Welcome to aljazeera live from my head and mill is a product also ahead spain gives scotlands political leaders an ultimatum to declare the intentions of independence by next week. I want to be very clear we dont want this dispute to last. More than a second. In the dispute over the arrest in turkey of a u. S. Consulate employee on course deputy Prime Minister seeks to play down the nato threat between the nato allies and canadas Prime Minister visits washington in a bid to save a longstanding trade deal. In protests in kenya and the deepening confusion over the repaired president ial election set down for the twenty sixth of october the latest crisis comes after the withdrawal of the main opposition candidate riley has demanded and that. Perform he lost a hookah yacht and all the selection which was nullified by the Supreme Court irregularities from the miller has the latest from the capital rivalry. Raila odinga supporters barely needed any prompting to return to the streets. They are demonstrating against Kenyas Electoral Commission which they believe wont conduct a free and fair rerun of this election. But are doing a supporters are divided on him dropping out of the race. Which he lost was. The Supreme Court laid to rule theyd been irregularities in how the vote was counted and incumbent were kenyatta and should stand in new elections you cannot go to an election. So i think of what i like i think that is the best option but we are not but. Because of the pressure so we are out there that we are not happy. Police fired tear gas at protesters and then. Nairobi was. Adamant. On any reforms. Election. Kenyas constitution is not clear on what happens once a candidate with flows from iran but parliament has now passed amendments to electoral laws that could allow kenya to be named the winner. Twenty six and the president speeds i mean thats based then its very easy to say that well have a president with. Respect from all pagans be 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 or a kenyatta as the only. Remaining candidates the winner of the rerun all Holding Elections and then declaring kenyatta the winner all holding fresh elections within ninety days with new nominations for president. Should be declared president ordering guys pushing for fresh elections in a pronouncement. To be believable and the conduct of. The conduct. Whether its a faltering economy or an ongoing political feud all kenyans are guaranteed at this point is uncertainty for me to aljazeera nairobi. As a writer and political analyst in my rugby and she says the decision theyve the vote for a run up in the air. Before nine a. M. Today the law was on rail this side you dont just have to look at the constitution and elections are but kenyas elections actually govern the by five different bodies of law and looking at all those things and together at least on paper by nine a. M. This morning the law was on the side what changed was the fact that we had another election petition filed by one of the candidates who conceded the august eighth election i could to a court and in that decision the high court basically said everybody gets to be on the ballot and we have the end with the candidates that we had in june and august version of the elections or and that basically throws right was gabble into disarray into disarray because its basically says. Instead of what the previous regime said which is what one candidate pulls out of a rewrite and we have to go bucs nominations now theyre saying well well just do the same thing that we did and all goes all over again and its not clear how the commission is going to move forward because these two pieces of law dont exactly read well together lets move on to other news now and spain has given cattle scotlands leader collis puja mom to until monday to say whether or not he has declared independence of catalunya goes ahead with secession the Spanish Government says it will take away the regions political autonomy long sleeve reports from the dreaded budget does not like being told what to do by the council and for once parliament is united as the journalist speculated the cabinets agreed the spanish line back against the catalan demands 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. Weve held a Cabinet Meeting and weve decided the cattle 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 if the five. So back it goes to barcelona madrid no society there is split some separatist wants a session now others a 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 we got the group of the elders with coffee with a banking on with that one to two 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 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 counts alone your clarify its position on independence as a shrewd one by putting the ball straight back in catalonia of course 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 protestors in barcelona go from here is a good question what good 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 Laurence Li Al Jazeera which it. Rex tillerson has called on turkey to provide evidence for accusations that local u. S. Embassy employees were linked to the two thousand and sixteen failed coup and express his profound concern over the rest the u. S. Embassy in ankara suspended most of these services after a staff member was detained over talley ated by canceling american existing visas and stopping issuing new ones dynasty book has more. Well Late Wednesday secretary of state Rex Tillerson said he wants to see evidence behind why two consulate employees from the u. S. Were arrested within the last year one of those employees was arrested just a little less than a week ago the turkish government said that he was a spy and claim that he was linked to a u. S. Based turkish businessman who turkey says was behind the failed coup a year ago now in addition to that the Deputy Foreign minister was visiting washington today he was meeting with the u. S. Chamber of commerce trying to reaffirm the relationship with the u. S. The u. S. Is a very strong trading partner with turkey the two countries do about twenty billion dollars you know bilaterally every year and trade seventeen hundred u. S. Companies do business with turkey he says its that both sides are very dependent on each other economically and he is hopeful that the two countries can get past this latest crisis you know want to be very clear we dont want these dispute to last more than a second. We respond that you know likewise because to a proud nation we are a sovereign nation. Its you know we seeing it you know to see these to be reversed now additionally defense secretary James Madisons hes continuing to work with his counterpart diplomatically on military operations in turkey he said that they are continuing to talk again he reaffirmed today that turkey is a very strong nato ally to the u. S. Turkey is also home to a very important and Strategic Air force base so everyone involved here is optimistic at least hopeful that this tit for tat so to speak over these pieces will be resolved quickly. Now u. S. President donald trump has denied reports he wants to dramatically increase the size of the countrys Nuclear Arsenal u. S. Media published the report citing three unnamed officials trumps acknowledged policy differences between himself and Top Republicans in his cabinet and congress but hes rejecting claims he saw a ten fold increase in washington stock of nuclear weapons. To senior senators in the u. S. Have criticized President Trump for a delay in implementing sanctions against russia in a joint statement republican john mccain and democrat ben cardin said the white house has yet to identify which elements of the russian state should be sanctioned despite and told the first deadline they say the delay calls into question the trumpet ministrations commitment to the sanctions bill catulus Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau has wrapped up his trip to washington d. C. A visit dominated by the future of the north American Free trade agreement u. S. President trump suggested that tough talks to rework nafta could fail and that mexico might be dumptruck the three country pact but trudeau as optimistic about the negotiations saying the meeting with trump went well the talks were held against the backdrop of another trade dispute over hefty duties the u. S. Has placed on canadian made bombarding airplanes ellen fisher has more from washington d. C. With the forefront of talks in drawing up a new north American Free trade agreement underway here in Washington CanadianPrime Minister dustins who door came to meet with President Donald Trump the donald trump has been on the record since the moment he moved into the white house that he would like to see a new nuff to agreement an agreement that has been in place for almost twenty five years on both canada and mexico see until this point has been working relatively well but wants to see a new modernize their agreement and Justin Trudeau a says that is understandable in the circumstances but while donald trump says he may want to walk away Justin Trudeau believes there is the possibility that they can come up with a new deal and he says its up to the politicians to convince people why it is such a good thing. Part of getting these trade deals to move forward requires us to get support public support for these trade deals and demonstrating that were hearing the concerns that people feel and responding to them i think helps significantly in making the case that trade can and will be good for all citizens before Justin Trudeau came here to the Canadian Embassy to address the media he was sitting in the oval office with donald trump point donald trump said whether or not there was a new deal really still is in the hands of a negotiator its possible we wont be able to make a deal and its possible that we will we have a great personal relationship and we have a relationship now as as two countries i think thats just one example but well see if we can do the kind of changes that we need we have to protect our workers and in all fairness the Prime Minister wants to protect canada and his people also the City Government to set a time scale of the end of the year to come up with a new nafta agreement Justin Trudeau we still believe that possible but youll go from here in washington so mexico will meet with the president to discuss the progress on the top of what to do if there cant be an agreement. Well i was there was political contribution Bill Schneider says the state of relations between the u. S. And canada doesnt bode well for nafta. A lot of Business People think that this is all a pretext for getting out of the nafta deal i mean relations between the United States and canada which are always assumed to be very close are probably at the poorest level theyve been in our lifetime for many decades and it took down trying to make that happen a lot of Business Leaders in the u. S. Chamber of commerce normally a staunchly Republican Organization things that trump is trying to use these negotiations as a pretext to kill nafta there is a civil war going on in the Republican Party between the president republican President Donald Trump and the republican establishment in congress the republican establishment is very close to business but this is a deal the nafta the idea of killing nafta is anathema to business it would create chaos in a lot of American Industries farming and particularly automobiles and they are dead set against ending nafta and you know who supports ending nafta labor unions who are not normally allies of any republican so the head on the bulletin of the decade since liberias civil war why some say they come out.
