We dont know exactly what. We know is that. Yes actually since this morning hes been keeping everyone in suspense he started the day by posting on social media a picture of the building just behind me that is the headquarters of the Regional Government but no one has seen him here and then came the news from a. Newspaper that he was indeed. The first it was a media reports and then we had several people confirming that including a member of the Peoples Party of prime minister. Up to now no one has seen or heard from. It is fair to. Brussels is. Only one that was. Article one five five if you remember several of the embassies around the planet work.

Monday of course is the first working day with madrids now in charge. Any different. I would say exactly the same barcelona that was before the. This is the same one now there were a few steps that had to be taken on the article. For example the chief of police was. Pretty smooth the picture of. The headquarters of the local police has been taken down to the. Ministry for example in this building there are the chief. And the spanish flag which was expected thats after the regime. Would be put down but that has not happened and. Actually. Political parties including. Have agreed to take part. And that in itself is a. Recognition of article one five five and a recognition of the steps taken by the government in madrid. Thank you. Kenya election board has announced to her kenyatta has won the president ial election very wrong with ninety eight point two percent of the vote there was in the Kenya Opposition stronghold soon after the announcement was made the election board says the election was free fair and credible despite the vote being in some areas kenyatta also ran without a significant challenge of the opposition to run down to the turnout for the vote was just under thirty nine percent of nineteen point six million registered. President her kenyatta gave his acceptance speech in nairobi a short time ago. On the needle more west fifty million claims came along for all. Of these. Eight point four million years. To remain. On october twenty sixth. Ninety percent. Of all the same holders came on once again to support what. This. Was nothing more. Than a rehabilitation. This update from nairobi. This efficient announcement by the Electoral Commission has come as no surprise for millions of kenyans the commission had already said that. Was leading the race with ninety eight percent of the vote its now said of that the turnout for this election is set at thirty eight percent revised a number of times in these last few days which would be a concern for many kenyans around the mandate of the euro kenyatta and the gentleness of this vote this is of course of the the Opposition Party to this rerun they had argued that the Electoral Commission was unable to run a free fair and credible election theyd wanted a number of reforms and when this wasnt done they boycotted ultimately twelve million kenyans and didnt go to the polls on election day and at least six million of those people voted for the opposition in the august election so the concern here is that millions of kenyans didnt have the opportunity to vote because of violence and clashes wed seen especially in Opposition Strongholds the conditions under which the Electoral Commission had to operate elections didnt take place in at least four counties with the violence and the security concerns wouldnt allow the Electoral Commission to even a distribute electoral material the Commission Says they dont need results from these areas because the large margin by which we were kenyatta leads the course wouldnt be affected by an outstanding one point eight million votes ok still ahead on al jazeera going to have the very latest from the Federal District courts and the White House Briefing room on our top story this hour that is those grand jury indictments Donald Trumps former Campaign Manager plus.

The seventh round of talks aimed at ending syrias war have begun in the kazakstan capital delegates are expected to call for a ceasefire between Government Forces and rebel groups for at least six months the clearance of mines prisoner swaps and the release of hostages are also on the agenda two days of negotiations are taking place behind closed doors the talks are sponsored by iran and russia which support the Syrian Government and turkey which backs the opposition imran khan is following events in a sauna. The talk here in a start to continue on monday and tuesday the main thrust has been a technical aspect of the talks this is in regards to the deescalation zones that were created six hundred talks here in estonia in september its the guarantors of those talks that have been speaking today have been talking to each other today trying to figure out what role the take and thats russia turkey and iran however the Syrian Opposition are here as well and they have a very definite idea of what they want to have happen at these talks and what they want to take away from these talks first is the issue of the detainees or the prisoners or the people or almost three hundred thousand people taken hostage actually. And such an issue is beyond negotiations the second thing is the creation areas which are being breached by that are jim and iran on almost daily basis and russias are going to and its supposed to do something about that now whether they get those prisoner exchanges and anything else they want is likely up to the russians the iranians and the turkish and the talks that they have with the Syrian Opposition as well the Syrian Regime will be involved also here are the u. N. And the United States and jordan as an observer member or syrian Government Forces have stormed one of the last remaining neighborhoods held by isolate in the eastern city of daraa so ill have a dia is the most heavily populated area in the city still under the armed groups control the syrian army broke isis for years.

Wissmann is would be more in southwest england the last remnants of an ancient forest a ghostly relic of a time past that some in heart would like to see return britain was once covered in wilderness like this and in this wilderness it all manner of animals including baz wolves and lynx of course all those animals are now long gone hunted to extinction is the human population grew and cleared land for agriculture where there is a species that hasnt been seen for hundreds of years and has now returned and here in devon the fascinating evidence felled trees and downed waterways the trademark work of not only active beavers reintroduced after an absence of five hundred years now the focus of license monitoring trials at different locations in the u. K. Theyre really good engineers theyre also very industrious creatures as well as feeding theyre looking to maintain expand their landscape but the good thing about beavers is that its a landscape that suits lots of other animals too so its virtuous circle its what we call a keystone species the beaver it changes its landscape but it changes the wildlife as well that fills that landscape up such cautious monitoring of the beavers reintroduction is essential five hundred miles to the north in scotland the impact of unchecked beaver populations is a big problem for farmers this is normally a dry belt just in the ditch over here and they are trying to flood this area on a swathe of prime farmland across and beyond the group of b vision let loose illegally in two thousand and two its grown to an estimated four hundred fifty individuals it cost me four to five thousand pounds a year to degrees out because i have to hire an addict but when the water rises blocking out the drains causes flood damage into the fields which were trying to produce crops often produce food off.
