Protests in kenya as a legal challenge to postpone the countrys president ial Election Rerun fails but not enough judges to hear the appeal less than twenty four hours before the polls open. And we shall carry this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up china indels its new leadership line up for their cementing the power of president xi jinping by not including a clear successor. Hiding down their weapons kurds say theyll freeze the results of a session vote and seek talks with iran plus. Downtown Atlanta Georgia im one of the creators of pleasure to be here today. Thank you for joining us from the u. S. Medical history in London Technology that stalkers around the world in one operating room. With. His president ial election looks like it will go ahead on thursday after the Supreme Court said there werent enough judges to hear a last minute petition against it the polls a rerun after the court and no president a hurricane jadas victory in the first election in august over irregularities Opposition Leader is boycotting the poll miller joins us now from the kenyan capital nairobi so for me the sounds unusual a lot of judges to hear this so where do things stand now. With just you know hours to go before the election is due to take place this really was a last ditch attempt to have the election postponed based largely on the Opposition Leader raila odinga not participating in the election and also statements by the Electoral Commission the chairman of that body saying that he couldnt guarantee that kenya would have a free and Fair Election in this a specific climate so essentially because these judges arent available to hear this petition the election does take place on thursday but right at the beginning of his address to the Supreme Court justice maraca had also spoken about the events of the last twenty four hours one of the other justices had her bodyguard a bodyguard of the justice was shot in an attack in a nairobi on tuesday night now that is police do say that this is they are investigating and this could be related to a robbery but they are a lot of questions being raised around why these judges arent available previously just as morocco had said that he judges often. A lot of pressure as well as political interference in terms of their duties in the Supreme Court so this is a very difficult time for kenya just hours before the election given that the Supreme Court has essentially found a way out of listening to this petition and making a decision on whether or not elections should take place and because they say they cant hear the petition elections do happen elections will in fact happen allowing the the Supreme Court a way out of a very sticky situation all right i mean miller life for us and i robi i mean a thank you Chinas Communist Party has revealed its new Leadership Team headed by president xi paying premier league was the only one to retain his spot in the seven man lineup but theres no clear successor to see what all Committee Members age at least sixty so that means they will take over at the next Party Congress thats in two thousand and twenty two further strengthening firm grip on power. That socialism with chinese characteristics has entered into a new era the new era must showcase these new faces i need to have new action in twenty eighteen we will have the fortieth anniversary of opening up it is a very important thing of determining the fate of china forty years of reforming and opening up has led Chinese People to their moderately Prosperous Society and are becoming richer and richer we need to draw from this experience and continue to modernize the governance system of china Andrew Thomas has more from beijing. The most significant point to make about this new lineup is that none of the men on the new Standing Committee is under sixty years old and that suggests that shooting paying has not chosen a successor he doesnt want to be eclipsed by the coming man during his term as president xi jinping himself fifty four was put on the Standing Committee none of the new members is under sixty what hes got around him are people who know him well one of the new members of the Standing Committee lee john hsu has been like that with president xi right back since the one nine hundred eighty s. When they were both young Party Officials in a province and the same to a lesser extent is true of the other members of the Standing Committee as well they are all loyalists to the president that suggests that president xi intends to be all powerful until twenty twenty two at least when his term as president comes to an end and potentially a leader in some form of to that hes already got his name in shrine to the constitution that happened on tuesday now hes got the people around him that he needs to stay all strong in china the Kurdish Regional government in iraq has suggested freezing the results of its session referendum which triggered a confrontation with the Central Government the kurds say theyre ready for talks with baghdad and they want to cease fire Kurdish Peshmerga forces have been fighting Government Troops near a key oil pipeline Stephanie Decker has more from near iraqs border with syria. Well its a very unexpected statement really because the k r g the kurdistan Regional Government has always said the results of the river and im were a red line the demand from baghdad was that the results needed to be in knowledge before any dialogue to take place so now what we have is an offer from the Regional Government here saying lets freeze the and i think this kind of language is important see what that means whether baghdad accept it lets freeze the results lets have an immediate cease fire and lets go into dialogue now let me just explain to you where we are which i think has some part of that we are in Northern Iraq of course but its at the point of triangle where there was fighting yesterday and i just behind us those mountains you see around two kilometers is syria and then a little further north you have turkey so this is a Crucial Point where there was fighting here yesterday morning just a little further about twenty kilometers down from where we are between iraqi forces the shiite militias and the peshmerga is a real concern that the plan was for the iraqi forces to come all the way up this border and essentially cut off the Border Crossing which is held by kurds on both sides and you have the iraqi Prime Minister today is currently on his way to turkey where hell be meeting with the turkish president he will then be going to iran these are two countries that are hugely invested in what has happened here over the last week or so so i think interesting now the ball is in about is to court were going to have to wait and see what his reaction will be to that offer from the curtis Regional Government here staying with iraq and Government Forces are launching an offensive to recapture the last part of iraq he territory still and i still hangs theyve been dropping leaflets warning civilians of this imminent assault i saw a suffered two major defeats in iraq in recent months after fierce fighting in mosul and how we each of the group holds territory in the west near the border with syria.
