Iraq declares its mission against the kurds in Northern Iraq accomplished and turns its focus now to the business of oil. And donald trump is embroiled in a new scandal over comments he allegedly made to the widow of a fallen u. S. Soldier will be live at the white house. Supporters of kenyan opposition have been rallying in nairobi on the day a Top Electoral Commission a quit to over the president ial Election Rerun hundreds rallied in the opposition stronghold of kabera to present a hurricane yet to announce the president ial poll will still go ahead. Election official resigned saying next week vote wont be credible. For us in nairobi noun for me to there mockable thing is that the chairman of the Election Commission has also said that a free and fair vote might be difficult what does all this mean while the implications for the upcoming Election Rerun. Are and i was unable to hear you at the end there but looking back at what the commission they eventually you backed up. The nation by one of the top leaders and the can is really that if the free iran will be the and credible. The president reiterate that the election would go ahead that the only. I think that theyre interested in what these comments coming from the Electoral Commission are certainly wiring for many kenyans the commissioner or rather the chairman was caving in his attack against the Political Leadership saying that in the here and in the operations of the commission that technically the commission is ready to hold these elections but if the political interference that would affect the credibility of the election we also know that the opposition has a boycott of the election at following on the following the ruling of the Supreme Court that they would be a rerun because they had found fault with the i. C. C. Previously around the august their president ial election so the opposition says they will protest on election day and the i. C. C. Has said its also important to look at the concerns of the opposition in that is with pool from the election and about six million kenyans wont have the opportunity to do both boys they all vote along the lines that they want to and this isnt something that should be ignored so theres so many questions arising around the credibility and legitimacy of this upcoming election that the government has a should go ahead and how would you describe million kenyans not want to that they think or at least their vote not being able to vote for the opposition because the opposition is saying they away they are questions being raised around you know the legitimacy of the election and what the way forward might they with the opposition then go to court or the latest stage and also what impact any sort of protest would have they are concerned by the Electoral Commission around the freedom they have to operate some of the allegations made by the commissioner whos now resigned is that even correct against her life or the lives of Staff Members and theyre concerned that if that polling stations will be open on the day in certain areas the decree opposition stronghold and it elections will go ahead.

And police in somalia have opened fire on a crowd of people to stop them protesting about saturdays deadly bombings in mogadishu demonstrations have been trying to reach the site of the attack. Now u. S. President is facing more control over his handling of the deaths of four u. S. Soldiers in an ambush earlier this month hes been forced to deny making insensitive remarks in a phone call to the widow of one of the men and White House CorrespondentKelly Holcomb is following this story for us and President Trump has been saying that the reported account of what he said is a complete fabrication what more is he said. Well hes spoken about this in just the last hour mariam and hes really continued to defend the comments that he made and the criticism that has really devolved into a bit of a he said she said with regard to the death of one of these four soldiers that was killed in his share earlier this month essentially the president one of the key roles of a president is often in times of soldiers death to be the consoler in chief to reach out via telephone perhaps by a letter to express condolences for the efforts on behalf of the United States that cost someone their life in this case there is a democratic congresswoman who was present with the widow of one of these soldiers when the president made that call and she is alleging that the president was rather harsh in his tone saying that the soldier sensually quote knew what he signed up for but when it happens it hurts this is something that the family of the soldier says is particularly insensitive disrespects the service of their loved one the president not only speaking just moments ago but also on social media is denying this is the case but essentially you have to remember in the United States gold star families of their called or other words families who have had a loved one who has died in service are really put on a special platform here in the United States and so even the suggestion that the president may have in some way been insensitive to these families is certainly hitting hard for most americans who feel that essential gold star families are untouchable when it comes to expressing sympathy theres only one approach and that is the most respect something that many fear the president may have not done correctly and so then what questions is the white house expected to face as this scandal continues to grow. Well essentially the president has said he has proof he didnt make these claims theres going to be an awful lot of questioning about where the proof is then i essentially the president said just moments ago that hes almost dared the democratic congresswoman to reiterate her claims will people are going to be saying president we need to see the proof then that you didnt say that because hes offered that up but the other question too is why these Service Members were an issue in the first place given the fact that it was known by Africa Command for the United States that in fact this was an area where there was insurgent activity also they were on a routine patrol they werent conducting any sort of special mission so theyre going to be a lot of questions about why they were in such a dangerous area and in an Armored Vehicle and why they were put in such a vulnerable position that led to the deaths of four very elite Service Members thank you very much can really help from the white house. Just internationally as accusing Security Forces in myanmar of killing hundreds of random muslims well then five hundred eighty thousand ranger fled violence in myanmar since august misty calls it a Systematic Campaign against the Muslim Minority and says Security Forces are raping and killing fleeing inhabitants setting fire to villages and burning to death the elderly the sick and the disabled is calling for an arms embargo on myanmar and criminal prosecution for its forces their challenge is travel to a refugee camp at the Bangladeshi Border with man law to see what conditions a lying. A list ten to fifteen thousand people are stranded here in no mans land or what is called zero line between myanmar and bangor those brought out this area. This baby will have fled man within the last two days that been stranded and has no safety to go to most of them people are exposed to weather the majority are woman and children and elderly people how the government has given permission to some of the aid agencies to bring Critical Care medicine and food but the idea theyre still taking shelter in the pedophile in a manmade dike just doesnt make sense are coming under critical review by the u. N. Agency and other International Aid agency that why are still kept we are on the border guard officer there were in the play going to shelters and could have prolonged and said we need a coordinated approach before we take them in that shelter in good appalling area still the idea this people are still here is a major question what is behind the motive of the government to keep them here still in a very badly expose weather condition.
