Stadium at the inauguration ceremony of the horror of kenya bring in another of our correspondents in nairobi she is at a park where the opposition is planning to hold a rani today to protest against a working out is inauguration i understand that theres been some violence said because the protesters are being kept from reaching the area where you are tell us about what is happening. But were on the jacaranda grounds fall in this is where the opposition had wanted to hold this rally commemorating supporters who had been killed in recent days the opposition says by police and thats the concern from many of the protesters who have gathered here on the outskirts of the sir jack aranda ground theyre worried about Police Response but let me just step out of shot for you to get a better idea of what it looks like theyre just a couple of police in this area but deeper in him because he in the residential area there are dozens more they have continued to fire tear gas theyre trying their best to prevent these demonstrators from entering this area the demonstrators weve spoken to when when weve gone out had said that they want to see a dingo sworn in they say hes the rightful president they dont believe this was a legitimate election and they believe that raila odinga is being cheated by kenyatta theyre very angry and theyre prepared to stay out here as long as it takes they believe that he should come to this area to be sworn in these are opposition protesters though the same because the area is is a very poor one where were talking to people who are very angry not only about the political situation but also the economic reality that theyre facing and this is where youre seeing the opposition garnering a lot of support these opposition supporters believing that raila odinga and the National Super alliance would provide an alternative that would improve their lives kenya farmer has a deep rooted divisions spanning years just how dangerous a situation are we facing right now if these protests by the opposition continue if this crisis drags on. On one hand we have the inauguration of a guru kenyatta and some would think that i would bring some level of stability to a situation thats been quite volatile over recent months but we continue to see the opposition rallying their supporters continue with demonstrations we see people in the area very angry looking for an alternative the opposition is saying that it has a plan Going Forward and this will continue to create this old can continue to entrench this division between opposition supporters those that support the ruling party to believe and and often this is along ethnic lines and that is the concern for many many commentators weve spoken to many analysts who say that the issue at the moment is not just one of an election even one that may have been rigged and thats according to the opposition but its about the great issue of democracy the independence of institutions like the Supreme Court which ruled of course after the rerun saying that who can you not to should indeed be sworn in as president he rightfully won that election so there are greater issues that kenyans are looking at and so the tosca here for kenyatta really is quite massive looking at the economic and political challenges Going Forward and an opposition that is determined to maintain a presence and remain valid. In nairobi thank you very much indeed for that the challenges are indeed enormous for kenya as hes about to be sworn in for a second term in office these are live pictures from that inauguration ceremony which is your to begin about an hour or so i understand now. Im. Being sorn in after a better president ial Election Campaign well bring you that inauguration ceremony when it gets under way officially when or kenyatta is sworn in and when he makes his speech to the kenyan people or bring that to you live here on aljazeera lets move on to other world news now and at least nineteen people have been killed by Syrian Government air strikes in a row.

N. Says its yet to receive confirmation that the government delegation will be there osama bin job it has been speaking to people in three areas of syria to ask them about their expectations from the geneva talks. When there are no place in the sky and there is less fear of forces invading you there is hope all around you in this particular town in Northern Syria this is. People are trying to come back and resume their lives but when it comes to talks in geneva theyre not very hopeful they say this is the revolution that they began and it has been taken away from them and the world really doesnt care. Im in syria and they call me a refugee what can we want from the talks but. As long as assad remains geneva doesnt mean anything. They show solidarity with syrians but in reality theyre all complicit in involved in the destruction of syria we just hope the siege can end. Our hope is not russia or iran. We hope this round could be a new beginning because of the major changes before the geneva meeting we see the meeting in geneva whether its the eighth or the tenth or twenty fifth round of talks theyre all the same there is a lot at stake at these talks Opposition Leaders have been telling us that theyre fearful that if the United Nations fails yet again to come to its solution to provide a long lasting peaceful terms that all sides can agree upon they will be forced to go to word sortie and the russian solution when they feel that russia will undermine the role of the United Nations as it tries to bring its own version of the solution.

Is a dialogue could be worth leading to some of the confusion online about people saying they dont actually know whats going on join the conversation at this time on aljazeera. A reminder of our top stories on aljazeera kenyatta is expected to deliver a message of unity when he is torn in shortly for a second term as kenyas president the ceremony follows four months of often violent political upheaval supporters of Opposition Leader right now danger of organized protests rallies to coincide with the inauguration ceremony but have been blocked from gathering by police. At least one thousand people have been killed by Syrian Government. The assad regime has increased such attacks ahead of the eighth round of geneva talks aimed at ending the conflict the u. N. Says its yet to receive confirmation that the government will be there and a leftist television whole season course where a surprise victory in honduras this president ial election salvador nasrallah has almost a five point lead over incumbent juan orlando have nine days with most of the votes counted. Returning now to kenya and kenya. After. What was a very bitter president ial Election Campaign lets just remind you of how we got to where we are today kenya i was declared the winner of the first election in august the Electoral Commission reported that he received just over fifty four percent of the votes is rival ryan odinga had forty four percent but odinga never accepted that any took his objections to the Supreme Court which an old the result citing mistakes and failings by the lecturer Commission Judges ordered a rerun within sixty days not long before that rerun right no danger withdrew his candidacy say he still didnt believe the Electoral Commission could ensure a fair race so all kenyatta had no trouble winning the rerun getting almost all of the ballots cast however only thirty eight percent of voters turned out there were big protests and violent clashes between police and supporters well for more on the situation in kenya lets bring in philip xiv he is a lecturer in political comedy communication at the university of eldoret and he joins us via skype from nairobi thank you very much for speaking to us so oregon yet is going to be inaugurated today for a second term he has the constitutional mandate but does he have in your view the popular mandate is he going to lead a legitimate government thats going to be recognized and accepted by all kenyans. Thank you very much i think today you secular the culmination of a long political process remember the political process started in may. And several several times elections just been called. Shoe rightly say. Kenyan president ial candidates at an opportunity again on twenty six. November right. October yes but despite looking ahead to the reader and yet we know what we know whats going on for these past few months just looking ahead how difficult is it going to be for president kenyatta to unite our kenyans after this very bitter president ial Election Campaign i think to be the speech of the president after you sworn in will be mainly to unite kenyans and also the issue of creation and also. Its blueprint to move can afford remember in this fast. And i joined on so is going to continue that by gender even in the next four year term the. Kenyans whether you work for you cannot or not. The president will really now become the president of the republic of kenya. Because we need as was inaugurated today were seeing protests in nairobi at the same time protests called by reloading and the Nasa Coalition kenyans many kenyans are still unhappy about kenyatta election for a second term and weve heard raila odinga threaten a campaign of civil disobedience an economic boycott and so on this is a country that looks very much divided today so what exactly can the president say and do to united. I think kenya and kenyan election is by nature a very competitive election and the outcome is that theyll be all we know and theyll be a looser so the weve lost. Text groups and that is what the new can have to do made be during the formation of his government he is intending to do to form an all inclusive government and also. Remember hes been given enough cash and so well that you voted for the president or not every county. Actually. For the county ok thank you very much for speaking to us philip zele chapman a lecturer in political communication at the university of adelaide the Deputy President of kenya. Has just arrived at casa ronnie stadium william ruto arriving just moments ago for the inauguration ceremony of. His running mate both men being sworn in now for a second term in office william ruto arriving just a short while ago running around now and im a Senior National says its obtained new material pointing to energy giant shells complicity in violence against protesters in nigeria the case a span to the one nine hundred ninety s. When Police Attacked a village killing at least eighty people the Rights Organization says internal documents and evidence shows shell had requested for protection to subdue demonstrations against years of oil spills a spokesperson for the Nigerian Company for shell in nigeria i should say in a statement to aljazeera has denied those allegations the spokesperson for shell provided this statement saying that they have always denied in the strong is sponsible turns the allegations made in this case it goes on to say Amnesty Internationals on occasions are false and without merit shell did not collude with the authorities to suppress community on race and in no way encouraged or advocated any act of violence in nigeria when i speak to mock dummett now who is a researcher international and joins us from london you heard there the denial from shell tell us more for us about the evidence that you uncovered that links shell to the Nigerian Military campaign to silence the ogoni people in the one nine hundred ninety s. What role exactly did shopping. Well many thanks for having me on over the past year my colleagues and i have reviewed a massive cache of archive material including thousands of pages of internal shell documents and witness depositions the former shell executives gave as part of us Legal Proceedings against the company some years ago we looked at this material which also includes. Evidence that research that amnesty conducted in the one nine hundred ninety s. And are going to land and having gone through all this material and pieced it together. We found disturbing evidence that shell officials. Were complicit with the Nigerian Military as they launched a crackdown against the ago only people and just to correct you there it wasnt just one incident against one village but this was over a series of years in which the ago only people having launched protest against shell in the nigerian state complaining against among other things the appalling Oil Pollution in the region and they blocked Oil Production the Nigerian Military then went in and there was a brutal crackdown in which hundreds of people were killed now weve looked at the documents and were saying that the governments in one area and in the netherlands in the u. K. Which is where shell is headquartered need to launch a criminal investigation against shell but when you talk about complicity what exactly are are you talking about and was it a direct or indirect role that was played by shell. The evidence suggests or points to doesnt point to any direct involvement by a shell staffer for michelle staff i mean these were horrific crimes including murder torture rape and the destruction of villages these were carried out by members of the Nigerian Military but the internal shell documents show that throughout this period the company was encouraging. The the Nigerian Military government and the military units involved to take action against these protesters even after the company knew what was likely to happen and i just want to give you one concrete example we one of the documents that weve weve got is a shell internal memo dated the third of march one thousand nine hundred ninety four and this memo authorized the payment of around nine hundred dollars to a military commander and shell explains that this payment is partly for a sustained favorable disposition toward shell in future assignments in other words this payment was partly for future assignments now just days before this payment was made this military commander who received the nine hundred dollars and opened fire on unarmed protesters outside the front gate of shells headquarters Port Harcourt and months later was responsible for the brutal crackdown in the going around so you know thats one example of many that we have ok so you believe that they are grounds for a criminal investigation here but as you know theres been several cases against shell relating to its activities in one year in january most recently that that there was a court ruling that shell couldnt be sued in london for our you know the oil spills in nigeria how confident are you that you know any investigation is going to lead to justice being done. Well you right there have been many legal cases brought against shell here in the u. K. In the netherlands and also as i mentioned in the u. S. Thats because you know the people affected by shells operations in nigeria including the spills and and these Human Rights Violations in the ninetys feel that they cant find justice in nigeria so theyre forced to come here i mean actually you know lawyers for those communities are appealing that decision you know. You know we feel that you know not only do those victims deserve justice and if they cant find it in nigeria then they have an absolute right to come in and seek to find it here in the u. K. Or or the netherlands but also the documents that we have gone through demonstrate that executives at shells headquarters here in london and in the hague were aware of what was happening in nigeria and this isnt just something that concerns shells nigerian subsidiary which is what the Company Always wants to say right this is something that concerned Group Headquarters ok thank you very much for speaking to us mark dummett from Amnesty International joining us there from london thank you for your time ok valleys International Airport is closed for a second day as mount are going scuse volcanic ash up into the atmosphere posing a danger to our craft massive plumes of dark small have gone up as high as three kilometers Officials Say one hundred thousand people on the island need to be evacuated from a danger zone around the volcano indonesias Disaster Agency has also warned of big eruptions and cold lava flow.
