And of course well keep you right up to date and bring in more detail on that particular incident as soon as we get it but in the meantime well look at whats been going on in spain because catalunya as government is now claiming victory in sundays referendum they say that ninety percent of those who voted secession from spain but only forty two percent of catalonia is five point three million registered voters a believed to have turned out for the referendum thats just under two Million People many opposition groups in the region boycotted the vote because they believed it to be illegal in line with the Spanish Government and its estimated that Spanish Police shut down about half of the polling stations preventing many people from being able to vote either way from east. And the entire world has seen that on one side we have violence and shame and on the other democracy and dignity this is an easy election to have moreover this is an election that we asked for from the european institutions and from governments of other countries who want desire a call out for us to be able to build a more open democratic world. Coexistence is a good that we must begin to recover as soon as possible i say very clearly im not going to close any door and if it did its not my way of doing politics ive always offered an honest sincere dialogue but always within the law and always within the democracy frame. John hendren is live for us now in barcelona so victory being claimed on the one hand victory being claimed on the other side as well where does that leave the situation in catalonia today. I think about where we expected it to be martin the Spanish Government was never going to consider this a legitimate election and they certainly did everything they could so stop it they say in thousands of police at least sixteen thousand police from the National Police and from the Civil Defense force. Were here trying and their mandate was to stop this election and to confiscate the ballots they succeeded it neither of those in a complete sense but they certainly dampened the turnout and they they certainly affected the election they had arrested a number of Election Officials beforehand they confiscated ten million ballots at one point so i think to put that turnout number in perspective we dont really know exactly what the turnout was in a definitive sense because they confiscated a number of ballots catalonian Officials Say it was about seven hundred seventy thousand but again we dont know and you had police battering their way into these polling stations the National Police the local police were not doing that as far as we can tell and you had eight hundred some people injured this vanished government says there were also about three dozen police who were injured but what we saw on the ground here were were people linked linking their arms and then just being struck by a baton even in some cases tossed down stairwells so that certainly dampened enthusiasm for voters and nevertheless you did get a sick significant number here whether you consider that legitimate or not the president of catalonia carlos is said that there is no minimum threshold and he says that even under spanish law there is no minimum threshold so he considers it a victory the Spanish Government considers it a crime sent up to the castle i know for it is proposed today do that and they re going to go ahead with the union you need a lateral that creation of independence. Yeah i spoke to carlos put it did put him on a couple days ago the catalonian regional president and he said that if this referendum went ahead and if a majority of those who voted however many that was said yes then he was going to present to the parliament a proposal to create an. Independent state to declare independence and that is what most of the government officials here seem to be determined to do and now they have what they consider a mandate to do that what we dont know is how spain will respond will the Spanish Government come and try to occupy catalonia will it arrest the leaders who have done this theyve threatened them with charges of sedition that could include a fifteen year prison term i asked carlos if he was willing to serve that term and he said we will take responsibility for whatever happens but it would be a big mistake and the International Community would not be happy to see that and as you say john i mean youve actually had an indepth conversation havent you with the castle and president is it your impression that they actually prepared for what independence could entails like renegotiating the entry to the European Union in the euro zone like renegotiating the entry into into nato for instance i mean have they prepared for that kind of thing. I think theyre determined to take on those challenges but i dont think that theyre prepared and how does one prepare we see from the the experience in britain that declaring a thing is one thing and actually achieving it is another and it can take a long time they dont know that they would be able to enter back into the European Union. At least amount says that he believes that will happen but one country under current rules can deny entry and certainly spain would seek to do that he thinks that he he could come to some kind of reproach along with spain where that would happen clearly this is not an area that has its own military theyve got sheep fields where there would be borders so there would be a lot of infrastructure to set up and you know they they have not begun the physical work of doing that but push them on says they have started the planning for that and they are confident that they would be in the European Union all right thank you for that john hendren our correspondent live in barcelona.

Documentaries that open your eyes at this time on aljazeera. Lets take a look at the top stories and here at aljazeera more than twenty people have been killed in a gun attack in the u. S. City of las vegas more than a hundred other people have been injured the gunman opened fire from a hotel window on to a concert at mandalay bay casino and hotel Police Responded they killed one attacker who they described as a local man and they say theyre still trying to find a second female suspect.

The senior fatah leaders are on their way to go as a part of reconciliation efforts to mend ties with the rival palestinian faction hamas the Palestinian Authoritys Prime Minister rami hamdullah is leading the delegation this is his first visit to the strip since twenty fifty gaza has struggled with months of electricity shortages. For the past decade how much has controlled the strip while the faster controlled Palestinian Authority holds power in new york people and west bank the rift between the palestinian factions began when hamas won parliamentary polls in gaza in two thousand and six talks to form a government there broke down because of ideological differences fatah supported a two state solution hamas rejected israels right to exist the differences lead to conflict in the eventual hamas takeover of gaza in two thousand and seven have been several failed attempts at the two factions reconciliation. Then hamas announced it would dissolve its rival administration and want to move forming a unity government all right lets go live now to our correspondent gary forsett hes at the areas crossing into gaza and harry the Prime Minister has just arrived in gaza. Where it was still waiting for me about fifteen or twenty minutes behind schedule but certainly he was jews who arrived at the top of this hour midday local time when he does arrive hell be greeted by a military band and obviously a big delegation from officials here in gaza then hell give a News Conference and then hell go beyond the gates into gaza proper just across there about a one hundred meters or so away there is a large Group Hundreds of largely young men and teenage boys the very kind of people who have been so deprived of jobs and a future under the last ten years of separation and israeli blockade with unemployment rates among the youth especially running at sixty percent or so he will then mr handler go to gaza city for talks with his male honey or the political leader of hamas theyll have lunch together and then he will give him a tour of some of the most deprived areas of gaza the reasons behind all this many but some suggested it could be because of the sheer amount of pressure that was being inflicted on the Hamas Administration not just by the israeli blockade but also by the restrictions imposed by the p. A. By fatah in recent months on a tricity on paying cuts in payments to its staff also there is those who say that imus may want to offload some of the problems of running a government under these circumstances to see if they can make good on their promises for a Better Future for the people of gaza and the question must be that this attempt because there have been others before that have failed that this attempt will succeed. Or. The noises on both sides that are being made are extremely positive there is a big welcome arranged here already for mr and his fellow ministers and the rest of his delegation posters of Mahmoud Abbas and the Prime Minister are up posters of the egyptian president sisi as well for the first time because its egypt that has brokered this deal the question remains how in the longer term after theyve handed over power in the various ministries how they solve things like the security arrangements on the egyptian Border Crossing whos in charge there whos in charge of internal security and indeed who has control alternately over the military wing of hamas hamas is very clear that that is not on the table that talking about committees to try and solve the issues of how to run the security situation within gaza there was a suggestion that from officials that Mahmoud Abbas doesnt want to see something similar to whats happened in lebanon with hezbollah military wing being another center of power weve heard from a Senior Member saying that that has never been a condition but that it is part of the longer term negotiations on the basis of one of the previous agreements that happened in twenty eleven in cairo but those sorts of very difficult issues if and now postponed will have to be solved at some stage in the future all right harry thank you harry for that live at the air is crossing now the two women accused of assassinating the half brother of the north Korean Leader kim jong both pleaded not guilty at their trial in a Malaysian Court theyre charged with killing kim jong nam by smearing his face with a band nerve agent at the airport in february the women say they thought they were part of a prank for a hidden camera show they face a Death Penalty if found guilty he has more from shah alam high court.

X. Nerve agent and he said they will be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that these two women knew what they were doing and knew that what they were doing was enough to kill kim jong il not now of course these two women are not the only suspect in this case though for the north korean men but they are still at large Police Malaysian police have not been able to question them much less put them on trial now they are thought to have left malaysia a couple of hours after the killing was committed and theyre believed to be in north korea there is an interpol red notice alert out for these men now of course at this stage we dont still know what the motive was this could become kara in the coming weeks but the two women have said told diplomats from the home countries that they are not guilty but they thought they were just taking part in a harmless prank for a Reality Television show a ban on full face veils has come into force in austria muslim groups have condemned the law which the government says is to protect values the lower applies. With specific exceptions for things like surgical mosques worn in hospitals and dress of cultural events and breaking the ban faces a potential fine one hundred. Fifty fifty. I believe in like tolerance and liberality in truth what is happening here is a massive oppression of women and with this background i think its right to say that there are limits i think we have made our position clear im absolutely a peace with myself about the. Question i know this no i think one can question. Play saying well you cant. Label she on women will say but we are free to change our liberty but you.

Girl second preschool in room back the only boarding school in the country she says her school has managed to work out a way with the local community to keep the girls in school so one of the things we have to do in the school is weve had to get them to sign an agreement with the school and we asked for an elder within the family to come with the girl to sign an agreement with the school that if she comes to the school she will not be forced out over the four years works but sadly were still two percent we still managed to lose every year commute to illustrate its often difficult to convince the families to let the girls stay in school and im very lucky you some of the parents still dont understand why its important to keep the girls in school here we tried to talk to them but sometimes we get insulted and harassed we talk to the girls we talk to the parents but its very hard for the parents to be convinced justin doesnt know if shell lose the fight against her family but she hopes they give up before shes forced to leave her books behind people morgan aljazeera room back.
