Protests in Kenya as William Ruto declared president

BBC World Service - Newsday, Protests in Kenya as William Ruto declared president

The announcement was delayed amid scuffles and allegations of vote-rigging

Four of the seven members of the electoral commission refused to endorse the result, saying it was ‘opaque’

Kenya's new president-elect, William Ruto, says he wants to unite the country after his narrow election victory over Raila Odinga. But more than half of the election commission's members have rejected the result, saying the proper processes weren't followed.

More than one year since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, foreigners and Afghans who collaborated with US and Nato forces remain stranded in the country.

And reports that several major banks in the US have begun offering to facilitate trades in Russian debt in recent days, giving investors another chance to dispose of assets widely seen in the West as toxic.
