Lets talk they say in spanish and in catalan the language of this region pushing to secede. But not all catalans want to break away many prefer spain united the protest here mirrored by large crowds in the capital madrid what this shows is that whatever was happening in government actually should be on the wall for some but by no means all the people within the ranks and alberto have just married at the town hall of frost the square from the Regional Government headquarters theyre happy they say to share their union with calls for National Unity in spain i personally think that he must remain united car i also think that everybody has a right to choose what they want to feel when they want to get on board legally because as the crowd gathered outside inside we spoke to catalonia as foreign minister so do will of the people needs to be respected for a single reason there is no alternative to this we tried for years to enter into negotiations with the state not once or into positive manner repression was the only answer and despite this the people went to vote freely the market and peacefully and that is what dick polman of catalonia needs to acknowledge we have two projects here one is democracy the other one is repression of violence which one the people.

Russian police have detained more than two hundred people at antigovernment protests around the country. The. In St Petersburg sixty people were taken into custody when police moved in to break up a demonstration it was one of at least twenty seven held to coincide with president bush and sixty first birthday the demonstrators are supporters of the Opposition Leader alexina valmy who is currently serving a twenty day jail term for a challenge of reports from moscow where police were more restrained in their handling of the protests. Saturday was a test for Alexei Navalny and the test for russias Security Forces on the day president putin turned sixty five the Opposition Leader wanted supporters to demand his release from twenty days it minister to detention and for him to be allowed to run in next years president ial elections hes going in the band of independent candidate they want the person who are the. Top to bottom line talk about the real russian problems i love my country very much this is why i am here the method of ruling. I wrote. And. New generation is great. But while unsanctioned rallies earlier in the year trail many thousands of people not nearly so many came this time perhaps the awful weather kept people away moscow at least but perhaps to get the message this time with less focus on the corruption that blight so Many Russians lives and more focus on the family herself and maybe a student here than in previous demonstrations at the time mostly young russian tourists very very vocal the. Motives fables i must say the. Incident person must resign. Since novelli was sentenced on october the second. For organizing an authorized rallies there have been numerous raids and searches at his Campaign Offices around the country or support for a month. And whereas in moscow or thorazine is appear to be trying new softer tactics letting protesters shout their slogans with a minimum of the rest in other cities like san petersburg it was the same old treatments with riot police wrestling people to the ground and throwing them into waiting vans will have to wait for future demos to see if this dip in attendance marks a long term waning of support for number only and also to see if authorities favor the Moscow Police approach or same petersburgs reach allans zero Moscow League is a russia analyst that i. H. S. Global information Strategy Company she says the kremlin is more interested in managing the protests than stamping them out completely. I think from the government perspective we really have to accept one fact that these protests are happening also because the government to decree what the authorities are along this to happen this is a very good too to sort of measured the level of discontent social discontent amongst the public how many people are ready to come out on the street risking their jobs most of the time to jobs our government or Public Sector jobs which means there will be record questions for some as well so do these orders also have to be cautious because they cannot afford to have a large number of people on the street because this will encourage others to come out so its quite interesting its basically the government allowing some protests to happen but so the reasonable number of people manageable levels not something that weve seen in two thousand and twelve. Well still to come on the news hour of bangladeshs Prime Minister promises her continued support for the will hinge on. Why Puerto Ricans are worried that post arak and repeal the rebuilding efforts come with ulterior motives and womens tennis has a new world number one that details that later in sport. But first turkey has announced the launch of a major operation in syrias province isnt sending its own forces into it lead but it is backing syrian rebel groups from the turkish side of the border turkish president richard type air the han says turkish soldiers havent yet entered the area much of it is controlled by through here al shabab and alliance of factions spearheaded by a former alqaeda affiliate. Kark america. We have opened up a space in our region with Operation Euphrates Shield and now we are making if is to take a step forward by maintaining security and. Today there is a serious operation and it loop and it will continue because we have our brothers who came to it live fleeing violence in aleppo we can tell them whatever happens happens you can either die or survive we have to extend a hand to our brothers now this step has been taken and it is under way. As from how barak has more now from gaziantep on turkeys border with syria. This is what we know so far the Turkish Military sending reinforcement of that i highly Border Crossing with hundreds of free syrian fighters also present in the area phase one of this bit of offensive will be the Free Syrian Army leading the fight to take on to have either in it live face to will be the Turkish Military crossing into it live to secure the city this is part of a deal that was signed with iran and what with iran and russia in a stand last month but with turkeys involvement in syria this could pose many challenges for the Turkish Military first of all because to have the same is one of the most powerful rebel factions operating inside syria they have issued a statement warning that any attack against them with be met with stiff resistance warning all those who try to dislodge them from it live to pay a heavy price the second major deal challenge for the Turkish Military is basically the town of a three an all the border with. Turkey which where there is significant presence of the s. D. F. Which is a coalition of turkish fighters i think minister planners in the Turkish Military will trying it out just try could delicate balance between the need to take on to hire some of the same time but also to prevent any attacks by the s. D. F. As the operation starts. Well its good for iraq now and the fight against the group has been forced from the northern town of how we just are the fighting continues in surrounding villages but the Kurdish Peshmerga say hundreds of isis fighters have surrendered and proGovernment Forces advance child stratford reports now from the business in Northern Iraq.

We destroyed this car bomb before it hit our convoy now our troops continue towards the village of riyadh which is strategic because it will help us secure the center of how we judge but there are many ideas ahead. And i still set fire to oil wells to try and make accurate Coalition Air strikes against them difficult most of these men are fighters with the iranian backed shia militia known as Popular Mobilization forces or. The eisel sign reads we are hitting you hard you persians who reject the true faith. Turned this building into a surreal to impose that distorted interpretation of law. When they saw we were approaching a towards a building and fled. Villages welcomed the progovernment troops thank god you have liberated us says this man. A few kilometers away Kurdish Peshmerga make sure no i saw fighters scape it was thursday evening when the iraqi Prime Minister hyderabadi announced that the battle for how we was over now made a Kurdish Peshmerga defensive position here the peshmerga telling us that the smoke you can see on the horizon here is because shia militia groups in support of the Iraqi Military are launching fires in lysol controlled areas trying to flush out the last remnants of the actual fighters from this area since the operation against iceland who we just started on september the twenty first the peshmerga say more than two hundred eisel fighters like these have surrendered here i still now only control small areas of iraq near the Syrian BorderGovernment Forces in the Coalition Say they are prepared for what they hope will be their final fight child stuff that al jazeera depicts Northern Iraq two guards have been killed in an attack on a Saudi Royal Palace in jeddah the interior Ministry Says a saudi man opened fire on Security Forces guarding the palace he was then shot that.

The remainder a few g. s that you see in this very long line beside me they have been waiting here for hours today they are hungry they are desperate they are waiting for Food Distribution much needed Food Distribution and many of the ones weve spoken with theyre concerned that by the time they actually get to the tent where the food is being distributed that there wont be enough left over for them this really speaks to the magnitude of this crisis a crisis that the u. N. Is calling the most urgent refugee crisis in the world right now conditions in camps like this is the could to prolong camp and cox is bizarre theyre absolutely appalling nobody expects theyre going to get better any time soon now bangladeshs Prime Minister has said that this country will continue to support these refugees but the fact of the matter is aid groups humanitarian organizations theyre very worried about the flow of aid into this country theyre worried about the International Community not donating enough for this cause and everybody were talking to just is not seeing that this is going to get better anytime soon. How it can make is heading for the u. S. After wreaking havoc in Central America the storm battered costa rica nicaragua honduras and el salvador killing at least twenty five people in flooding and landslides eleven of those people died in nicaragua hundreds of homes were flooded and ten thousand people affected costa ricas president says hurricane made has left half a Million People without drinkable water. You have. Tractors to access the affected areas the insane food water and medicine at the same time who clean up the roads were every can but its difficult because theres a lot of cloudiness hindering the wood planes have also been sent in to survey the situation. Fullname was a Tropical Storm when it hit nicaragua and costa rica on thursday after sweeping across honduras and el salvador it headed north brushing past mexican beach resorts its now picking up strength and is expected to hit the u. S. Gulf coast as a category two storm on saturday night a state of emergency has been the clarity in alabama Louisiana Mississippi and parts of florida well evacuation orders have also been issued including for parts of new orleans and thats where than your schwimmer joins us from as so that know when is the hurricane expected to hit. Well barbara as you mentioned this storm has picked up strength and speed since it left Central America so people were expecting it to hit early on sunday morning here its likely to hit a little bit earlier than anticipated weve just driven back from the east from mississippi gulf to mississippi and there was driving rain and increasingly fierce winds on our way back to new orleans a couple of hours ago so in the next in the next few hours certainly for the people here ill say they have strong memories of how rikan katrina which struck in two thousand and five killing over one thousand five hundred people and causing massive devastation they are saying that they are better organized this time around they have a history of dealing with the records of Tropical Storms in the manner of new orleans has been speaking about those preparations. Greatest threats though from this particular storm because everyone is different is not necessarily rain but strong winds and storm surge i am ordering a mandatory evacuation of the nation isles Lake Catherine and irish by you areas of the city of new orleans so then as we heard there some areas are being evacuated what else. People doing to prepare. Well theres eleven Evacuation Centers been set up in safe areas on the outskirts of new or some distance from new orleans others are evacuating voluntarily there are some areas where people are being forced to evacuate. Really the police have gone in and said you must leave were in Gulfport Mississippi where sailors people with sailing boats in the harbor there are being told they must leave by by early evening others have been out really just putting hardboard up on their windows moving anything that the winds may pick up. And they pick up and move other people leaving the area voluntarily so many people just preparing although with a storm like this you never really know exactly when its going to hit how ferocious its going to be so very difficult whatever you do when it finally does come it can be horrendous it can be very very frightening so people are preparing as best they can but the fear is it may not be enough then you try and there with the latest from new Orleans Daniel thank you. And of course hurrican it is just the latest to hit that part of the world and now many Puerto Ricans are worried about what will happen to their communities as they pick up the pieces after Hurricane Maria they point to residents being forced out of parts of new orleans after Hurricane Katrina as Property Developers moved in she had reports. The presence of the u. S. Military under emergency contract is to be called the Convention Center and in the tourist district yet still over two weeks since Hurricane Maria made landfall almost all for puerto rico is without. Ninety percent without electricity. Like many neighborhoods we visited no one we spoke to from the low income sound one neighborhood of can you imagine kenya that seen any federal personnel helping to rebuild. Eventually Community Leaders did ask the federal Emergency Management agency for topps to temporarily cover the eight hundred houses here without rubes but when a fraction of that amount was supplied so what the bribes are too small or too. Long enough yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah has a well organized Community Infrastructure thats been recognized internationally most recently winning the uns world habitat award. After the hurricanes of one nine hundred twenty six and twenty eight and during the Great Depression the mangroves around the mountain penya channel was illegally squatted by those fleeing the impoverished countryside for san juan through Robust Community organization the twenty five thousand residents living here now legally own two Hundred Acres of this land but their suspicion that authorities will use the aftermath of maria and the increased risk of hurricanes and flooding as a result of Climate Change to get rid of this community altogether. Explains why this area is prized by developers who like the residents here have long been waiting for the promised dredging of the club channel intersecting it. Will become an ambitious tourism and Economic Development project that links though a city. Thats happened before this was once the low Income Neighborhood of tokyo and san juan situated near a waterway authorities ever think to the residents claiming it wasnt feasible to live on a flood plain or whether the city then built expensive Housing Office blocks on the puerto rico coliseum on the same land evan says she will not let that happen to her community and can you. Not want that to happen to us thats why we created the land trust to protect ourselves its well documented that after Hurricane Katrina in new Orleans Developers swiftly moved into have a low income communities and replaced them with hotels and expensive water from the problems but the residents of. Say theyre aware of the dangers of post hearkened relief and reconstruction and that theyre ready she had her time see aljazeera.

Sudans foreign minister has welcomed the lifting of u. S. Sanctions against the country but abraham door called for the u. S. Government to go further removing so that from a blacklist of countries accused of sponsoring terrorism scott heide lawyer reports. Joy on the streets of sudan after the u. S. State department announced it was lifting twenty year old economic and trade sanctions its seen as a move down the path of normalized. In relations some think itll improve their life as you see the american and sudanese flags flown in a spontaneous popular joyful reaction this is an indication that the sanctions have had a heavy toll on the people and the economy. Prices and living costs have fallen a made easier for the needy. The announcement was widely anticipated a process started under president barack obama the u. S. Saying the move came after sudan began addressing concerns of fighting terrorism and human rights abuses the sanctions were piling pressure on an already struggling economy and. Its true that the country is facing economic problems however the sanctions exacerbated if not complicated the situation it doesnt enable government officials to restructure the economy as it should be there were also assurances that sudan wont enter into arms deals with north korea and it had already diplomatically distance itself from iran but the opposition feels its the wrong way to go. The lifting of sanctions will not bear any fruit its only into propaganda but in the end it will have a negative impact on the regime simply because it sent out the wrong message to the people. Sudan though will remain on the u. S. List of state sponsors of terrorism so as the relationship between the two countries improves theres still more work to be done its got harder aljazeera.

Haitis government is pushing to reinstate its army more than two decades after former president. This ban that it following a military coup the controversial plan is popular among the countrys political and the business classes but critics fear it could see a return to widespread Human Rights Violations of reports now from the capital port au prince.

And listed to serve and defend my country but also one of my main motivations is that i need a job. Thousands of unemployed young men like gen marks you know opportunity in the governments plan to rebuild the army more than two decades after it was disbanded but those who remember hes one history of military coups and human rights abuses see warning signs from the past. Whats happening right now is very dangerous it seems like the government is more interested in building a private army for themselves. One hundred twenty men have already received training in ecuador the government insisted a new force would be limited to securing the border and responding to natural disasters however many believe it would also be used to maintain security a task that has largely fallen on the National Police and United Nations peacekeepers for the past thirteen years. The u. N. Mission is known leaves a controversial legacy. In haiti from allegations of rape to introducing color but even its biggest detractors concede minister brought about a degree of stability in this volatile nation the discussion to reinstate the armed forces has been going on for several years in haiti however for those people who support the plan the debate has taken on new urgency in recent months with the imminent departure of the Un Peacekeeping force set for october. The men say any security vacuum in haiti is theirs to fill more than twenty years ago they made up the rank and file of haitis army but though they lost their jobs they never quite lay down their weapons they are armed and also we have political clout particularly. After. Having a new army without us will be a catastrophe there are thousands of us and we are ready to defend our rights and the arguments over the shape of the new military will continue but while far from prosperous the last ten years have brought some relief to haitis most violent neighborhoods.

And i tell you support for now its now back to barbara in london for a thank you the u. N. Secretary general antonio good parish has travelled to burb you and then tea in the caribbean to see the damage left by hurricane last months ninety five percent of all the infrastructure in barbuda was destroyed by hurricane or about eighteen hundred residents who were forced to evacuate to nearby antigo or the secretary general joins us live now live from antigua source thank you so much for being with us on the program the statistics are pretty shocking tell us what you saw when you went on the ground yourself what is the level of devastation. We seem to have lost the line from a pair of those in the caribbean zones form into hell. There is a low yes we can hear you please go on sir last alone no no no we can hear you please go on tell us what you found. I saw a pair of eyes was formed into hell total devastation as as you mentioned the. Winds of six hundred Kilometers Per Hour for thirty seven hours and this is the longest such level resistance which means that we are really facing huge impacts of Climate Change in these hurricanes in these natural disasters they have tripled in intensity in the last and the number in the last thirty years and the Economic Impacts as a multiplier was multiplied by five it is not clear that there is a link between Climate Change and this intensity multiplication and devastation caused by hurricane in the caribbean and around the world i will ask you that in more detail of that later but first just focusing on the same area the u. N. Launched an appeal for about one hundred fourteen Million Dollars and unfortunately the response has been quite poor why do you think that is and what more can the u. N. Do to help these islands to help this region. Well exactly the reason of my visit to barbara to munich is exactly to raise awareness to put pressure on International Community for a stronger humanitarian aid now and also for a stronger aid in relation to the reconstruction and the building resilience in the islands of the caribbean as we magine that in the next few years since will get worse and worse the world bank is promoting a van or a meeting in the context of their annual meeting and i urge the International Community to fully support these caribbean states there are small islands they are sometimes completely destroyed they are pressing five many of them as middle Income Countries they have no access to grants or to soft loans this needs to be revisited and i think its essential for the International Community to be able to help these states allowing them to reconstruct and overcoming the enormous difficulties that they face not only because of the natural disasters but because of the i levels of that that they already had before they need International Solidarity they have not contributed to Climate Change but they are the first victims of. Domestic impacts of Climate Change and you have said that you almost hope that this of these examples of extreme weather will convince many people who are still skeptical about Climate Change and of course the person everyone thinks of when that topic is raised is donald trump the u. S. Says said it will withdraw from the paris climate deal i mean i appreciate your optimistic that you hope that the link will be made but have you seen any evidence that more and more of these hurricanes actually do cause a change in the way the government and people behave and how they see Climate Change. Well some people say that we always have hurricanes and that is true but never with these frequency and this intensity the scientific explanation is very simple more c o two in the atmosphere means warmer water wherever what it means more evaporation more vapor in the atmosphere and so when these go over the oceans. Their intensity is turbocharged and instead of this updating they become more and more devastating and when they reach land they destroy we have seen and by the border ninety five percent of whatever was built in in the island it is clear there is a link between. Our atmosphere one way armor oceans and more devastating more frequent and more intense natural disasters and i understand you will be visiting dominica to see the situation as they are tomorrow for the moment un secretary general antonio the terrorists are thank you so much for having being with us here on aljazeera.
