Everyone im. Live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes protests break out in kenya after its Parliament Passes a controversial election for. 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.

Japans kobe still is into crisis after it was revealed it falsified data on its products japans third biggest steelmaker has lost more than a third of its stock market value in a wreck hold today saw and Florence Louis has. Made in japan and now these brands share one more thing in common their customers of kobe steel the company has admitted employees fabricated data about product quality to meet customer specifications the government says its following the case closely. Although this was an agreement between private entities we think kobe still is misconduct was something that has shaken the foundation of business transactions the ministry is taking the situation very seriously kobe steel says two hundred customers in japan and worldwide including manufacturers of trains and planes have received falsely certified materials customers are checking whether they used substandard products and whether there are safety issues or not and yet more revelations mean the scandal could be wider than initially thought kobe steal it myths that the fabricated data affected not only copper and aluminum products but also ion powder which is mainly used in making automobile components kobe also admits that its launched an investigation into a Subsidiary Company which is reported to have shipped material used for making semiconductors to customers without inspecting them the kobe scandal is the latest to hit corporate japan faulty ags made by takata problems at the largest safety recall in history of the Auto Industry in june the Japanese Company has filed for bankruptcy misandry called one point two million vehicles last week after admitting unqualified staff carried out factory inspections. The scandals are seen by many as a further blow to japans reputation for Quality Manufacturing that reputation has allowed Japanese Companies to charge higher prices compared to cheaper competitors such as china not all analysts think the scandal is a disaster for japanese brands japan turns to have a lot of over spec right you know they really if you want to have the last three percent of perfection you have to go to a Japanese Company because theyre the only ones doing it while everybody else you know whether its korea whether its germany whether its india you know operates on minimum viable standard kobe still set the misconduct involved dozens of employees and as many as four factories and possibly going back ten years the full Financial Impact is still not known but it could be huge if customers request replacements the companys share price has already taken a beating on the stock market Florence Louis aljazeera tokyo. The World Health Organization is warning that the number of obese children in developing countries is soaring is has rates the worst of the middle East North Africa and parts of asia while levels among kids in rich countries appear to have peaked researches use data from the past forty years predicting that by twenty twenty two there will be more obese children and adolescents than underweight ones in one hundred seventy five there were one hundred million obese adults around the world the study published to coincide with world obesity day found that by twenty sixteen that number had jumped to six hundred and seventy one million by the end of last year there were fifty million obese girls and seventy four million obese boys in the world. Lets save the story because im joined now by tom fry who is the chairman of the National Obesity forum here in the u. K. Could have you with us in the studio at some of the figures is in this report all staggering especially the increases that were seeing in places like asia and the South Pacific those developing countries why the developing areas now struggling with obesity basically because a lot of people look at the west and they say thats what the west do we want wed like the west and they they do not realize that in fact the western food is less than healthy result is they get fat and of course if theyre not exercising and theyre not burning off the calories thats a sort of double minus if you will so its really the food that the west has been consuming what over the last forty years so i guess youre talking about the fatty foods. The red meats things like that are now being a now becoming more available to those in the developing countries its more processed made sure and the good thing about processed meat is that you can mass produce you go from the world with it and this is why some of the big corporations are hugely rich as a result of just pummeling in all the healthy food to areas of the very cheap price and therefore if you will its extremely interesting for the families to buy it the second problem is that its laced with sugar and fat and sugar and fat excite the appetite and so you got a couple of real minuses to combat and you talk about exercise i mean the more Technology Children seem to have access to the less likely they are to exercise again i guess it means that if new technology is now available in some of those developing areas that children who used that were forced to play outside now have the access to be able to play inside and not actually move salute i mean i travel quite a lot and i remember. About ten years ago being in kazakstan. Kazakstan is not the richest country in the world and even in the poorest there. Areas there were boys playing with their game boys and everything and its just amazing the way which technology has taken over and of course its tremendously exciting and children excited by exciting things and they feel that the technology was boring and flattened and everything they wouldnt touch it but its the its the imagination of the characters and animations which really grab them and thats there ready for them i mean what can be done in the west as you know weve been sort of battling this and talking about it for the last twenty or thirty years there is always this argument whether or not the government should be interfering should it be taxes all sugary drinks and food some people say thats it you know against peoples freedom other people say well if the government has a right to do that because their Health Service is having to pay for the effects of obesity what do you think well when you look at the cost of obesity and all the comorbidities which go with it which in this report as far as the United Kingdom is concerned is thirty one billion pounds every year then in my view the government really is about to take a grip because thats a loss to the exchequer which is unbearable. I think that the government really has to now start to get tough with the Food Industry the Food Industry has had its own way year after year after year and unfortunately governments have sometimes bowed in front of the Food Industry because its a huge employment industry and they have said ok fine we will do what we can but that been transcended particularly i think in terms of the moment where George Osborne and the United KingdomParliament Said totally unexpectedly we are now going to impose a levy on industry and for the first time industry really sat up and take notice because he was absolutely firm about it what it is to tell industry actually you can make a. Army by producing better and less harmful food and a lot of big firms are saying fine well cut the sugar out and well still maintain a good income flow to riffing because that means the consumption of sugar is going right down the other thing is that we are now looking at a twenty percent reduction in food stuffs by twenty twenty ten years ago that would have been an impossibility now industries starting to say yeah i think we can manage that they wont achieve the whole thing by twenty twenty but they wouldnt be itll be in the right direction tom really good to have you with us thank you so much for coming in thank you for your work south sudan is hosting its first ever International Oil conference but its president has been in a show salva kiir was expected to address the gathering which has failed to attract investors from Large Global Energy firms the country is going through a fuel crisis despite having billions of all barrels in reserves but with no functioning power great petrol is being sold on the black markets at a cost not all can afford it morgan reports from the capital juba. This may not seem the best way to prepare for exams but now i think peter says its the only way her brothers them study she says fuel is too expensive for her family. Because theres no power in the house so we use candles we cant pay for the fuel that is used to run the generator in our neighborhood fuel is expensive and comes from the black market its cheaper to get candles spears but for day south sudan has the largest oil reserve in africa according to experts but it has no means of processing its own oil instead it relies on its neighbor sudan to do so but two years of war and low Oil Prices Last here has damaged the economy this has resulted in hard currency crisis making it hard for traders to bring in fuel most suppliers now prefer just of private sectors leaving many stations in the country empty despite the shortage of few electrical stations you can find info on the sea from recycled Water Bottles but at a price eight dollars a gallon about forty third thats nearly ten times more than the official price of seventeen cents at petco face. There are government subsidies on imported fuel but because the black market is more profitable subsidies along with other issues are contributing to the country shortage few shortages its because. Were subsidizing his expression you know the fuel is being subsidize. That is one issue that we are facing. Every three months i give them said to me. Smuggling fuel part of the country and there are people who are actually taking the fuel to the black market so that they make more money and this is the work of the police and the National Security to address it so that they stopped not its those who are actually doing illegal activities like trading with fewer lawmakers have recently proposed lifting the fuel subsidies but some analysts say if the government does this the Short Term Impact will be damaging could have an impact on you know income. Of them lose because the front support will be skyrocket although it is the movie but it has to be because the viewer is not available but the subsidy at least keeps the dome and or might be diluted the food items and other essential supplies may also increases in prices now think knows she cant afford the cost a few but she hopes it doesnt do an extent to do one thing that lights her home at night and force her and her family to live in darkness he will morgan aljazeera juba or i still ahead so on this new a major gauguin exhibition opens in paris but why his work in polynesia is still a source of controversy in france. And the small success for rafa nadal in china on that more sport of pisa coming up.

A. Celebrates one of the worlds most famous postimpressionist city are not heard his are totally surprised it was like nothing else at the time it was without concessions it was wild in fact he often called himself wild it really shocked people some people supported him but it wasnt until the start of the Twentieth Century that people realized he was such a revolutionary. Gogo was fascinated with tribal arts and other cultures when success in europe eluded him he left for frances colonies in the South Pacific its a period that has come to define him but not without controversy the paintings created by go into haiti are some of his most popular he was obviously captivated by the people and the colors but some critics say that this period of his life has become so romanticized in france the perhaps it ignores some uncomfortable realities. Tahiti was under French Colonial rule and the artist enjoyed many of the systems privileges he married a thirteen Year Old Girl and had numerous lovers of a similar age but these aspects of gogos life are rarely discussed in france. A new film about his time in thai he has been attacked by those who say to avoid some hard truths. Professor starrs x.
