This is BBC World News, the top stories, the results are in,

Kenyatta has been announced the winner of the election in Kenya, the

opposition has rejected the result but the newly elected president had

a consolatory message. I extend the handset Bury hand of friendship and

partnership, this country needs all of us to work together in order to

succeed. Donald Trump says his military solutions against North

Korea are locked and loaded and in the last half-hour yet another

warning to Pyongyang. If he does anything with respect to Guam or any

other place that is an American territory or American ally he will

truly regret it. Two trains collide in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.

Welcome to world News today, the Kenyan President Kenyatta has been

re-elected as a result of the elections held on Tuesday, the

result was announced this evening after the election commission

tallied all the votes. Having filled the requirement by law and having

turnout of 54.27% of the vote, I therefore declare Uhuru Kenyatta...

APPLAUSE CHEERING

APPLAUSE I'm not finished the sentence!

LAUGHTER I wish I said I wish to declare

Uhuru Kenyatta as the President-elect. CHEERING

APPLAUSE Speaking after the announcement

Uhuru Kenyatta reached out to the opposition and called for unity

across Kenya. To our brothers who are worthy competitors, we are not

enemies. We are all citizens of one Republic. As with any competition

there shall always be winners and there shall be losers but we all

belong to one great nation called Kenya and I extend the hand of

friendship, I extend a hand of cooperation, I extend the hand of

partnership, knowing fully well that this country needs all of us pulling

together in order for us to succeed and Kenyans want us to succeed.

So like I said to my worthy competitor, especially the Right

Honourable Raila Odinga, I reach out to you, I reach out to oiler

supporters, I reach out to all who are elected on now the opposition

benches, we shall work together, we shall partner together, we shall

grow together, we shall develop this country together and we are there

ready to engage, to dialogue, to discourse together. So that we can

build this nation of ours together. President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta

polled almost 10% votes than his rival Raila Odinga, the opposition

has already rejected the result and complained of broad and hacking of

the counting process. One of the things we need to stress is the

opposition Raila Odinga's people were not at the announcement of the

result. They were not, they were here earlier in the day holding

meetings, they said they raised objections to the commission with

regard to the count and they wanted those objections addressed but the

condition maintained that the result is announced last so they left this

venue in protest saying that they were not going to be party to this

announcement because they were and happy with the process. So what will

they do, go to the courts? How do they proceed? The international

observers appealed to anyone who would dispute the result to go to

the polls but we have had from the opposition coalition, we have heard

it's not a route they would like to take, that they have gone to the

courts in the past and lost, referring to 2013 when they

challenged the result is this Britain court so they say it's not

an option -- in the Supreme Court. So we wait and hear what the next

course of action could be. In the meantime Uhuru Kenyatta received 54%

of the vote, no real surprise about the fact he's a winner? That's

right, the opposition however presented their own set of results

which they said showed that Raila Odinga was in the lead but these

results were rejected by the electoral committee saying they were

the only body mandated by law to count and announce the results. And

we have seen a lot of discussions that have been going on, a lot of

pressure piling on the opposition to follow due process, the country has

been anxious this week, people stayed away from work because they

did not know how it was going to turn out. In the past elections have

been marred with violence but this time around it has been peaceful

save for isolated cases of small protests and just two parts of the

country so far. People hoping the situation is going to continue but

then the voice of the opposition leader is going to be very

important, is he going to appease his supporters, what is he going to

tell them? Is he going to accept the offer by the president to work with

him? We are hearing reports some tear gas has been fired on protests

in one part of Nairobi, these are some of the supporters of Raila

Odinga and happy with the result. Of course it isn't poured on to state

everyone was anxious about the violence which broke out ten years

ago, not taken place than fully this time round. No, not at all. The

reports we are hearing are small, one locality in the city. One slum

in the West and town which is a stronghold for Raila Odinga, we

understand there was protests as soon as the result was announced and

police used tear gas to disperse the crowds. We will maintain, we will

continue monitor the situation and update your viewers. Thank you very

much, from the counting centre, thank you. These are alive pictures

of supporters of Uhuru Kenyatta President-elect supporters, they are

thrilled with the result, 54% of the vote the incumbent President Uhuru

Kenyatta has received compare to the 44% the main opposition Raila Odinga

has received, finally we have been waiting quite some time for this

result to come through but we know finally know Uhuru Kenyatta has been

re-elected as president of Kinga. -- Kenya.

The escalating rhetoric between the United States and North Korea shows

no sign of abating. North Korea accused Donald Trump of driving

situation to the brink of nuclear war and in the past half-hour

President Trump was asked by what he meant by locked and loaded. We are

looking at it very carefully and I hope they are going to fully

understand the gravity of what I said and what I said is what I mean

so hopefully they will understand exactly what I said and the meaning

of those words, those words are very easy to understand. We have tens of

millions of people in this country who are so happy with what I am

saying because they are saying finally we have a president sticking

up for our nation and frankly sticking up for our friends and

allies. This man will not get away with what he's doing, believe me. If

he utters one threat in the form of an overt threats which by the way he

has been uttering three years and his family has been uttering for

years, or if he does anything with respect to Guam or anyplace else

that is an American territory or American ally he will truly regret

it and he will regret it fast. President Trump speaking in the last

30 minutes, the rising tension has forced world leaders to encourage

calm. Angela Merkel said they could be no military solution adding an

escalation of the rhetoric is the wrong answer.

After fire and fury comes "locked and loaded" -

not the title of some Hollywood summer blockbuster,

but the words of America's commander in chief,

to describe his country's state of military readiness.

These are the latest pictures of B-1 bombers stationed in Guam,

the motto of this squadron - "Fight tonight."

President Trump reminded people of that

He's deploying social media to ratchet up his rhetoric.

"Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded,

"Hopefully, Kim Jong-un will find another path."

And last night, there was another personal warning

He has disrespected our country greatly.

He has said things that are horrific.

And with me, he's not getting away with it.

He got away with it for a long time between him and his family.

As the government of Japan deployed missile interceptors to guard

against North Korean rockets, international leaders essentially

I'm firmly convinced that an escalation

of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict.

TRANSLATION: When a fight has nearly broken out,

the first step away from that dangerous threshold should

be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter.

Amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it's emerged the Trump

administration has been secretly talking to North Korea

about Americans in prison there, and deteriorating relations.

The news came as America's Defence Secretary emphasised diplomacy.

You can see the American effort is diplomatically led,

it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results.

And I want to stay right there, right now.

The tragedy of war is well enough known.

It doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact

Holiday-makers on Guam, the island North Korea has

threatened with missiles, still seem unfazed.

But amongst the beach reading this morning,

a fact sheet from the Guam government, warning not

As we heard since the report we had Donald Trump making his statement,

another statement, Anthony, world leaders, even the Trump

administration tried to calm things down, but Donald Trump is not

listening. Key is not once again this afternoon he was leaning into

his original remarks, when said if North Korea makes one threat, one

over threat they will regret it, that's similar to what Donald Trump

said a couple of days ago. It was not the fire and fury warning he

made but he was talking about punishing North Korean threats and

we saw people like Rex Tillerson and James Matus, talking about US

military response to North Korean actions so once again it seems

Donald Trump is saying, the mere threat could prompt response.

Definitely worth flagging that up. He is standing by his earlier

comments but as you say, James Mattis was playing this town, who is

advising him to behave this way? During the campaign Donald Trump

said he is his own best foreign policy adviser, that the generals

are all well and good but he trusts his instincts and his instincts got

him elected and he was going to use them while the leader of the

country, and I think we are seeing that in play. He has criticised

previous Presidents are not talking a strong game, not upping the

rhetoric when confronted by North Korea so his strategy seems to be

match over the top language with language of his own. But if we step

back and look at it, his words are not necessarily being followed up by

American action on the ground, if we were preparing for some sort of

extended military campaign you would see troop movement and preparations

which are not there right now, bombers are flying out of Guam,

there are planned military operations with South Korea, but the

sort of preparations for military action are not there right now. As

always, good to talk to you Anthony. Stay with us, we have lots to come

including all the sport, the opening day of the English Premier League

season. The big crowds became bigger is the

time of the funeral approached. As the lines of fans became longer the

police prepared for a huge job of crowd control.

Idi Amin, Uganda's former dictator has died at the age of 80. He has

been buried in Saudi Arabia where he lived in exile after being

overthrown in 1979. 2 billion people around the world

have seen the last total eclipse of the sun to take place in this

millennium. It began its journey off the coast of Canada, ending three

hours later when the sun set over the Bay of Bengal.

Welcome to BBC World News today. The main headlines, Kenya's Electoral

Commission has announced that Uhuru Kenyatta has been re-elected

president, the opposition has resurrected the result complaining

of fraud. And Donald Trump escalates his direct towards North Korea as he

warns 03 solutions to the stand-off are locked and loaded unless the

regime backs down. At least 37 people have been killed in Egypt's

worst rail accident in several years. Around 120 people were

injured when two passenger claims collided head-on. The accident

happened on the northern coastal town of Alexandria, the cause of the

collision are still unclear. The preliminary cause right now is the

person responsible for warning the coming train did not notice and did

not warn it and this is why the incident happened. Like you said it

was close to the city of Alexandria, the second-largest city, and where

Egyptians head for summer vacation and that is what thousands of those

people on the train were intending to do. You mention thousands of

passengers is that her busy these trains would have been? Actually

these trains are some of the cheapest, one of the cheapest

trains, both of them, to Alexandria, there is no regulation in terms of

having a specific seat allocated by your ticket so this is why it's

always packed, the carriages are packed with passengers. Also an

important contributing factor is the price, the fears for the railway has

not increased in the past year saw the Egyptian government to her

decision to float the pound in November 2016 and left the subsidy

on fuel sending the price of transportation to this guy but

trains remain the cheapest in the country and this was why it was the

means of transport for many of these poor Egyptians who would not have

afforded it otherwise. An update from Cairo. In case you have missed

it the football is back, let's get all the sport.

The 26 English Premier League season is underway starting on a Friday

night for the first time ever and if this evening 's game is anything to

go by its going to be a very exciting season. Two goals in the

first five minutes and four in the first half, Lacazette scoring for

Arsenal then Shinji Okazaki equalising for Leicester City, Jamie

Vardy put Leicester ahead again but Danny Welbeck made it 2-2 at

half-time but Jamie Vardy has scored in the second half, the latest score

a 3-2, 76 minutes on the clock. Liverpool have not started their new

season but are already in a battle to keep hold of star player Philippe

Coutinho. He responded to the club responding saying they will not sell

him to Barcelona by handing in a transfer request. It's turning into

quite a saga, on Wednesday Liverpool rejected and ?90 million bid for

Coutinho from Barcelona but it has emerged Coutinho has handed in a

transfer request. That news emerging just hours after Liverpool issued a

statement insisting he was not for sale and they would not be

considering any offers. Liverpool I can tell you have rejected the

transfer request, they insist he is not for sale but she suspected that

saga is going to run and run. Brighton will be back in the top

division for the first time in 34 years and the formidable opener on

Saturday at home to big spending Manchester city. For us some great

examples of teams that have gone up and stayed up and done well over a

period of time and there are ones that have not, so yes, we will look

for, to try and get as many good experiences and as much knowledge is

what we can do and that's not just over this summer, that's as we go

through this season because everybody will hit difficult periods

and what you have to be able to do is overcome them periods. Brighton

were just attempt to the English championship title last season by

Newcastle, they play Tottenham or earn Sunday and despite missing out

on so of their summer transfer targets, Rafa Benitez insists he is

committed to the cause. Obviously I said how I feel during this summer.

But at the same time I said that my commitment is 100% with this team,

this club, in terms of trying to learn from the first game in the

last one. So my ambition is to do well every single game to get three

points and see where we are in the table. I am pleased with everything,

to say that would not be true, but I'm not saying I will not do my best

to be as high as possible in table. The athletics Championships turning

into a bumper wheat from the USA, and the team have strengthened their

position at the top of the leaderboard with gold. And American

golfers dominating the leaderboard at the USPGA, the final major of the

year, Kevin Kisner the outright lead halfway through his round four shots

clear of Louis Oosthuizen. Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama both

chasing their first major and are one shot further back on three

under. Rory McIlroy is still struggling however, three bogeys in

his last four holes, Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott and Justin Rose also

struggling to make the cut. That's all the sport for now.

Thank you, babies are a big business and an increasing number of parents

think what is best for their child has a high price tag. In America

that is fuelled by a premium market as parents blow the budget to make

sure they get hold of luxury brands. When we were growing up we never had

these options. Shopping for a baby is not what it used to be. Women

would come downstairs and we would call the stroller pets and they

would start crying because there are so many options. An explosion of

choice. It's an easy fold, a strap like that. Jamie is an expert in

infant gear. A lot of Cribbs but people do the reverse investments,

they will spend more money on the cred than the mattress. For him that

the current boom started with the stroller. They were the catalyst for

the baby gear render songs because they came out with a cool stroller

and then all the others had to step up their game and that trickled down

into other categories. In America women are waiting longer to have

children so by then they have more disposable income and the industry

is growing faster to cater to them. This year the global market is

expected to reach $66.8 billion. For all the cuteness this is a

billion-dollar industry with baby companies focused on trying to

figure out how to get expectant parents to spend more. The choices

can be built will bring. Here these parents are all too well aware of

how daunting it can be. There is an upper tier of product available

which is geared towards people that are extremely wealthy. It's easy to

get wrapped up in it, it's very expensive. You can get so caught up

on it especially at Instagram and lives these families have. They are

always so beautiful and homes are so wonderful and they have so many

perfect baby items so you think you certain things.

Take every parent 's desire to get the best for the kids add to the

consumer desire and big profits seem to be child's play.

Expensive business isn't it? If you would like to get in touch on any of
