And welcome to aljazeera live from my headquarters in doha with me elizabeth purana also ahead kenyas Opposition Leader withdrawals from the president ial election for you from a dentist says the Election Commission wont give him a fair chance a major color Immunization Campaign begins in bangladesh as for hunger muslims continue to feed myanmar and california assesses the damage as wildfires spread for the u. S. State third day. No news leader has stepped back from declaring and dependence instead calling for talks to resolve spains worst political crisis in decades. Did sign a symbolic declaration but its unclear if that has any legal status john holl reports from barcelona. He arrived at the Parliament Building bristling with expectation a heavy Police Presence hinted at the weighty announcement to come but carlos president of catalonia is Regional Government stopped short of a full declaration of independence. As president its my responsibility to declare that catalonia should become an independent state in the shape of a public. Should become the words greeted with rounds in applause in the chamber before the independent state party was put on hold. We asked the parliament to suspend any effects of the declaration of independence so that we can have dialogue and so that we can find the necessary solution we need to lower tensions and show our will and commitment to meet the demands of the catalan people the reaction in madrid came swiftly and this course not kaito your present day and age that the speech that the catalan president has made today is a speech by a person who doesnt know where he is where hes going or with whom he wants to go the government cannot accept that the catalan referendum be validated because its been suspended by the constitutional court. Having consistently refused to talk one centrist politician suggested the time may have come for the government to compromise i think the better way they can solve the problem is with that negotiation some kind as i said of mediation. A disappointment perhaps to some staunch the session is tonight would be their night but sweet relief to many who fear the consequences of an outright declaration of independence after threats from madrid and the flight of Top Companies from catalonia since the referendum on october the first. Baseman you because youre living. Alone or the faithful who gathered to watch the speech on the big screens left deflated but accepted it always was not lost im happy that hes given. In order for people things we really dont understand the situation what does it mean what the president just said so assigned declaration but independence deferred which demands speech stipulated no timeline for talks with madrid the drama of catalonia is independence that has played out in this Parliament Building for nearly one hundred years isnt over yet jonah hill aljazeera barcelona lawrence lee has more from madrid on the Spanish Governments response. If a couple of government thought that by extending the hand of friendship to spain as they would have put it they might have got the Spanish Government to reply in kind by green open negotiations it looks like that was a completely vain hope the response from the Spanish Government already tonight here has been assayed and immediate so they have said what on earth of the catalans doing announcing in the pendants and yet immediately suspending it they say has no legal basis a Popular Party the ruling Party Spokesman describe it to me as a joke and a farce he said there was absolutely no grounds on which they could negotiate at all then the deputy Prime Minister spoke and she said that there would be an emergency Cabinet Meeting on wednesday morning during which the Spanish Government response would be clarified and the Prime Ministers been meeting people from all the opposition parties to discuss a sort of power spanish parliamentary response to what the catalans of said now clearly the catalans hope that by acting in this way they will have some extent appease the European Union and the that they hope perhaps the European Union will now put some pressure on spain and say well look the catalans have done this now you must come to the table in the go see it in the same way but as is the moment there is no sign whatsoever that the Spanish Government to do anything of the sort well the news now and has been and not a twist in kenyas president ial election but opposition need to run a dental withdrawing from the village at the president says the poll will still go ahead and just over two weeks.

Almost foldable. Going to have to. Have a big liberal to come out. In this battle. Over themselves with the people ok. Weve got a new world of hurt. Believe that all reversed. But judging from the bench in front of the liberals did you. Talk. To. Opposition supporters have been staging demonstrations against the Electoral Commission. And calling for Electoral Reforms CommissionOfficials Say some of the opposition demands are and reasonable and there is simply no time to implement them the political situation in the country is worrying many im afraid of what fellas i think have moved on i am a strong feeling that. Theyve accepted that species. And that. In order to go on a conflict that. People would accept that and. Already. Everywhere everywhere kenya is in uncharted territory politically and constitutionally the law isnt clear on what happens in a situation like this the constitution does not envision an eventuality where no reelection is held within a sixty day legal timeline which expires at the end of the month lawyer save no election is held by the deadline there will be a constitutional crisis president who has been busy campaigning he says hes ready for an election with all without trial. Should he be declared the winner in induced anyway then the legitimacy of his presidency will inevitably be questioned many kenyans are fearful about what the political grandstanding between the two sides is doing to the country tensions are high the economy is struggling the country is very much in limbo catherine.

It is interesting that an ambassador in ankara makes decisions and says he is doing so in the name of his government if thats the case we have nothing to talk about with the high ranking officials in the United States but if thats not the case and the ambassador took this decision on his own they should keep that in basad or in that position even for a minute so did a better job bass go wrong well not so much according to the state department this was coordinated with the state department it was coordinated with the white house and courted ordinated with the n.

S. Based cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind last years failed since then authorities have invested at least fifty thousand people. U. N. Special envoy for yemen is accusing the countrys foreign leaders of pushing for power and wealth and state of peace its a why this proposing new talks to alleviate the deepening humanitarian crisis mike hanna reports from the United Nations this is now the greatest humanitarian disaster in the world thats according to figures presented to the u. N. Security council which indicates some twenty two Million People in yemen require immediate assistance there are now nearly one million cases of cholera and more than two thousand people have already died of the disease famine on an unprecedented scale is a real possibility it is the result of this crisis that has left some fifteen Million People lacking adequate access to clean Drinking Water sanitation and Hygiene Health services seven Million People are faced with the threat of famine and all of this is exacerbated by the largest single year cholera outbreak ever recorded the u. N. Special representative ismail. Insists that what he calls influential people are not interested in finding solutions as theyll lose power in any settlement in and worked out how to let you go. I request the Security Council to use all its political and economic power to exert pressure on all parties to commit to a path of peace all the parties must come out of their past and transpositions and put an end to hostile rhetoric instead of fighting over yemen lets cooperate for the best interest of the country. In the coming weeks a special representative will convene a meeting in london of the u. K. The u. S. Saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates which together with amman make up what is referred to as the quint charged with the renewing the long dormant political process in yemen the problem though is that two of these states a part of the Saudi Led Coalition and as such themselves parties to the conflict.

Fears of an epidemic nine hundred thousand doses of the vaccine have been prepared to protect local communities and the hang of refugees who fled violence and Mohammad John john reports from a refugee camp and coxs. For these or hinder refugees whove been exposed to so much violence and who still dont feel safe this is an attempt to at least keep them healthy. A massive Cholera Vaccination Campaign led by bangladesh is ministry of health and supported by groups like the World Health Organization and unicef the goal is to vaccinate six hundred fifty thousand people during the first phase many in this makeshift camp are happy its happening but say far more needs to be done. The water is too far away thats a problem and people are suffering there are just too many people here and thats why its so do everyone is getting seen. More than half a million refugees have fled from me and more to bangladesh in just six weeks at the sheffield like cut to camp the signs of overcrowding are everywhere. Aid workers worry that extremely unhygenic conditions in camps like this one could make an already awful situation even worse which in turn could lead to a full blown Health Crisis among the many causes of concern are thousands of diarrhea cases reported and treated just in the past week and when you see like thousands of people are suffering from the idea that actually gives you an indication that the locked us up my situation as well as less anguish and situation is not in good shape and if we dont react if we dont think the preventive measures things may go really wrong. Shortages of food water and shelter all indicate how dire things have become recently and we have just talked with a number of people and among nineteen out of them ninety percent have said that theyre leaving on a one minute pardon so the situation is really bad but everybody here down here is working really hard to make that humans. With very little clean water at their disposal life which is already hard only gets harder especially in such severe heat good obama made sure she and her children were vaccinated but that has done little to lessen her worries. Now that after home there are very few toilets here in a period of three to five days it becomes full and unusable it stinks or not there are too many people here we can live without eating once or twice a day but we cant live without being able to use the toilets struggling to survive is nothing new for these refugees and its likely their struggle wont end anytime soon.
