for the next coming days. but as you've rightfully said, a scuffle, it's broke. the country is on is on there is, is, and i divided part because up to over 6800000 people who voted for a low, i 6900000, rather people who voted for a loud inc. i feel aggravated by that is all that was released yesterday. but on the other hand, the 7100000 people who voted for william rudolph, i in a celebratory mood. but we hide yesterday, william router, see that his government will be a government for all. and as much as he has promised to run address, parent ag government. some of the electoral commission and commissioners said that

the process that brought him to office was i love pick process and they will be giving evidence in the course of days. but something that will be happening later, today's that as the meal leader, a loading i will be giving an address and that will determine the next course of action for the air, for the country in there in the coming days. now in his 1st speech, the president elect promised to work with the opposition, the questions, will the opposition work with him and what are his key priorities? so on whether the position will lock with him or not. again that's, that's where that's a case of wait and see because it's dependent on their position to decide whether they'd want to walk with him or disapprove of his presidency. but some of the key priorities in the country right now is the high cost of living canyons. once that i know that president

a router has come to office that he can look at the cost of living, which has air force, many of kennels air, to sleep. when empty stomachs again, these very high unemployment among the young people and young people are hoping that william router can be i, that bullet, that changes their whole dynamics. something else that can, it has been grappling with is high debt. and that has a threatened at the public offices. so kenyans also hoping that with william rooters presidency, he promised during his campaigns that he will stop digging. he will stop taking further debt and he will air bringing mechanisms to ensure that kenya was not going farther down into the debt by then. and so kenneth will begin to see how he handles the debt by then felix wang, they're reporting from my robot. thank you. felix that's how a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. for new york, mayor rudy giuliani has been told he is a key figure in an investigation. whether you are state of georgia into the 2020

to inspect the apparition, nuclear power plant in ukraine cannot travel through the capital. keith, because it is caught too dangerous. there are growing concerns over the safety of the react after repeated shelling, russia and ukraine, blame each other for the bombardment a summer of record breaking heat is drying up rivers. across europe, the round half of the continent is facing an unprecedented drought. now, shipping companies in germany are preparing for the worst as water levels on the river, ryan dropped a critical levels for to say many vessels will be unable to navigate the key shipping route. if levels drop much further, scientists won't that climate change means piers of extreme heat and drought will become more frequent. d w samantha baker is at the banks of the rhine river and the german city of cologne. samantha, what are the water levels looking like where you are right now,

while the water levels here are extremely low, you can see across the river, the high water mark where they can reach up to. but they are nearing record. lowes here in cologne. are set to possibly break the 2018 record low so, so the water is really coming down here and this is a major problem for ships trying to move up and down the ryan at now. shipping it, it moves, most of germany's goods are up and down this river. and when the water is below one and a half meters, those ships cannot move. and that is the case in some parts of the river right now . so ships are having to offload cargo down to 25 percent even of what they were meant to carry. and this is leading to delays and shipping, and that's leading to higher costs. and unfortunately, forecast right now for this water coming up at all,

i don't look likely in the near future. now, normally the water levels only begin to sink around this time of year. what has caused the river to dry up to this extent already now? well, we've had very little rain in recent weeks and prolonged periods of high temperatures . and so this has led to the water levels dropping. as you said, usually the high point comes in october, actually. so we're not anywhere near the end of this season. and climate change is certainly making droughts like this, worse. it's making them more intense, both in terms of frequency and severity. and we can see that here in how quickly this river has dropped. and it's happening in other rivers across europe as well from the war in france to the po in italy, the danube. we're seeing it across the continent right now. that not only our water levels are low,

but the river water is also warmer. how does that impact the rivers ecosystem? yes, i mean that can impact species living in the rivers are fish plant species as well. that that certainly has an impact on the ecosystems with in this river. and that's not good. not only for the ecosystems fishermen who used the river and so it, it has knock on effects as well. now, authorities that say that shipping on the river might soon come to a standstill. what would that, what impact would that have? yes, that will certainly have an impact on a business back in 2018. that was the last time we hit a record low and, and shipping had to close actually, or, or not be moving up and down the ryan and not led to a point for

a drop in gdp. this year there's estimates that it could be as high as a one percent drop in g d p. if that is forced to close so early in the season. and so that will have to be seen with if the river drops to low, that ships can't move at all anymore. now, as you've mentioned, several rivers across europe are suffering from the ongoing drought. how is this being linked by scientists to climate change? yes. well, climate change is making these droughts more severe. ah, so in terms of how often they happen and how intense they are and it, it leads to those higher temperatures, less rain fall in certain areas. and we've seen other effects from climate change across europe as well, whether it's the heat wave he waves like we've seen in the u. k. ah,

wildfires here in germany and in other countries across the continent. a. so all, all of those things are being made worse by climate change, like the drought here and, and other parts of the world right now to some other baker report and from cologne there. thank you very much. some of the, a chess player from poland pass. i'll blasted his soaking wet rivals to win the trust championship with the difference. it all took place on the water. i. this is the final of the well to dive chest championships in london. it's the players who like a wetter challenge. contestants have to hold their breath while mulling them move on a board submerged in a swimming pool. the technique encourages quick thinking. the chessboard and pieces are weighted down. not so the players trying to see the pieces. keep yourself down as a lot more difficult, especially with play a long day,

thankful to me. and every time i'm coming up, it's a, it's, it's, it's american in itself, in dive chess is as much about lung capacity as wit. oh, you don't realize that we can spend more time on to malta. it just it becomes harder to find good news. as again goes on the tournament featured full rounds and matches lasted up to an hour to get the final for poland because mother katy swim, head to head with south africa. allen deca, the po made the biggest splash. so what's his secret? i'm wanting just in front of the board, like many others said try to keep only that under the water and then when they were making low. so they went under energy from the board. however,

in my opinion, is better to play this funking technique. that's why you went wrong, alan, better luck next time. method for me the new steam don't go away, stay with us. dw business is up next week, stephen gets the younger out office from me on the news team i spoke with ah, my ended glistening place of morning the mediterranean sea, it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of almost rock. and to far abdul karim.
