3:00 pm
what is val? how will they react as a 2nd question and then what comes next is the 3rd. yeah. yeah, that's okay with this is the w use lie from berlin. a smooth transition of power in kenya in doubt as the runner up rejects election results. by the way, dingo calls the election process, a travesty and says he will challenge his defeat. after the election commission declared william, brutal, the winner will get. the latest from nairobi also coming up and i'm president,
3:01 pm
a drought dries up europe main waterways. the effects of record breaking heat reveal how much the content depends on its rivers for trade and energy. transport on germany is key shipping artery. the brian is at risk of grinding to a halt, explosions rock of russian military facility and crimea. moscow called this latest incident on the kremlin control peninsula, sabotage. and the year old taliban rule in afghanistan roads women's rights. hundreds of thousands of goals of bond from going to high school, a correspondent reports. this'll have far reaching consequences on the nations prosperity. ah, i've been fas all and welcome the runner up to kenya's presidential election by law . dingo has confirmed he will contest the results. he called the final tally, a travesty, and blatant disregard of the constitution. i think
3:02 pm
a claims that the chairperson of the commission acted unilaterally and illegally in declaring his rival, william, brutal as the winner that there is no doubt. let's bring indeed, always use it as commodity who's in nairobi eat us. so what really is official then at the moment it still remains on paper that william router is a president elect. this was because they said it to day by the independent electoral boundaries commission. however, as you've just said, regarding a has come up to in no uncertain terms, said that he does not recognize that result. that he does not believe we have a president elect because that result is contested. he was particularly harsh on the chairperson of the independence of commission. seeing that he behaved like a dictator saying that he is the only one a claiming rather that he is the only one who had access to the national tiny. and so it was very interesting to watch that on august the, the whole country feeling
3:03 pm
a little desk right now, because we are remembering what happened in 2007, when such an event occurred and the country i went through a very painful outpost selection bias but right now, dinger again asking his supporters to exercise caution it if can you tell us a bit more about the numbers involved here? because this was a neck and neck race. we were talking about a 50 point or rather 50 plus one percent to win this for we ended up getting what 50 and a half just explained was some of the, um, the points of contention involved here. right, so the commissioners of the electoral commission have come out to say that when they add these numbers, these are 4 out of the 7 commissioners who are on this body. that when they put the figures together, they come up with a total of 100.01 percent. and so them see the numbers just they don't make sense where at 0 point, one percent of voters coming from and according to their figures,
3:04 pm
visit represent about a 142000 voters. and that's a figure which if it's true, could change who really became the winner after this, our vote counts. and so that's the latest figure, of course. and we haven't had from william rooters team, i'm sure they went to come and dispute this figure. and as i mentioned earlier, we're our route rather reno dingo is set to go to the course to dispute this as well. how do you think? i think it's supporters will react. so 5 been very tense with it feed some scary image is coming from some of his strong holes. but at the moment it still remains a very come a lot of people in can you have been exercising a lot of caution. people want to go back to normal life kidley to go back to school . that's what parents are saying. and so we are hoping that this is what will remain, but with can you anything, is we possible during these volatile times of elections? so what comes next?
3:05 pm
it's been 10 times we've been waiting for days for this result. originally we were told 4 days it ended up being what almost a week or what are we going to hear next? do you think or hear from next? well right now, raina is the one who holds the cars. he's got 7 days to find a petition with the supreme court. and in the seventy's, he has to basically say why he thinks the election is not free and fair did a to kill in some of those points idea. but he suddenly needs a higher threshold of, of proof with the courts, the causal them, how 14 days to make a determination on whether or not there is a case. and then we'll either hold the current results and who and, and rather we agreed to be means the president elect that he's wanting. alternatively, they could say that they agree with what a guy is claiming, in which case the country will have 60 days to go to another election. 8 kamani with the latest there on the presidential election in kenya. thank you.
3:06 pm
a summer of record breaking heat is drying up rivers. across europe, around half the continent is facing an unprecedented drought. shipping companies in germany preparing for the worst as the river brine brought to critical levels, authority say many vessels will be unable to navigate the key shipping road. if the water drops much lower scientists, warm climate change is leading to even more frequent periods of extreme heat and round. they w samantha baker is covering the story for us from the banks of the river brian and cologne. i asked her about the water levels where she is, the water levels here are extremely low and they're almost approaching record levels here in cologne. so you can see around me the, the banks here are creeping into the middle of the river. i mean that they're really expanding from, from where the waters levels were earlier this summer. so like i said,
3:07 pm
this is reaching almost near record lows and it's affecting shipping as you mentioned. so if the water is not a meter and a half high, these large ships can't navigate the ryan, which means they have to carry less goods as little as 25 percent of what they were planning to carry. and that leads to delays and shipping and increased costs. unfortunately, this situation isn't forecasts you change any time soon. those law, those water levels aren't set to rise any time soon. sam, normally, water levels only begin to drop from this time of year. how's it managed to get is so bad. so worley well, climate change is certainly having an impact here on the drought across europe really. so we've seen it prolonged periods of high temperatures the summer and not very much rainfall in the past few weeks. so that is just making the problem worse and worse. and so you know, this,
3:08 pm
this impact is making droughts in general, more intense, more frequent, more severe. and, and it's leading to these really low water levels, not only here on the rind, but also on the war in france, on the po river in italy, on the danube. really, across the continent, authority, se, shipping on the river rhyme where you might soon come to a stand. so what, what would be the economic impact of that? yes, so that will certainly impact businesses here in germany as well as a few other countries. most of germany's goods are shipped on the and so it's going to have a big impact in 2008 last time that water levels got this low. ah, it impacted germany's g. d p by a point 4 percent of businesses are a little bit more prepared this time because they had that record year in 2008. 18
3:09 pm
but you know, it's, it's to be seen usually at the record lows come closer to october. we still got a ways to go in the season. so what can be done so because this drought is made worse by climate change, the main thing is reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and i means stop using fossil fuels. now it's perhaps a bit ironic that many of the ships that go up and down this river behind me are carrying things like coal, heating, oil and diesel and burning. those fossil fuels is making the problem of climate change worse, which is making it harder for them to navigate this river due to low water levels and due to this drought. so that's the main thing to be done in the long term. short term. some of these companies, you know, may need to find other ways to move their goods. i, if they can't get up and down the ryan w samantha baker in cologne. thank you. the netherlands,
3:10 pm
which borders germany is normally one of the wettest countries in europe. but this summer it's also battling a prolonged drought and water shortages with just about a 3rd of its land below sea level. the netherlands is especially vulnerable to climate change and is now being forced to adapt fast kettle coming to award to whole to dry dot reservoir. just outside the dutch town of devonshire, it's very dry season now and he can see the water levers very, very low. this canal would normally be bringing water into one of the netherlands biggest rivers. we are at the bottom of the civic. normally the sir, me the water over here, but now you can see it's all, it's all gone. you can see a little bit water over there, fill me the sub stream, but this is all gone. and as the river, i saw in cassy alo, it's mine. and is responsible for the upkeep of the dike system in this region. and the extreme heat is not only drying out the waterways,
3:11 pm
but also endangering his levies. it is, will be all covered with grass by now you can see it's sol, dirt so dry. now. you need to cross cover or because it's erosion, blankets or top of levy. or you can see what a future would look like if it stays this better. the dike needs water for it to stay safe and violent has to prepare for the change in conditions. yeah, look what, what plans are gonna be better at the drought that that longer roots we want to learn from sort upon spot of europe to if to learn from it moving 90 kilometers westward on the outskirts of the city of attrition. the picture seems quite different with pumping station is called the on border the supplier. and it's part of the climate adaptation system that we used to get sweetwater to the west of the netherlands. but with the rhine already running it extremely low levels,
3:12 pm
it looks to be helping one neighbor at the expense of another nature, agriculture, and also the dikes need the water from the rhine river. because if this pump stopped working, salt water from the sea will push into the coastal waterways. sharon is looking at a complete reversal of dutch water manage, and the history of the netherlands is a history of a flood defense. and that is how the dutch bales of the netherlands, especially the western western bar, below are the sea level. but we also now have to prepare for more drugs and more and more heat. however, central water distribution is of little help on the we touch family farm. normally the couch all day or walk outside and take the grass outside. but now does nothing growing. so i have to eat something so they stay inside an old address
3:13 pm
from last year. and was his corn fields i'm is sorry, state farm, a william young has little hope they can grow not feed and there's no rain. the stories out, nothing grows hopefully to the day. and we will hope that it will rain, but the weight goes on. the forecast is expecting yet more dry and hot weather but funder hawk is a climate or so sure that they'll tower. since it's true in delphi, the netherlands. i asked him how damaging he thinks they thought dry summer will be to his own country. well, that is indeed something really not very used to, i mean, you heard from the video just before we are a country that is prepared for flooding and we sort of have a heroic story about our country. we defend that ourselves against c and the rivers, but this is a drought declaration that is of course, yeah, reaching us more and more often with the changing climate. but we need to
3:14 pm
increasingly get used to it. and so we really need to adjust ourselves to this country, to asian, for sure. what would be the consequences though, if the dots don't adapt in time? wow, that's actually no option because no one can live without water. so we'll, we'll, we'll adept in one way or another and, you know, there was, we have had tried years for sure. and we are currently in this year we are not in the records here. even in 1976 is still the most prominent drought year that we have experience in more than history. but of course our society has developed as well since then our, our population has grown. economy is growing. so we are probably a bit more sensitive to say, so these kinds of conditions. but again, 2018 also was a year that was really, yeah, another kind of wave call call. and also because we had a sequence of dry year sales of $2920.00 were relatively dry in
3:15 pm
a growing season. and that made us aware that this is something to stay and something to prepare for. and, and since then we have, we have implemented quite a few measures like more water retention. we've, we, we've, we've elaborated on the way we manage our fresh water as far as we have a big lake called lake shore, which is covering 15 percent of the live say to the north. and we manage it in order to have sufficient amount of water. we also have a lot of attention paying paid, going on currently to, you know, keeping water in the domain area. we intend to all domain for many of the areas were designed to, to get rid of the water and we drain areas to go further into to cultural land. for though we realize we need to keep the water in. so we've, we've change a lot of the natural flows and to, into water management in order to, to have higher water level throughout the year. and try to touch sort of so many
3:16 pm
adaptation actions ongoing and still to come have no other patient is not an option at all. hunter is such a bad on dog. let's look at some more stories making headlines today. police and pakistan say at least 20 people have died after a speeding bass collided with an oil tanker. the crash frigate, a fire that ignited the tanker and quickly engulf both vehicles. 6 passengers survived the collision that the traffic accidents are common in pakistan, mainly due to speeding and the poor state of roads. indonesian presidential widow has called on his nation to be a bridge of peace between russia and ukraine in his annual state of the nation address. we'd all hailed his country's growing stature as a leader on the global stage. his speech comes a day before indonesia celebrate 77 years of independence. germany's economy minister, who at har beck has signed a letter of intent with 4 large energy and borders. a pledge to supply the
3:17 pm
country's 1st import terminals with liquefied natural gas. the 2 terminals on the german north the coast due to go into operation at the end of the year. that part of germany's efforts to produce dependence on russian energy and ammunition. their po has exploded in crimea. a week after similar blasts rocked a russian air base on the antics peninsula. the russian defense ministry originally attributed the blasts to a fire at a military warehouse. but now say the damage is the result of sabotage. local officials say 2 people were injured while another 2000 or a back. you waited as a precaution. ukraine has neither committed, confirmed or denied. it's involvement in the blasts in crimea. and it's sheila was illegally annexed by russia in 2014. i asked our correspondent in cave yon phillips shows how ukraine is reacting to the incidence. of course, hardly anybody here believes that it's just a strange series of accidents. and so some ukrainian officials have made comments
3:18 pm
that leave some room for interpretation. let say shortly after the explosion or presidential adviser tweeted that invaders have to understand that there is a high risk of death in occupied territories for them. is so hardly anybody believes in accidents and a for many ukrainians. crimea is one of the most symbolic places of this war. they would so welcome any possible attack on your russian facilities there. as you know, a crimea has been occupied by russia for the past 8 years. busy and so president zalinski has repeatedly made it clear that any efforts to win the war, any effort to take bag occupied territory must include crimea, concerns or alter growing about the strikes near these apparition, nuclear plant. what, what's the latest there?
3:19 pm
yes, local authorities say that artillery attacks have continued so very closer to the plant and the past 48 hours for that is very concerning. and they say that the the russian side says that the ukrainians are responsible for the attacks and vice versa. they blame it is each other as usual, but we were able to talk to some engineers that worked or at the plant until recently. and they confirm that the situation is getting increasingly alarming. a lot of facilities have been destroyed in recent days. in theory, both ukraine and russia agree that there should be an emission of for international inspectors, but they disagree on the conditions. russia rejects any mission that travels
3:20 pm
through non occupied ukrainian territory. so at the moment of our little sign for improvements. unfortunately, that is unfortunate. john phillips shots, thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the situation in ukraine. it's been one years since the taliban sees power in afghanistan. since then, the countries faced economic chaos acute hunger and erosion of fundamental rights in particular for women and girls, and a taliban rule, women are mostly restricted from working outside. the home teenage girls are banned from going to high school that will have far reaching consequences on the prosperity of the country. ah, these girls are hungry for the education they get. its are gonna high school in cobbling. they have big plans. who of you went to be a doctor? raise your hands that these plans may end of his dreams. although they are only 11

or 12. this is their last year at school. the taliban are allowing only very few goods to study beyond grade 6. the leadership has effectively bent secondary education for girls. these limit emerett as the taliban called their government. once to enforce agenda, segregated society where teenage girls and women mainly stay at home hello flat. i will try my best to continue with my classes here. but i asked the slammy camera to open good school, still great to algebra for that we can study properly get a dozen fiddlers that her mother started doing business as above. i'm sad, i ask our government to open schools so we can all study the rights of women and men should be equal but does better. but so on my mother, this used to be a place of learning for more than 8000 girls other than now. they're only 2000 students in grades 7 to 12 are at home. the teachers keep going,
3:22 pm

3:23 pm
list for them. that'll dollar somebody hammer, hobbits at old. there are definitely some problems for the grades after class 6 live, but you need to ask the ministry of education for specifics. the issue will not last forever on that i hope it will be resolved soon. that will be islamic emerett as thinking about it, the set up has been out of school for 2 years. first, due to corona, then the taliban, the 16 year old study set home alone induced emily, may i miss being that my friends, i miss drawing and studying with them. i also miss being that might each other during exam, so i missed them all. my biggest hope was to become a doctor. now, my biggest hope is that my school will start again. her oldest sister, fresh day as a teacher, she still works teaching little boys. she understands sad, duff's desire for schooling, but can do little to cheer her up. i mean, i've had
