Looking up. To the people we all believed in areas that. You did. And he. Was going. To be one of you to be carried to reach out to the opposition to reach out to people who dont really feel that they are. Going to make you. Think a lot of people say to you that you dont. Catherine saw a at cassani stadium thank you lets check in with the miller now who was not far from where the ceremonies taking place in another area of nairobi where the opposition was planning a rally earlier today to protest against aurukun yachters inauguration but they have been preventing prevented rather from reaching the place where they wanted to hold that ronnie by the police from the miller is there for us even as a war kenyatta is being inaugurated even as is sworn in lot of questions about his legitimacy and were seeing that today with these protests on the day hes inaugurated. Thats always been the question throughout this election process especially after the first election which was by the Supreme Court in the rerun at least six Million People stayed away from the polls after the opposition called for a boycott so once it was declared that. Had who won that election those questions resurface considering that only thirty eight percent of kenyans turned out to vote now here in and because you where we are we still hear Police Shooting firing tear gas at protesters they have come forward in pockets and then they disperse and so theres a large amount of people at least here specifically there are unhappy with the swearing in they say that victory was stolen from the man that they stand behind raila odinga. Nasser the Opposition Coalition led by violent have said they would keep going with these protests have talked about civil disobedience they have talked about an economic boycott but i wonder. From a how much how long how long can they keep these protests going isnt there as sense of fatigue perhaps among kenyans who are tired of seeing these ongoing protests who just want to move on with their lives. This is actually a number of kenyans who really just want this to be over its two elections in three months of campaigning period that went on and on these protests that disrupt life in nairobi in the Central Business district is disrupted people from making a living its really had quite a negative impact on the economy but standing here in him because we see that there are people willing to continue despite this high Security Prisons despite being told by police to go back to their homes and despite facing any dangers brought on by the Police Response to them gathering we hear their tear gas continuing and these people are determined to get into this area even if it is symbolic even and to show police that look were here and were going to be pushed back by you were here for a purpose how how how much of an impact that has is unknown but they certainly are people willing to continue this fight for what they say is electoral justice the president is about to deliver a speech in which hes expected to call for unity among all kenyans those who didnt vote for him of course are waiting to hear what he says today he has reached out to ryan. Farmiga has called for talks with the opposition but they have so far refused to talk why is that. They say that conditions on conducive again for this issue around electoral justice they want a complete reform ultimately what theyve been calling for the last couple of months entirely new elections in the new year they say that kenyas not been able to hold free and Fair Elections they dont appear to want to go to speak to two president s who are kenyatta about anything else other than elections i mean at this point we know that were kenyatta has said well look the games over ive won im being sworn in and its time now to move forward so as long as the opposition is not having the government come to them on the terms they want raila odinga says hes not prepared to talk. As we continue to washy pictures from cassani city and lets talk about the challenges that he faces ahead there is of course the issue of uniting kenyans once again but there are a host of other challenges not least how to deal with kenyas declining economy this is one of the south africas strongest economies has been anyway but its been experiencing a great deal of difficulties in recent years how is he going to address this. In the last year alone the kenyan economy has lost millions of dollars because of the political instability and speaking to analysts who have looked at how kenya needs to recover theyre talking about more privatization theyre looking at money now thats been diverted to the election you know at one point costing more than a billion dollars and now being used for the continuing Infrastructure Development there have been some gains in the last several months whether its a Massive Railway that runs from the capital to the coast but ultimately people are worried about an economy that isnt growing at the rate it should be at least compared to five years ago theres been a significant decline so these will be an area of focus for president Uhuru Kenyatta in his second term appeasing people who are having difficulty putting food on the table this is really a burden back to issue for many kenyans who already many of them dont have jobs or looking for employment and youth that say theyve been sidelined and marginalized when the focus is very much being on the politics of the day rather than boosting the economy you very much for that family mill i will leave you for now and come back to nairobi in just a few minutes when president or kenyatta makes his speech to the kenyan people after being sworn in just a short while ago for a second term in office. Moving on and the chair of the u. S. Federal reserve is arguably the most powerful banking wall in the wild and all eyes will be on present Donald Trumps nominee Jerome Powell later when he attends his confirmation hearing tom ackerman reports from washington. Jerome jay powell would be the First Federal reserve chairman in nearly four decades with a corporate background a big asset in the eyes of donald trump jay will bring extensive private sector experience and real world perspective to our government as the richest fed chairman in recent memory the former investment banker is expected to favor looser regulation of some banks which complain of too many lending restrictions but paul is been a strong defender of the feds policy to lower Interest Rates by increasing the supply of dollars the problems that some commentators predict predicted have not come to pass accommodative policy did not generate high inflation or excessive credit growth rather it helped restore full employment and return inflation closer to the two percent goal. In fact hes joined many experts to catholics claim why inflation is actually remained so low despite one of the longest growth streaks in u. S. History with still no recession yet in sight from hasnt explained his decision to deny a second term to outgoing chairwoman janet yellen he called her excellent in the job despite being part of Barack Obamas legacy so market Analysts Expect her successor to maintain a steady course i think powell would be the closest thing to Monetary Policy status quo as you can get short of our next two renominating yellen but i think powell is the base case not yellen because trump has to be seen as a disruptor and an agent of change thank you again for this extraordinary opportunity to serve the American People thanks but if the economy does show signs of overheating next year powell and the fed. May see no choice but to step up the pace of raising the cost of borrowing money tom ackerman aljazeera washington. And present donald trump has been accused of using a racial slur during a white house event honoring native american war veterans he derided the Democratic Party senator as pocahontas a nickname native americans have previously described as offensive and distasteful chris since you know me as a story. The event was to honor native American Veterans but President Donald Trump couldnt resist the opportunity to criticize a political rival use the name of a native American Hero in front of a portrait of president Andrew Jackson who is known for forcefully removing natives from their Ancestral Lands no less in a way that was not meant as a complement thank you because youre very very special people you were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago they call or pocahontas its a name he first used on the campaign trail and polka dot this is not happy she got to refer to the democratic senator and staunch trump critic Elizabeth Warren the senator whos claimed native american ancestry was quick to respond it is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a wave or the president spokesperson said there was nothing offensive about it you know most people find offensive center warrant line about her heritage to advance her career but native groups such as the National Congress of American Indians have expressed outrage at the president s use of the name pocahontas before and again called it a slur that denigrates her legacy and i think her native women who remain and i think a take one of the name one of the stories of our women in a race in a story but using her name a pejorative term only helps to continue the extremely high level of violence we have against native women today you know the controversy overshadowed recognition of the veterans who use the navajo language to transmit secret messages during World War Two sending what some insist is a message of disrespect kristen salumi aljazeera.

These steps are purely political i hope well get a chance to discuss this issue the United States needs to revise this decision there are very peculiar smells coming from this issue. But draw prosecutors have dismissed that contention and in Court Filings say they anticipate that the evidence introduced at trial will show that the turkish government and banking officials were integra to the sanctions evasion scheme razors arab is among several turkish men charged with operating a billion dollar Money Laundering scheme to evade u. S. Sanctions against iran only two of the accused are in u. S. Custody however there is widespread speculation that zurab has flipped and is not cooperating with the prosecution he was abruptly released from prison in early november his whereabouts publicly unknown Authorities Say he remains in federal custody and thats led to speculation that he entered the Witness Protection Program there is another strand to this case the special counsel Robert Muller looking into alleged russian meddling in last years president ial election is examining former Trump National security adviser Michael Flynns under a cloud lobbying for the turkish government its been alleged that flynn was offered large sums of money at the very least and lobby the trumpet ministration for the extradition of if not kidnapping himself and transport the cleric to ankara hes also alleged to have been asked to get this legal case dropped now there are questions as to whether i will be able to provide any further information about turkish lobbying of u. S. Government officials like flynn if there and can provide documented evidence that would be a huge break in the fine investigation. But also possibly and i think this is the most. Interesting angle to the case is a potential criminal investigation of the president of turkey for violating irene c. Iran sanctions. That could be what got him released with turkey describing this case as a tack on the country to trial as soon as yet another blue to u. S. Took relations already on the stream. China has sent a pro taiwanese democracy activists to five years in prison leaning was convicted of attempting to subvert state power or trying to overthrow the socialist system the government says hes confessed to writing in distributing online articles criticizing the Ruling Chinese Communist Party taiwans president ial office has called the verdict on acceptable and human Rights Groups say the trial was unfair at least chinese codefendant has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

To zimbabwe now where the new president amasa nagar why is expected to form his cabinet this week all eyes are on whether hell break with the past sent in name a broad based government or select old guard figures from Robert Mugabes era reports from harare. Nearly two weeks since the military takeover zimbabwes Security Forces say the situation is getting back to normal the police who havent been seen on the streets of a rally for days are resuming the g. T. S. For now that means doing joint patrols with soldiers to try and maintain law and order Law Enforcement are ordered receiving reports or looting in. Other peoples views particularly farms in the houses. It is criminal in the spirit of man. And it will be made by the people of the law the announcement comes days after innocence and i got the new president urged citizens not to take matters into their own hands by punishing allies of the former president Robert Mugabe there are reports that Robert Mugabe and his wife grace have been given immunity from prosecution the police wont say how many of mugabes allies have been arrested so far the most high profile is a gracious the former finance minister hes accused of corruption going back at least ten years. Some say so late to punishment could be a sign not much is going to change under the new administration we might have had one person removed but the higher. Remains in place so for me the more things change the more they remain the same and you know if im against you and i think you are challenging me. You become fair game human rights abuses the high court recently ruled the military takeover which eventually saw Robert Mugabe resign was lawful zimbabweans who were tired of having macabre as their leader for thirty seven years have welcomed the courts decision.

By returning to a story we had earlier but that we had to jump out of because of the kenya you know occupation the past few months have seen a sharp increase in refugees arriving on the greek island of les pauls by boat from turkey conditions inside the main government run camp are poor and theres little prospect of travelling further into europe even so up to two hundred people are arriving on the island every day journal reports. For more than two and a half years people whove been making the perilous journey across the water from turkey many whove lost their lives trying to reach the safety of europes sures and still they come. Away. Others mostly i mean just one life for. A meeting will be very. Isolated and. Its now well known that europes borders are closed the greece. Little prospect of one would travel to countries like germany. You know. But beyond the friendly smile of a Volunteer Camp worker theyre about to discover another grim reality. And you know. There are no bathrooms we havent had a shower for ten days. Hussein and her family from iraq werent prepared for the dire conditions inside the main government run camp. I mean this is all greece has for them and with winter approaching theyre trapped here like thousands of others i believe what we see today is also part of a big you know the parents strategy and the message is very very clear if you want to apply for asylum in europe this is what you will find the county where you will stay more than for a long period of time your needs will not be even met. And you will probably stay there for a year or longer if as a person seeking asylum you managed to survive the sea crossing by small rubber boat from turkey twelve miles away you might arrive as many have done at this pretty greek fishing port imagine if your first sight of the European Union was a place like this and yet you ended up stuck for months on end in a place like this. Not all will have valid claims to asylum some will be considered migrants economic opportunists but whether they fled war or poverty theres no doubting their determination to find a better life you know i myself have been talking you know. More than where ever i have even. Passed maybe are there any. Kind of people buying this dream and i was here. Are going to be able.
