avoidance, no doubt, i want to repeat the li totally, and he loves the visions dejected. the presidential results announced yesterday by miss whittaker, i want to commend was abortive, very many gun and keeping the peace and i'd them to continue to do so. today, i do not want to fully address was told is going forward. but suffice it to not do will be pushing on constitutional and legal options available to us or the w's. 8th kimani in nairobi told me her rather a dangerous statement had been received, mixed reactions. i would see feel, gail, you can expect that funky support as they are 100 percent. absolutely backing his decision. seeing that they do not actually trust the independent electoral

boundaries commission. this is the body charged with conducting the election. and they're saying that they will follow him to the courts and do whatever it is that he asked them to do. for those that do not support trailer however, they do see their views at rather his views differently. i mean, rain or didn't get did see to the independent body there that they were not in fact independent that be all but made up the results that they released yesterday. and she was very harsh, particularly when the chairperson of that body will pull out of kathy and comparing his actress to that of a dictates and claiming that he lots of commissioners out of the presidential tally . so, you know, he's basically thing, but as far as is concerned, rain or dinner, there is no, we know there is no president elect. and when people who don't know what in here that they're basically saying that he's the one was pulling the country back, forcing us into an election when people were not really in the room for the 1st one . right. so that now we have what looks like an odd situation where the election has been signed off by observers, but which election commissioners,

or og are so clearly divided about that's right, and it's because the observers just invited guess, external parties who don't have a stick in the election normally drawn from the e u or the e u, and their job is primarily on election day to make sure that electro materials are on the ground. the police stations are open on time, accessible to people who are differently abled. and so when they assess that, they see that it was indeed free fair and as far as they're concerned, also transparent. however, the commissioner's was mean job is to count the votes. how it's have something different to say, well, at least 4 out of the 7 commissioners there. arguing that awful it a because the chairperson did in fact make up these numbers that they were knocked out as we know, dinner was claiming and they say that they don't agree with that results however, shall kathy is as the returning officer and the constitution only applies to that he doesn't say anything about them having to agree as commissioners. but he does

say that he has a final word as the returning officer, that's pulling station and that's why he was able to still go ahead and announce that result. so what happens next? what happens now is we wait and see if a loading is going to file a petition. he has 7 days to do that. and then the high court will have another 14 days, excuse me. the supreme court will then have 14 days to make a determination. one that should they agree that there is the result was indeed fair and go ahead and uphold the selection that we over to the president elect will be a good be swanny. however, if they nullified this resolved, then we'll go back into an election about 60 days from then. thank you for that. it is kamani in nairobi. so a summer of record breaking heat is dry rivers across europe. with around half the continent facing an unprecedented drought, shipping companies in germany are preparing for the worst was the river,

the record that may be broken or later this year, or even in the next week or weeks to come as it usually does reach that low point in october we still got a ways to go in the season. ok, so it could still get a lot worse. what would be the economic impact if shipping on the ryan came to a standstill? yes, well many companies move their goods up and down the ryan and they need about a meter and a half of water to move those large barges. so some companies already it, since there's not enough water in some points of the ryan, are having to reduce their cargo to as low as 25 percent of what they planned to carry. so this is creating delays in products, getting to where they need to be, and that increasing costs for company, including companies that ship things like coal, heating oil and diesel up and down the river. so that is only going to exacerbate the energy crisis here in germany. and we're seeing similar scenes, of course,

across the continent and the data across the world, and it's old being linked to climate change. yes, absolutely. climate change is making droughts worse. so it's making them both more frequent and more severe when they do happen. we are seeing that across the continent and the danube on the law in france and the po, river river in italy. these are really low water levels and it's, it's of great concern, not just for shipping, but you know, anyone who relies on these rivers. okay. we'll leave it there. thank you so much. samantha baker in cologne. thank you. but i can look at some more stories making headlines today have polish firefighters of now i recovered a 100 tons of dead fish from the river odor, which forms part of the gem polish border. more have been removed downstream in germany. scientists are baffled. german tests have confirmed mercury levels are not
