On tuesday a dingo withdrew his candidacy for the vote of iran later this month citing a lack of Electoral Reform. On and passed a bill that would change our future elections or manage it opens a field for other candidates to stand in the rerun lets go live to florida miller who is in nairobi for us from there bring us up to speed for us with the situation on the ground theres a lot of tension right right now on the streets of nairobi. Were outside the offices of the Electoral Commission and this is were expecting protesters. Here in the day in fact weve seen some protesters motorbikes come this way and behind us theres a Significant Police presence in preparation of these Protesters Police that fired tear gas at hundreds of protesters are in the middle of the city now weve seen these protests happen at least twice a week. These protests could possibly go off to see the what fool. Main opposition contend. From elections that were due to happen on the twenty sixth of october and this is what kenyans a way to. Take place. Incumbent president. President based on some constitutional provisions and. To be signed these amendments to the would have to be signed by. Symmetry it would allow him to be declared president without an election taking place give us a bit more detail. On the rulings that were made today there was one from the parliament a decision from the parliament that you just talked about there briefly but also one from the high court what do these ruling saying exactly and all were going to see an election on at the end of october the the just to take you back its like you want the supreme who. Should be a rerun and. The election the. Elections would say just with a twenty six. Following that to the. Amendments to the election that for some very controversial some of these amendments would clarify and reinforce certain guidelines around how elections would be held there are two areas of contention one is that for the remaining candidates for an election the other one with tools would be named president s and the second one is on the conduct of the election specifically the telling of the results if you remember back to the Supreme Court that there was some irregularities with regard to the taliban results and this is why we run should happen Going Forward because these amendments have now been the emanuels tallying all results take precedence ultimately reducing the power of the judiciary in the case of a contested election to the possum Office Amendment hasnt been received by everyone and consent continues to be a point of contention nothing more in the process. Actually commission and this is a major issue. In an election because they dont trust the i. P. C. C. And youre coming election the yes were hearing are the crowds behind you there and people gathering outside the Electoral Commission in nairobi from him you know where you are we saw some reporters Wearing Masks were to protect themselves i imagine from the. That has already been fired by police against the opposition supporters only a in nairobi ten scenes clearly on the city in the city whats the security like and what are people saying about this constitutional crisis and political crisis right now if you are able to tell us honestly. The. Everything that you. Know we. Should be military. Commission. Election. I mean anything and its getting quite tense where you are peace stay safe ten scenes on the streets of nairobi right now as opposition supporters gathered to protest outside the Electoral Commission in the kenyan capital will keep a close eye on the situation and bring you all the latest updates as and when we have them here on aljazeera moving on to spain now where the Prime Ministers asks council on leaders to clearly state if they have declared independence before taking any measures on tuesday catalonia zita palace which marks step back from announcing full independence he signed a symbolic decoration instead and called for negotiations with madrid live to our desire as lawrence lee who is in madrid for a spanish capital so lawrence a brief Statement Last hour from the Prime Minister after that extraordinary Cabinet Meeting what did we hear from him what was the tone of his message. Well ali what we basically have now is the most extraordinary and complicated game of political and legal ping pong being conducted over the course of about the last eighteen hours between barcelona and madrid its b. S. Today president signed this symbolic declaration of secession and independence and that was taken last night by madrid as a full declaration and they said this is outrageous it cant stand the catalans of making up the law as they go along and we have no reason to negotiate with them on any grounds so over to madrid whats really going to say and in the statements he basically said we now need he turned around really he didnt accept that they had declared their independence as they said last night he said you need to clarify whether youve declared independence and if you do clarify that then we will take back your autonomous powers well talk about what all means in the second but heres what he had to say. Weve held a Cabinet Meeting and weve decided the Catalan Government in moscow whether or not they have declared independence regardless of whether its going to take effect or not this is a requirement necessary before any other measures can be taken by the government including invoking article one fifty five. Whats put him on going to say clearly in all this you can see an absolute threat from moderates is absolutely now laid out. Tell us youre going to go independent and if you do then we will bring back your autonomous powers and you will no longer own your own states we are going to do it for you so in that theres an absolutely explicit threat and the question arises what if anything is the catalan president going to say and for what its worth we think here and ill team in barcelona think as well theres absolutely no reason why the catalan president should answer this demand from at all either today or in the coming days remember no timeline on this he didnt say you have to tell us today or in forty eight hours or seven days or six months he just said say its clearly theres no reason to put him on to do it because if he does that then he knows that its he loses all catalonia and so in the end what it does is to kick it down the line to some degree take the heat out of it but you get this sense of sort of suspended animation or madrid with no clear path as to whats going to happen next. We just. Have a statement from the European Commission which is saying it holds for an end to this dispute spain the e. U. Has been very reluctant to get involved in this crisis saying that its an internal matter but if we are heading towards a prolonged crisis is it looks like right now all we likely to see external mediation from the e. U. Or from from another country perhaps. Well look i mean i think everyone is trying to figure it out of the moment is the short answer but here is what we know the spanish side says there is nobody in the outside world to should have to negotiate this at all its a direct legal issue between catalonia and madrid they see no reason for the europeans to get themselves involved all from the european side it has been made explicitly clear again by the European Commissioner today and by younger the head of the European Commission a variety of european figures that they will not allow or recognize cattle and independence and they want the spanish constitution to be a bait and that does i think creates a problem particularly for the katsa lands in the weeks or months to come because if the europeans said at any point we will mediate then the catalans might say well youre not fair actors because you dont want us to be independent its all equally the spanish wouldnt want to do it because they dont see any need for mediation now there may be some pressure and in the fullness of time from the outside to say to spain youre going to have to sit down with these people on some basis to talk to them because you cant carry on in suspended animation like this forever but its by no means clear how they would do that because the fault line remains the council lines catalan say it needs to be a political negotiation the spanish side say no it doesnt its a legal issue and its that hurdle that at the moment appears to be insurmountable complicate a crisis certainly thank you very much for that nor and any life i see in the spanish capital in the trades to the u. S. Now and the death toll from Northern Californias wildfires continues to rise so far people have been killed thousands more have fled from their homes but many are returning to find their houses no longer.
