president kenyatta after two disputed elections sees a live pictures of that inauguration
ceremony which is about to get officially underway in nairobi the president arrived
just a moment ago and there was a national anthem of kenya sixty thousand people in the
stadium where they not here asian ceremonies happen in class or any stadium in nairobi
filled to capacity several african heads of states are among the dignitaries attending
including the presidents of south sudan uganda rwanda as well as zambia now this ceremony
follows as we've said for months of often a violent political are evil which left more
than fifty people dead the opposition leader in kenya right now has evolved to fight on
against kenyatta's presidency
while we're covering this story from both sides from a to miller is at a park in nairobi
where the opposition had planned to hold a rally but the police have stopped them from
coming in and force others away will be speaking to her in just a few minutes but first let's
go to catherine someone who's counsel ronnie stadium where the inauguration ceremony of
is about to begin we saw the president arrived just a short while ago catherine too loud
she is a big crowd cassani stadium tell us about the atmosphere where you are.
absolutely the president has arrived to a rousing welcome by more than fifty thousand
people very.
many many people aware.
that.
there are.
people very.
many many more people police have had to fly it got the out people.
right now the president inspecting that or not then it would be immediate.
then they'll be the one that is going to give a speech outlining the plans for you government
for the next five years.
because the legitimate president will be a lot of people you want an election that had.
an election that was not.
the people here to.
the president and the.
opposition and not just.
generally rich.
old.
between him and.
but right now.
you want to talk about the.
country.
and economic as well.
as we talk about those challenges that await him we continue to watch these live pictures
from that ceremony in nairobi the president making his way i've been a very shortly to
the sage where he's going to be.
sworn in in just a moment but first now being greeted by the god of honor there kenyatta
about to be sworn in for a second term in office talk us through a bit more catherine
about what we're expecting this ceremony to to to show us today he will give a speech
and everyone is waiting to hear of course what he will say whether there will be a call
to unity and there are loss of heads of state from the region attending this ceremony are
there.
thank you.
yes.
yes it does and the fact that you like to.
keep people on the right that is expected to talk about corruption how are you going
to deal with that and he has already been talking when it comes to you already talking
about how he was that unify the country that's going to be very a lot of people are saying
the economy that should be.
called the me being he not just by the election and not but also on the fact that my.
prolonged drought year.
that life has become very. didn't want to correct kathleen i'm going to interrupt you
for just a second standby we'll come back to you very shortly as kenya is sworn in but
i
want to cross over from it a million now another rock correspondent who is in nairobi a rally
which was planned by the opposition which isn't going ahead because a security force
i believe have stopped the protests is from reaching where you are from it and i see some
action going on behind you tell us about what's happening.
hopefully this is about the third or fourth time that police have moved in to the residential
area behind us every so often pockets of protesters gather they want to come into this area but
of course there's no leadership present yet from the national super alliance they were
meant to lead a rally of sorts a commemoration of people who'd been killed in recent days
or through protests they say the police are responsible for those killings but it continues
to be tear gas being fired ahead of me thick black smoke that's where protesters have a
lot tires and of also sealed off the greater area blocking off main roads to
these are jacaranda grounds these police determined to keep these demonstrators away from these
grounds are not allowing them to congregate here at all fully.
what is the opposition strategy going forward family.
well the opposition is said a number of things one major focus for them is this what they're
calling a people's assembly in individual counties across the country they say these
assemblies antal on to a parallel government but rather an alternative the issue for raila
odinga is that he's not willing to engage with president rouhani are to he says because
there's been no electoral justice the foundation of his complaints going back to the elections
way says they weren't free and fair they weren't adequate reforms and that's of course as we
remember that's why you withdrew from the presidential rerun
so the opposition using these people's assembly to make their voices heard also talking about
economic boycotts of major companies here in kenya effective that will be is not known
because these entities do enjoy huge support each commercial support from kenyans as well
as he says there will be a little some level of civil disobedience disobedience at this
point we continue to see these type of demonstrations can write a new one just about ten days ago
when a dingo returned to kenya after a visit abroad so these demonstrations certainly have
become routine and no one can really say it will come to an end anytime soon and they
highlight don't they the deep rooted divisions in kenya that are spawn for years now just
how dangerous a situation is kenya facing even if these demonstrations continue if the
political crisis drags on.
well those divisions are
a mix of political economic and ethnic people very much on the sidelines i think of kenya's
economic development not benefiting as they would like a complain that this is because
of their ethnic of because of ethnicity very much linked to that of raila odinga coming
from the same ethnic background and saying they've been sidelined for a long time now
they say that president toured can yatta also his father before him that people of kikuyu
origin have dominated the political scene also the economy and this is what people are
very angry about they say they've been marginalized and they want more of a say in terms of what
happens going forward and it appears also that these are if the divisions that are exploited
to their advantage of various and leadership this is to be has been calling for unity we've
heard that from the government in the last few days calling for people in areas like
this impoverished areas essentially
calling for them to not attend any of these rallies calling for them to be united with
all kenyans as a work in yard to is sworn in for his second and final term ok thank
you very much for that family life for us in nairobi let's cross to.
ration ceremony he's about to take the oath of office right now what's happening i believe
is an elderly giving a blessing an elder sorry i giving a blessing to the ceremony which
is about to begin catherine soy is set for us. at casa ronnie stadium talk us through
what's happening right now catherine we see a lot of people stepping up to the microphone
there are they giving prayers ahead of the official ceremony.
they are all out of a little hole look a little longer left holding and let a look maybe a
little them a little.
a little.
come on you want to even let
a little negatively. or a lot of people are.
really.
what you want me to do about it so people think that he needs.
that we all.
need the money.
borrowing to do big infrastructure projects the.
project that the president you.
think that you know that.
thinking deeper into debt it's not sustainable in fact the government has downgraded the
economic growth.
to five point one from five point nine per cent back to twenty seven.
so people look at that and they say that there
needs to be a balance between projects and helping people provide their livelihood helping
people manage the cost of living people need to feel that their lives are improving and
right now they're saying that their lives are not really improving catherine soy in
nairobi stadium will leave it for now catherine as religious leaders continue to give blessings
and prayers for this oath of office that's about to begin.
is about to be sworn in for a second term when we turn to the ceremony in just a few
minutes when the president takes his own thank you for the moment catherine let's move on
to other world news now and at least nineteen people have been killed by syrian government
as strikes in a rebel held enclave on the outskirts of the capital damascus this is
the second attack on eastern in forty eight hours yeah sound regime has increased strikes
ahead of the eighth round of the geneva talks aimed at ending conflict the. and
even though the talks are set to begin imminently the u.n. says yet to receive confirmation
that the government delegation will be there from geneva here's our diplomatic editor.
peace talks in geneva was supposed to stop this bloodshed.
but as we've seen many times before the time table of failed diplomacy is actually creasing
the agony of the people of syria.
parts of aleppo province. and the outskirts of damascus bombarded the assad government
has been intensifying its onslaught in the days and hours before talks due to start.
assad didn't leave a single corner that hasn't been destroyed if you want to fight it don't
target civilians instead take on the armed groups at the front lines god willing they'll
teach you a lesson briefing the u.n. security council in new york the man who's supposed
to lead the talks on tuesday
stefan demas stora condemned the violence he noted that the syrian government had perspire
its travel to geneva but he said they needed to attend naturally we hope indeed expect
that the government will be on its way shortly but to get an idea president of commitment
to break that in putting when they met in sochi that meeting part of intense diplomacy
in recent weeks the russians who turned things around on the battlefield for assad are supposed
to bring the syrian government to the geneva table and the saudis created a new opposition
group ing to go to the talks out are key players like former leader riyadh his job in a figures
closer to moscow some of which were previously even to write it as a sad stooges.
a number of western diplomats have told me they're concerned about the way stefan de
mistura is handling this process they fear it's becoming russian
flavored with a focus on a new constitution and elections rather than on political transition.
zira geneva.
there is a summit been javid has been speaking to people in three areas of syria to hear
about their expectations from the talks in geneva. when there are no place in the sky
and there is less fear of forces invading you there is hope all around you in this particular
town in northern syria this is jobless and people are trying to come back and review
their lives but when it comes to talks in geneva they are not very hopeful they say
this is the revolution that they began and it has been taken away from them and the world
really doesn't care.
i'm in syria and they call me a refugee what can we want from the talks.
as long as assad remains geneva doesn't mean anything.
they show solidarity with syrians but in reality they're all
complicit and involved in the destruction of syria we just hope the siege can end.
our hope is with god not russia or iran. and. we hope this round could be a new beginning
because of the major changes before the geneva meeting we see the meeting in geneva whether
it's the eighth or the tenth or the twenty fifth round of talks there are all the same
there is a lot at stake at these talks opposition leaders have been telling us that they're
fearful that if the united nations fails yet again to come through its solution to provide
a long lasting peaceful terms that all sides can agree upon they will be forced to go to
work for she and the russian solution when they feel that russia will undermine the role
of the united nations as it tries to bring its own version of the solution for syria
which are literally side in power and many people here will tell you that this is something
that they do not want.
amnesty international says
is tainted new internal documents and evidence from energy giant shell the rights organization
says the materials point to shows complicity in crimes committed by the nigerian military
during the one nine hundred ninety s. they put out a report which says that shell and
the nigerian government operated as business partners having regular meetings to discuss
the protection of their interests at the time protests by the ogoni people of southeastern
nigeria were taking place in response to years of oil spills which devastated their environment
documents show that on october twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred shell requested
security protection to subdue peaceful demonstrations over the next two days police of time to know
goni village with guns and grenades killing at least eighty people and burning or will
six hundred houses or a spokesperson for shell in nigeria has provided a statement to al-jazeera
saying that we have always denied in the strongest possible terms the allegations made in this
tragic case it goes on to say amnesty
international's allegations are false and without merit shell did not conclude with
the authorities to suppress community unrest and in no way encourage or advocated any act
of violence in nigeria while mark dummett is a researcher at amnesty international he
says there are grounds for a criminal investigation against the company.
the evidence suggests or points to doesn't point to any direct involvement by a shell
staffer for michele staff i mean these were horrific crimes including murder torture rape
and the destruction of villages these were carried out by members of the nigerian military
but the internal shell documents show that throughout this period the company was encouraging.
the the nigerian military government and the military unit involved to take action against
these protesters even after the company knew what was likely to happen i just want to give
you one
concrete example we one of the documents that we've we've got is a shell internal memo dated
the third of march one thousand nine hundred ninety four and this memo authorized the payment
of around nine hundred dollars to a military commander and shell explains that this payment
is partly for a sustained favorable this position toward shell in future assignments in other
words this payment was partly for future assignments now just days before this payment was made
this military commander who received the nine hundred dollars had opened fire on unarmed
protesters outside the front gate of shells headquarters in port harcourt and months later
was responsible for the brutal crackdown in the goalie land and that's one example of
many that we have.
