The spanish Prime Minister gives castle five days to clarify his position on independence. United nations accusing Security Forces of a campaign of systematic torture rape and killings in rakhine state. And cites and guessing fuss a new report paints a grim picture of the health of children and adolescents worldwide. Including the United States missing out on the twenty eighteen world cup in russia. We begin this news in kenya where police have fired tear gas the protesters unhappy about a new election law supporters of. Fear it could lead to a victory for the current president kenyatta in the rerun of the elections for just over two weeks time mass protests began just twenty four hours after the Opposition Leader pulled out of that election i made a miller has the latest from the capital nairobi. Raila odinga supporters bailey needed any prompting to return to the streets. Theyre demonstrating against Kenyas Electoral Commission which they believe wont conduct a free and fair. Election. But supporters. Added on him dropping out of the race. Which he lost was great the Supreme Court laid to rule theyd been irregularities in how the vote was counted and incumbent and should stand in new elections you cannot go to an election has credibility. So i think of what i like the i think that is the best option but we are not but. Because of the pressure so youre out there most that youre not happy to. See i guess protesters and. Nairobi was large they. Had them and they said any reforms to. Election. Kenyas constitution is not clear on what happens once a candidate with flows from everyone but parliament has now passed amendments to electoral laws that could allow can yatta to be named the winner. Twenty six and the president has about spades and mr space then its very easy to say that well have a president removed command of the legitimacy and respect from all corners the Electoral Commission will decide what happens next but if any of its decisions can be contested in court kenya faces one of many possibilities including declaring incumbent president a hurricane as the only remaining candidates the winner of the rerun all Holding Elections and then declaring kenyatta the winner oh holding fresh elections within ninety days with new nominations for president. Says he should be declared president ordering guys pushing for fresh elections in a pronouncement from b. C. Will not be believable and the conduct of. Both the conduct of the commission as its official has not been inspired or not lol. Maybe its a faltering economy or an ongoing political feud all kenyans are guaranteed at this point is uncertainty the media miller aljazeera nairobi. Ok with me now the studio is agnes just how a director at the Consultancy Firm g. B. s east africa which advises governments and businesses in that region thanks for coming into the studio q how surprising was it that the Opposition Leader raul odinga decided to pull out and what is supporters making of this was quite surprising there were rumors in the beginning of the week that it was going to pull out but the actual withdrawal of danger from this this election has drawn everybody into i mean and its chaos. Too for lack of a better word and his supporters i guess they are feeling some of them are happy they think he is legitimate to do what he did because they think that he has every reason because all the stuff he had asked for has not been met so they feel hes doing the right thing but other people are disappointed it is very confusing about so the to ing and fro ing of changing particular laws what applies when and where the kenyan election will the latest were hearing has said that all eight president ial candidates were on the who took part in the in the previous election can now go on the ballot for this election is that likely to happen do you think do you think thats whats going to happen were going to go ahead but without a danger but with these other sort of lesser known people being the opposition for united at the moment we dont know whats going to happen but within two weeks how will the other candidates prepare to run for president elect and then so this is not really a fair raise serious eight six other candidates who have not been in the past preparing well theyre the kind of ive been on the campaign trail you know to be clearly organise the country is in a quagmire and this is due to political greed by politicians and its important that political aspirations should not be put before kenyas. I think we need to sit down and have a dialogue because this the situation were at right now knowing nobody knows whats going to happen is it going to be an election on the twenty sixth to be honest i dont know and the real fear of course is of more violence we all saw what happened in the previous election when so many people died in postelection violence in the run up to the election in august actually there was almost a sense of relief that the violence that we saw previously hadnt reoccurred this time i guess this uncertainty at least the possibility that violence and more protests could break out later years that they because of protests really one cannot cannot ignore that this is what happened back in two thousand and seven you know rylan no election no violence or peace these are the city rhetorical we had back in two thousand and seven and its something that kenyans wish to forget you know so there is certainly that uncertainty and i think and its my continued message is can we hold these weve already shown the world that kenya is coming of age as a mature democracy are we able to hold a housing order and run an election and have a government that pushes to the next to the next say five or ten years and it is important isnt it what the International Community makes of whats happening in kenya these National Community is always needed isnt it to sort of say this is this is free and fair were happy with this election and were happy to continue you know trading and investing in kenya because its important for the kenyan economy absolutely others said earlier they can only have struggled you know due to drought and also this Political Uncertainty and its also very important that International Community is reassured and i know theres been movement from government officials in their prime from the Prime Minister will be in london this week theres been Movement Just politician calling reassuring or trying by the scenes or seeing on the ground for this city really do not come close to giving anybody reassurance us stock market has turned currency is struggling so they certainly needs to be some reassurance and im not sure whether it will come from the Political Class city it certainly is a country of instability and uncertainty at the moment so i can get our preshow your time and your analysis thank you for coming in thank you. Spains Prime Minister has asked catalan leaders to say whether they have declared independence giving them five days to reply or to say the catalan president asked parliament to suspend the declaration of independence to allow for talks catalonia does press on with secession the Spanish Government says it will take away the regions political autonomy or insley has more now from madrid madrid does not like being told what to do by the Council Lands for once parliament was united as the journalist speculated the cabinets agreed the spanish lion bit back against the catalan demand that their independence will happen the Prime Minister said you say it out loud and we will take back your powers no dice no deal and you have until monday. Youve held a Cabinet Meeting and weve decided the Catalan Government must confirm 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. So back it goes to barcelona madrid no society there is split some separatist wants a session now others are nervous half the population hates the whole idea how long should they wait. We know there are very important governments and people around the world who are ready to assist in mediation weve got the group of the elders with coffee and with a bang kimoon with desmond tutu who are ready to exercise their mediation the only small detail which we are missing is that we have nobody on the other side of the table because marianne or just said he was not accepting mediation. All the while europe looks on surely not another country fracturing itself there is no support at all in brussels for the Catalan Independence movements madrid knows that it is the side with the powerful friends. Many people in madrid regard roys statements his demand that catalonia clarify its position on independence as a shrewd one by putting the ball straight back in catalonia courts it potentially exposes divisions inside the independence movements that might buy madrid some time take the pressure out of the immediate situation but also leave the crisis open ended. Where the protesters in barcelona go from here is a good question madrid would like nothing more than for them to turn on each other destroy their own movements that would rule out the need for mediation which madrid insists there is no place for asli aljazeera which it. Is there any sign of what the catholic government governments the answer to that question of independence or not independence is likely today. But we know that the declaration they made on tuesday night was it was considered a symbolic declaration of how it was described they could easily say if they want to that no this was not official we dont know what theyre going to say from the general atop the building behind me where the government sits where mr office is the pressure is clearly on him though hes got until monday to answer that challenge for mr rajoy whether he stands by the declaration or not and if he does hes got then until thursday to basically revoke his decision or face section one five five of the revoking of Catalonia Autonomy that is the constitutional sequence of events that must be followed all we know for sure now at this point is that the governments position in an interview given to us by one of its senior members is that theyre offering dialogue with no preconditions theyve come up with a kind of formula for mediation that doesnt look like its going to fly madrid has consistently refused any form of mediation mr rajoy said as much again in parliament there is though another little avenue which may have opened up and that is the idea of a Cross Party Committee in madrid. Well look at possible constitutional reforms in the way the regions are governed in other words the possibility of giving the regions including catalonia more autonomy that looks like a sort of enticement to catalonia walk away from independence and we can go down a constitutional avenue towards greater autonomy but that may well be a price too high for mr pooja amount to pay on his claim is to push that does seem to be in a rather difficult position right now hes damned if he does declare independence down if it doesnt. I think hes in a deeply an enviable position probably very deliberately placed there by madrid if he were to stand up and say no look it was all symbolic nothing serious in it well then he risks alienating the hardened secessionists here who he relies on the left wing parties relies on to give him his majority in parliament theyve been tweeting furiously of what a big mistake it was and tuesday night if he were to stand up though and say yes it was our intent to declare independence and we stand by it well then of course he risks section one five five and all the consequences that come with that he may well try to come up with another fudge in the days ahead there may well be mediation efforts going on we dont know all the while though these cracks of appeared and they will deepen in the Pro Independence coalition and madrid will be hoping that the more pressure they apply the more chance of the entire thing simply falling apart in china in barcelona thank you.
