An earthquake close to the Iranian city of Bushehr where Iran has its only nuclear power station has killed at least 32 people and injured more than 850. The 6.3 magnitude quake with its epicentre about 100km south-east of the city was felt as far away as Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. The governor of Bushehr told Iranian state television that the nuclear plant has not been damaged. Our correspondent, Mohsen Asgari, is in the capital Tehran.

Reports from the affected area described people running out onto the streets and it seems that they do not want to go back home and they want to stay at the streets because they are afraid of the aftershocks. Officials have said that they need blankets, tents, water and food. For the moment, water and electricity are cut, but the good news is that the roads are open and

team can do the job better. With the darkness, search and rescue operation will be difficult, but the general governor’s office said that they have sent generators to the area, so rescue operation can continue overnight.

The new president of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, has been sworn in at a

ceremony

in Nairobi. In his inauguration speech, he said he would bring unity to the country. Mr Kenyatta is facing charges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The BBC’s Gabriel Gatehouse was at the swearing-in ceremony.

When Uhuru Kenyatta finally appeared to take the oath of office, today’s event felt very much like a continuation of the old established order.
