Tanks have been occupying key positions around the capital since the military takeover but theres been no violence and the situation is quiet. I was scared because i thought the army was going to cause havoc. But as you can see its peaceful in the country. Im with work and its business as usual paranoia is hurting anyone were just going amounts doing what we know many. Brits are doing i mean we are a bit uncertain about whats going to happen but we are still very much might. Move people at first but now everything is normal and its business as usual.

At least five people have been killed in the kenyan capital during confrontations between police and supporters of Opposition Leader raul odinga crowds turned out to welcome odinga back from a trip abroad the officers they used tear gas water cannon and even live rounds to prevent his convoy from making headway the Opposition Leader has been visiting the u. S. And britain to discuss kenyas political turmoil. It was a highly anticipated day for kenyas opposition supporters. Thousands lined the streets of the capital nairobi to well come right now dingell. The veteran Opposition Leader was meeting his followers for the First Time Since the disputed president ial election in october and despite Police Warnings against any gatherings the supporters were determined to make a celebration of his return. Which. The law says that people cannot go to the airport to welcome their leader we are waiting for dinner to come with good things right now we are waiting for what he has to say. The celebrations were short lived. The police launched an offensive against the opposition barring them from the city. Property was damaged people injured. And some killed. But the opposition was undeterred. Ive come to tell you that the time for the third republic has begun. The signs you are seeing are those of a government that has already fallen. Putting a has called for a National Resistance movement to protest the outcome of a repeat president ial election last month which saw incumbent president hu kenyatta win a second five year term. And for more lets bring in d. W. Correspondent cast one on one thought her standing by with the very latest from kenya catherine we are hearing at least five people died with allegations that Kenyan Police are responsible for those deaths what more are you hearing. Well what we know so far is that a sixth person succumbed to his injuries. Just the few moments back. Death toll is at six so this is basically the situation the situation its rather calm right now but with the level of violence we saw today there is that situation that we could see more tension in the country especially as the Supreme Court prepares to give a ruling on whether you know the election of incumbent president who was legal or not so thats what were waiting for and canyons of basically on edge but six people dead and opposition supporters say that they they had every right to to you know go to the streets and to welcome them he didnt and then to you know welcome home from from the from the trip that he had been given the situation so right now everything is ten and with the opposition isnt there out on the streets were looking at pictures actually of how that exactly played out what justification is being used there i mean this is a democracy that were talking about for police to use force against the leader of the opposition. Well its very interesting because the police insist that they didnt use live rounds they say that they were they practiced some sort of restraint compared to other situations but we did see we did see casings of blacks. In the in the area where the protests took place. Human rights. Human rights activists obviously up against the police saying that they shouldnt have done that we have had reports where convoy was attacked as well which also raises questions because the windscreen was cracked we dont know whether it was a bullet that was aimed at his car with kind of. A lot of people are saying that. And it could have been probably less heavy handed and he was less heavy handed the situation would have to that particular level. And that was an interview conducted a short while ago with catherine on one throw our reporter there in kenya lets get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world nato has apologized to president wretch of tire out of one of turkey over military exercises in which he was depicted as an enemy of the alliance air to water retaliated by withdrawing forty soldiers from the exercise in norway turkey has been a member of nato for sixty five years. The former head of the Sicilian Mafia toto rayna has died at the age of eighty seven he was being held in italian prison hospital where he was serving twenty six life sentences during the one nine hundred seventy s. And eightys he became one of the most feared godfathers of the cosa no struck crime family and is thought to have ordered more than one hundred and fifty murders. Germanys search for a new government has gone into extra time chancellor Angela Merkel originally said that she wanted an agreement by yesterday but marathon overnight talks failed to produce a breakthrough her conservative bloc is seeking a Coalition Deal with the probusiness free democrats and the greens well now they are back at the negotiating table hoping to avoid a fresh election. Another round of difficult talks at the c. D. U. Party headquarters the negotiators are coming off a long night with no concrete results much is at stake for you to reach an agreement could mean new elections but chancellor merkel says shes determined not to let that happen. Despite all the difficulties in these negotiations i am determined to form a government as mandated by germanys vote as they definitely wont be easy itll definitely be hard but its worth going into a second round of talks. By in a while so that this is. We all realize we have to make compromises everyone. So far that hasnt happened enough. This is especially applies to those who declare to the outside world that theyre making all sorts of concessions but from what i say mommy sit down together theyre not going to get some of his remarks clearly aimed at Germanys Green Party is a hoffa c. S. U. In the greens are at loggerheads on many key issues including migration and energy policy. But what we cant allow is that someone says i want discussed that you know everyone has to negotiate otherwise the talks dont make any sense. The fourth player in the negotiations germanys liberal f. D. P. Are also set on a positive outcome use a consulates a new coalition at a federal level in germany could mean a new beginning in terms of policy. And we hope very much as free democrats that the other parties are bold enough to try it and. The four parties had hoped to have already finished with negotiations but with one selfimposed deadline now missed many expect there to be moved long nights ahead. Lets get more now on these Coalition Talks were joined in the studio by christopher when he is a political scientist with the Free University and belin. So much for joining us this evening i have four weeks of political talks very little to show for it Fair Assessment and why is it so complicated we have now three maybe even four parties trying to come to an agreement they have some red lines that they are not willing to cross and that makes it very hard germany the powerhouse in the e. U. As we know the fact that there has been i mean there has been a government in place but it hasnt really had the mandate it has to really have the strength what do you think that that has done to the dynamic within the bloc i think for now it is ok i mean merkel still appears in you know International Events but i do think especially the plans for greater integration have been put on hold and i think especially for french elyse this has been a bit of a problem so there seems to be a number of really key sticking points when it comes to the negotiations can you just walk us through what those are and are they you know do you think that they will come to a consensus on them i do still think that consensus is possible but there is a lot of there are so many problems primary immigration finances and taxes energy and environmental policy to just name a few of them and they are still quite far from agreement there what are Angela Merkels options. Well she has to make this work i think because if she does not a single reelection or a new election would be very difficult for. Going into this election i mean it was widely speculated that she would indeed get a majority that was in fact the case although many people saying that she had a bit of a weakened position if new elections were to happen today who would be the winners who would be the losers and ultimately do you think it would cost her the chancellery. I think the clear winners would probably be the day because they thats that far right farai the party which is now in the parliament for the first time exactly i think the parties that are currently negotiating all come away looking quite badly maybe the s. P. D. Gets a little bit of a boost well as to whether or not and give america who will be the new candidate im not sure on the one hand if these negotiation fails it will weaken our position even further on the other and im not very sure that there is much of a replacement for her yet ok so thats perhaps the worst Case Scenario for aguilar lets go to the best Case Scenario now if a coalition is indeed formed a socalled Jamaica Coalition because of you know the various colors of the different parties they are the colors of the jamaican flag as well. How viable do you think that this coalition will be will they be able to govern i think once the Coalition Agreement is in place and if the party bases can be convinced of this it will be relatively stable german still likes debility and i think it would be political suicide to then torpedo the agreement after it has been agreed on. As to whether or not voters in the end will like it and a couple of years down the line they may or may not punish them for it its too far too early to say tired and tense negotiators tonight from these three parties still trying to work out a deal thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about whats at stake and what is currently on the table christoph and when political scientist with the Free University im broke. Lets time now for Business News how they are get us is standing by and you know when it comes to trucks theyre usually big polluters but maybe not anymore but i mean i mean not anymore sorry that is at least of tesla can go on with its plans its the next generation of electric vehicles after cars and busses the streets are ready for electric trucks at least thats what tesla c. E. O. Ulan musk is proposing last night he unveiled what is supposed to be a revolutionary range of products including a groundbreaking big semi truck and of course a new sports car. It was a big show for a big truck. Tesla vos iran must joke that this would be the most useful eighteen wheeler ever tweeting it could transform into a robot fight in the ins and even brew coffee and he said its built for the long haul. Now one of the biggest questions weve been asked about. Electric trucks is well how far can they go because well its perhaps a five hundred mile range. Thats about eight hundred kilometers the driver sits in the middle no need for different models with steering wheels on the right or left musk promised his electrode truck would be cheaper to maintain than todays diesels its set to hit the road in just two years but musk was coy about the price which logistics firms had been hoping to find out. Teslas car business has so far served a small niche small fast and expensive luxury cars thats where musk had another surprise up his sleeve the Second Generation of the tesla roadster the car the company was founded on the newcastle road there. We were fastest car production car ever made period. Even though the. Crowd here reacted so euphorically many experts in the field are skeptical tesla has a myriad of pressing problems above all the model three intended to take over the mass market instead of the fifteen hundred vehicles it expected to build tesla was only able to make two hundred sixty last quarter experts say some of them were badly assembled tesla has been in the red for years last quarter it lost millions of euros and just recently hundreds of workers were let go now more than ever the question remains can test achieve its goals or just a series of funny tweets and product presentations. Its an important question and we want to help us answer it thats why we have john here editor at green car reports dot com john thank you very much for joining us tonight the consumers are still skeptical at least here in germany when it comes to electric cars i have a hard time imagining an electric truck myself what do you make of this launch well i like her trucks already quickly getting established and say up to one hundred fifty kilometers this last serves two purposes teslas and missions to cover all segments of vehicles and it also distracts from the model three issues that you highlighted earlier. Now its one thing if you cant complete your sunday afternoon ride on a luxury tesla car its a whole other story when merchandise a refrigerated goods for example cant make it to their destination do you think Logistics Companies will risk using a tesla truck. I think pretty much all of them will test it at some point one of the largest Truck Leasing companies in the u. S. Has already said it doesnt think the tesla truck needs its needs on the other hand walmart the largest retailer here says already that its going to test the truck so i think there will be cautious footsteps the question i think around this semi is more the size and cost of the battery pack doing some rough back of the envelope math it looks like it needs a battery pack of something approaching one thousand kilowatt hours or about ten times the size of the largest model less battery pack. Battery costs are going to have to come down more for that to be price competitive on purchase prices although given the enormous expense not only diesel fuel but maybe once on heavy duty diesel vehicles clearly an electric vehicle even a long haul capacity would be cheaper to run per wander and this is all assuming tesla will have no problems producing these cars but we know that there have been a lot of hurdles there what do you make of those investor concerns if you will. I think they are by far the most important question for tesla right now i wrote this morning on green car reports that this was these two announcements while red meat for tesla as advocates and fans and owners are really something of a sideshow to the crucial question of whether or not tesla can get the model three into production within a matter of a few months in the volumes it anticipates there in the revenue it needs and at a high enough quality level where theyre not forced to do a lot of rework or recall the cars certainly no ones ruling that out but tesla has a long history of not meeting its promise production deadlines and having quality issues in the first year or so of its new vehicles and the model three is really the car that will take it from a small specialized niche maker into the higher end of the mass market so the model three is just vitally important and its very possible that tesla is going to have to raise considerably more cash although as someone pointed out if they get a thousand deposits at two hundred fifty thousand dollars apiece for their earliest edition of the new roadster that could help a little bit well see how that goes thanks very much John Faulkner for the analysis and speaking of the evolution of fuels theres been an angry reaction here in germany to the an ounce mint of job cuts and plant closures at engineering giant zeniths the company is highly profitable but says i
