We have yet another but unity. To show the world. That we. Are a free. Modern state. With just hours to go before kenyans head back to the polls a general mood of where the nose of the country the cup with the might all be household emptied out they did last august when many people left the city to go back on the boat in the middle and yes many on the one think that some are hitting opposition holds for a boy cause they independent election and bundlers Commission Says its ready to hold the elections papers books and some of the material have been delivered to polling stations across the country but the chairman of the commission is complaining of threats to his stuff and safety come old given t. The security while out to walk with me the decision to serve your country at home in the hollywood disposability midwife in a democracy becomes as risky as going to war then without a list for the last two months kenya has had a tense postelection period marked by protests Police Shootings and legal battles its unlikely things they support would bring old autonomy and mohamed atta while jazeera arabic and. Kenyan piece of also used tear gas to disperse protests in Opposition Strongholds catherine so why has more western. As protesters have been out on the streets all morning they block road using stones and gold as been lighting bonfires as well they say theyre very angry and particularly after the Supreme Court this is the first straight that tomorrow theyre not going to go to where they will not recognize all working out and when there will not even wrap up night here. They said they also angry with the police. Brutality since all passed during protests thousands of people who have been killed including children and people you say human man who are saying that police have killed most most people people burning out greece saying that well not really its very difficult even to see how things like pulling material will get. To the people who would want. To see how that would happen because a lot of the area and a lot of tension well im joined now by agnes it its time whos the director of g. B. s africa a london based Consultancy Firm i guess a very warm welcome to the program you and i was just sitting chatting because weve been talking about the story for some time now it seems to be reaching some wards although i dont want to say a conclusion way too early to say that but to morrow well what happens be seamlessly just. You know julie i mean of discussing this of four of the two along says that august elections so their national will go ahead as you hide but president kenyatta was suddenly win and youll be the lawful president but it will be up on him to unite kenya or and address of the least use that people have highlighted like fight corruption you know investigate their election related. End and certainly ensure that all the issues that kenyans are violated are resolved and bring the country together so its a low for well actually we went to build this he will win his second term but it will be appoint him and i mean there is a cause for optimism knowing president kenya terror and hes legacy he seems like a very same politician who is commitment to kenya is is probably beyond politics and so israel odinga and their food you read the complete the conversation weve had this evening saying that if you dont vote its your democratic right and youll be protected and also from the opposition well odinga saying that those who boycott election boycott basically if theyre not protests let the people exercise the next democratic word and that we can move on why did the Supreme Court not block the ball so they cited lack of korra and thats a very unsettling for when kenya is faced as such uncertainty to use quorum rather than a legal argument to not to hear the paul paul case its very unfortunate but also julie it was a little bit too it was huge hairy you know it was it was far very last minute and or wady today was a National Holiday which had already been declared so was almost impossible to bring the corum together but i would think that every kenyan would sacrifice their time to ensure that we are able to to move this country forward for an ordinary kenyan how unsettling has this been for a country that has a you know a deep respect of the ballot box. You know julie you are completely right the kenyans have in huge numbers turned out to exercise this almost like a hope that politics can be a force of good but these this feeling of teague its been going on for so long been complaining for over two years now these certainly imagined need for kenyans to move on and get on with or without but we call it the politics of moving on to kenya but how does a nation move on if there isnt a legitimate opposition i mean this while a dingo hes talking about you know taking the people who follow him and kind of moving into Something Different is that a worrying development i mean how how does a sensible pragmatic opposition kind of rise up in the current landscape you know this did not begin yesterday kenyas politics is normally very messy but the kenyans are very resilient where we have been faced with challenges like we are now been able to address them through reforms two thousand and seven we change our constitution so i am certain that allowed to go will hold the government accountable as im as an Opposition Leader despite despite what is calling for movement and im hopeful i mean i still have that these two leaders will sit together and chat the way forward for the country but he was the have a very independent institutions the judicial courts which i support have done very well in sort of guiding the way forward through our law so that will be another alternative interesting to see what happens to our advice thank you very much. Now in a joint news with the u. S. Qatar has imposed sanctions targeting alleged leaders the nancy s. And facilitators of eisel in iraq in syria and in yemen and al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula eleven yemeni nationals and a Charitable Organization and a supermarket make up the list of thirteen the sanctions into asset freezes and travel bans the two countries say the move strengthens their joint commitment to combat terrorism and tariff financing well as jordan has more now from washington d. C. A number of yemeni citizens and two yemeni organizations are now in the sights of the Us Government and of several governments in the gulf thats because theyve been accused of providing Financial Support to al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula based inside yemen as well as to i sold in yemen these two groups have been accused of carrying out deadly attacks on yemeni citizens and institutions for several years now and as the u. S. Treasury secretary Steven Nugent said on wednesday these two groups pose a National Security threat to the United States and to its allies what is significant about this new round of sanctions its that its being done through something called the terrorist Financing Targeting Center this is an organization that was set up by the u. S. And by the gulf countries back in late may of course it goes without saying that just a couple of weeks after this organization was set up the blockade against the government of qatar was launched into question whether that country itself was doing enough to fight terrorist financing even though the government in doha has argued strenuously that it is doing its part and even signed a new member random of understanding with washington to prove its commitment there are still open questions from other gulf countries namely saudi arabia about whether doha is doing enough to crack down. On terrorist groups now with the joint announcement coming from washington doha riyadh and other regional capitals there might be no question that this work is actually taking effect the real question is whether the people listed on this new list of sanctions on wednesday will actually see their assets being frozen and find it impossible to travel anywhere around the world as the u. S. And other governments its found in other sanctions regimes the way that these will be successful will be if in fact money is cut off not just from the people accused of doing this financing but of course whether al qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and i saw in yemen actually are star belt and lose their capability of launching new and deadly attacks is the enforcement not just the announcement that matters in the situation its still to come on the al jazeera news hour israel approved plans for one hundred seventy six new jewish homes in occupied East Jerusalem aljazeera joins colombias Anti Narcotics cases they look to eradicate the booming cocaine use.

Five decades of Israeli Occupation and many scenes remain the same young palestinians throw stones at Israeli Soldiers who respond with tear gas but now report from Human Rights Organization beat salaam and hama kid says israel is ignoring special laws to protect the rights of minors and teenagers when they are detained after a protest that this is an age in which people. Are more vulnerable and can actually be scarred for life traumatized for life through such experiences and so you want to have special protections in place. The reports authors say the Justice System in israel lacks any understanding of due process when handling palestinian teens specifically in occupied East Jerusalem and the west bank we have a system in which on one side Police Officers prosecutors judges the jails will all and always be israeli and in this case you have you know that a student teenagers who are always on the receiving end of this of this reality sixty teenagers suspected of stone throwing were interviewed for the report some were arrested in the middle of the night which is forbidden under israeli law seventy percent of the boys arrested did not know they had the right to remain silent a third of the boys did not speak to a lawyer they said they feared being harmed and were pressured to sign involuntary and sometimes false confessions in ninety five percent of the cases the boys were questioned without a parent or relative being present most were threatened and interrogated and could be held in harsh conditions in a cell for days or weeks human Rights Groups dont see israel changing its abuse of palestinian teens any time soon sad and difficult conclusion that we are unlikely to see any.
