A shock here in the south is here live from doha also coming up spain gives catalogs political leaders and ultimatum to declare their intentions on independence by next week. Canadas Prime Minister visits washington in a bid to save a longstanding trade deal. And in the dispute over the arrest in turkey of a u. S. Consul employee senior politicians from both countries played down the rift between nato allies. And kenya amid deepening confusion over the repeat president ial election scheduled for october twenty sixth the latest crisis comes after the withdrawal of main opposition candidate rial oettinger who is demanding Electoral Reform he lost to her kenyatta and august selection but that vote was nullified by the Supreme Court to irregularities. The real miller has the latest from the capital nairobi. 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 adding a supporters are divided on him dropping out of the race came the vote which he lost was. 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 think that is the best option but we are not but. Because of the pressure so you are out there that they are not happy to police fired tear gas at protesters and then. I really was i know. I havent. Done any reforms. 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 kenyatta to be named the winner. Twenty six and the president has about spades i mean. Space then its very easy to say that well have a president removed. And respect from all things 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 who are kenyatta 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 well cannot ascends he should be declared president or dingaan is pushing for fresh elections in a pronouncement i. Will not be believable on the conduct of the sea but they come back to the commission as its officials to be inspiring a clone. Whether its a faltering economy or an ongoing political feud all kenyans are guaranteed at this point is uncertainty i meet them alone aljazeera nairobi and angela niobe all is a writer and political analyst and nairobi she says the decision leaves the vote rerun up in the air before nine a. M. Today the law was on rayless side you dont just have to look at the constitution and elections are about kenyas elections actually governed by five different bodies of law and looking at all those things and together at least on paper by nine am this morning the law was on side and 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 do 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 their actions or and that basically throws right as gamble into disarray into disarray because its basically says. Instead of what the previous regime said which is what one candidate pulls out of a rerun we have to go back to nominations now theyre saying well well just do the same thing that we did in august 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. Spain has given the Catalan Leader karlas puts them on until monday to decide whether or not he has declared independence if catalonia does press ahead with suspects secession the Spanish Government says it will take away the regions political autonomy or insley has more 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 demands that their independence will happen the Prime Minister said you say it out loud and we will take back your power as no dice no deal and you have until monday. Youve held a Cabinet Meeting and weve decided the cuddling 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 separatists want to 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 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 you 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 protestors 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 Laurence Li Al Jazeera which it so where can catalonia scoreless puts them on from here. Excellent we dont know what hes going to say or when hes going to say it we havent a hint of what the governments position might be from an interview with aljazeera by a Senior Member of his coalition in which he basically says look what theyre offering here is dialogue without preconditions theyre talking about a framework for mediation that really doesnt have a lot of distance to travel because madrid has consistently said theres no place for mediation mr a hole in parliament reiterated that on wednesday afternoon there is however another avenue of talks which may have opened up that comes courtesy of the head of the socialist party the main opposition in madrid saying that hes reached an agreement with roy in the Popular Party to set up a commission in parliament to spend six months looking at constitutional reforms in the way that the regions are government but basically to give them more autonomy now this begins to look like a real enticement to the catalans to mr policeman in terms of saying there is a way for you to end up with a constitutional settlement with greater autonomy but the price for that will be to give up independence altogether and that is a price that may be too high for mr amount to pay. Canadas Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has wrapped up his trip to washington d. C. A visit dominated by the future of the north American Free trade agreement as President Donald Trump suggested that talks to rework nafta could fail and that mexico might be dumped from the three country pact but euro is off to mystic about the negotiations he says the meeting with went well the talks were held against the backdrop of another trade dispute over a hefty duties the u. S. Has slapped on canadian made airplanes alan fischer has more from washington d. C. With the forefront of talks aimed at drawing up a new north American Free trade agreement underway here in Washington Canadian Prime Minister justin to door came to meet with President Donald Trump but donald trump has been on the record since the moment he moved into the white house that he would like to see a new nothe agreement an agreement that has been in place for almost twenty five years and both canada and mexico see until this point has been walking relatively well but donald trump wants to see a new modernized agreement and Justin Trudeau says that is understandable and the second stance but well 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 at that point donald trump said whether or not there was a new deal really still is in the hands of the negotiator so 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 as close as ever 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 three governments to set a time scale of the end of the year to come up with a new nafta agreement Justin Trudeau will still believe that possible but he will go from here in washington to mexico will meet with the president to discuss the progress in the talks and what to do if it cant be an agreement. Now during that meeting the u. S. President denied reports he wants to dramatically increase the size of the u. S. Nuclear arsenal u. S. Media published the report citing three unnamed u. S. 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 they always use fake news by n.
