Dont want catalonia to split from spain. Barbara starr youre watching aljazeera live from london also coming up on the Program Turkey flexes its military might along the border with syria as part of an operation to rid the province of Al Qaeda Linked fighters Safety Standards under the spotlight in ghana after a massive gas explosion kills a seven people and injured dozens more and it scared and alone more and more children are crossing into zambia to escape violence in the d. R. Seen here some of theyre still. There calling themselves the silent majority and theyve been out in force in barcelona their message their. One catalonia the state part of spain hundreds of thousands of people traveled from all over the country to make their call for unity exactly one week after catalonia as a succession vote the referendum has plunged to spain into a political crisis and theres just a whole reports both sides are only hardening their positions. Barcelona has seen plenty of huge demonstrations but not like this one see red line yellow the confidence and lines along the side of the Spanish National flag meeting ripped off calls for the defendants this is a highly unusual show of national unity. Some have come from other parts of spain but most are from catalonia itself tony roll down is a compliment politician opposed to independence we have made proud the best video of the prosperity of these. Last forty years who simply didnt she was finished was over and we have managed to build a framework that works for everyone i think that the future belongs to you know by just like that we need to know this better transnational brain which to govern ourselves in the world the population doesnt make sense today but they call themselves the silent majority was there so no representatives of the right forces have not been well silent no one thought it was a zero zero seven hundred. Fifty five one moment described an atmosphere of hostility towards those who disagree with the push for independence days ago i was my spanish and that is what i cut. That there was i think. Its right to fight them that have done that to my. Rights. And given the opportunity to speak out many embrace. Really tired of being in the majority and the people to say that were not were going to because the union has a force and come on peace common sense independent schools in this region with its distinct culture and language a centuries old but the stakes of never been higher in madrid Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy warns he may use special powers to revoke catalonians autonomy the Regional Government meanwhile is considering a unilateral declaration of independence in the week to come but who will follow them not these people who seem to have found their voices jonah hold aljazeera at barcelona. Or we can go live to barcelona and speak to aljazeera as a song i get you go sunny a good to see you we heard there in john halls packages talking rather his report hes talking about a unilateral declaration of independence that could come as early as this week which obviously is the last thing that the Spanish Government wants. Indeed barbara and in fact this is something which they have been hinting at the capital and government that they are prepared to do and factions within that government as well have been pushing for that option the Nuclear Option as it were just goes to show that no matter how hard the Central Government in madrid appears to be bearing down on the capital and government its only pushing them to harden their stance even further and of course that then triggers off the madrid government to then harden its stance as we heard in jonahs package might enter hoyo telling the National Daily herald by east that he is quite prepared to go through with article one five five which would in effect get madrid to use Emergency Powers over catalonia which has never been used before and indeed its almost terra incognita for this country because they are trying to figure out exactly how they would do that but certainly its admitting those kinds of signs that neither side is willing to back down this is so they kind of looks like were looking at either a deadlock or escalation what are the actual chances of a negotiated solution to all of this. Well you go see it the solution is really whats been press from the the European Union as well as. Diplomatic voices the mayor of barcelona who herself was criticized for giving just a luke warm support for the actual referendum itself has been urging all sides to do this and certainly the demonstration that we saw on saturday which was really from a group of people who feel very much that their voice has been left out in all of this is well amidst the escalating tensions amidst the rhetoric and the strong arming of one side to the other there are the group of citizens here who feel very much let down by politicians on both sides and theyre saying well what about our voice surely it is time for a dialogue because the consequences of the continued escalation could be potentially disastrous as well as we saw last sunday weve seen perfect how perfectly capable the government to madrid is of allowing show of force using Security Forces to get things under control here of course that somewhat backfired against as it did get quite a lot of criticism from voices within brussels as well as around the country and internationally as well showing that his determination that show of force didnt played out very well at all it then gave the opportunity for the Catalan Government to say well this is what we have to deal with and spain is and the madrid government is willing to use violence to prevent us and school and we have talk of repression as well here as well and that was an illustration for them so as far as that is concerned still there is doesnt seem to be any backing down and its quite possible that they may well read the book the phone shes day well they may not barbara certainly interesting days ahead in barcelona and madrid. And barcelona thank you. And alliance led by former Al Qaeda Linked fighters is promising a fierce battle against those who enter its territory in syrias province that hit all shot and released a statement after the Free Syrian Army or the f. S. A. Crossed into the area from turkey on saturday theyre being backed by turkish soldiers reports from near the turkish syrian border. Turkish artillery shelling a to hit a sham positions inside syria. The former Al Qaeda AffiliatedGroup Controlled most of province and this border area is the focal point of what turkish authorities refer to as a serious campaign. And the Free Syrian Army is sending reinforcements to that i had. The starting point for the new cross border campaign. But which has thousands of fighters is vowing to fight to the death the news of the new campaign is raising concerns for civilians in that if the turkish army enters back by russian planes they have committed a massacre a few days ago in our armies that is for sure and acceptable to me and to any muslim who rejects the presence of those in our country. The russians are the first and last anomie of the Syrian People they are backing Bashar Al Assad how can they be supporting the Syrian People. The new push by turkey comes after an agreement with russia and iran last month to set up a deescalation zone in. The turkish army will be operating in the city while the russians will be deployed outside of the province it is one of four deescalation zones the others are the askers of the capital damascus that are on the border with jordan and northern parts of homes. What established after iran russia and turkey decided to set aside their differences and find a permanent solution to the syrian conflict well hashem is live for us in gaziantep on turkeys border with syria and we hear the details in your report what is the latest on the labor offensive. The offensive is underway with the three c. An army taking the lead inside syria trying to. Break some of the defense lines of hey at the head of what we would do also i understand from a speech that was given a while ago by the turkish president of. The kurdish factions of the wipers you could also be a target of this new cross Border Military campaign. That the turkish government is never going to allow the white p. G. And the s. D. F. To expand and create a safe corridor from themselves for themselves that extends from the eastern part of syria all the way to the mediterranean so this is perhaps one of the most delicate military operations for the Turkish Military taking on. Establishing doors in the province ensuring that the escalation zone contains and. Is maintained by the same time defeating the y. P. G. In the northern part of the country and hashim you mentioned a delicate operation for the Turkish Military what about kurdish factions could they be targeted in this campaign. Most likely the y. P. Jim and has a presence in a free and which is all the border with turkey in the past the turkish government has been saying that it will never allow kurdish factions to maintain a permanent presence all the border they consider them to be an extension of the p. K. K. Which. Labors as a terrorist organization so we are most likely going to see a military campaign targeting the b. G. Unless the fighters decide to pull out all the way towards the east of the of raters the turkish government insists west of the freighters is an area that must be free of y p g fighters. With the latest from passion thank you.

More than one hundred thousand residents in mississippi and alabama are without power as Tropical Storm nate moves inland from the u. S. Gulf coast nate was a hurricane when it made a second u. S. Landfall in mississippi and was later downgraded to a Tropical Storm warnings of dangerous storm surges still remain across the u. S. Gulf coast. The u. N. Secretary general has told al jazeera that caribbean islands battered by hurricanes are the victims of Climate Change and tony good parish traveled to barb you that and tina and domenico to see the devastation caused by hurricanes irma and maria ninety five percent of infrastructure in bermuda was damage than good tears admits hes never seen that level of destruction before. The reason of my visit 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 manage in that in the next few years seems will get worse than worst the world bank is promoting. Meeting in the context of their annual meeting and i urge the International Community to fully support these caribbean states they 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 depth that they already had before they need International Solidarity they have not contributed to Climate Change but they are the first victims of these. Impacts of Climate Change italys ancient monuments have survived the same trees of earthquakes floods and losing but all that damage has come at a cost now they tell him government has trying to the countrys high end fashion houses to fund the restoration of romes iconic buildings the coliseum is the latest landmark to receive help everybody is happy with what could tear is intervention into two thousand years of history need parker has more now from rome. Its a steep climb to the top of the colosseum commissioned by the emperor of a speccy and in the year seventy two for the past forty years the fourth and fifth levels have been locked away from view. Until now welcome to the ancient cheap seats that probably wouldnt offer the best view of the regular bloodbath down below but they do offer a sensational view of the city. The opening of the upper levels is the result of a four year Epic Restoration project the outsides also been strengthened and spray clean to remove generations of grime the cost a colossal thirty Million Dollars and theres still more work to do the sheer scale of romes archaeological heritage poses a huge financial burden for the city and for the country the vast costs involved frequently exceed state budgets. Ticket sales help but revenues dont go far enough thats where high end italian fashion comes to the rescue the coliseums renovation was largely paid for by the billionaire owner of todds Luxury Footwear company. In follows a three Million Dollars renovation of one of romes main Tourist Attractions the trevi fountain paid for by Clothes Company fendi. And the spanish steps restored last year with more than a Million Dollars from jury designer ball gary when we had to celebrate there were one hundred thirty new very three we wanted to create something really special for disney birthrate and thats why we thought to pay tribute to the sea today. Where our founder and also created so much richness in our creativity the financial helps launch he welcomed its of these cash strapped government but there were some concerns about bigger tally and Companies Using their renovations as a branding exercise. Theres a real risk of commercializing ancient monuments but the brands we chose last year were chosen carefully we havent seen any signs of companies abusing their patronage. Italians are intensely proud of their rich Cultural Heritage but preserving it comes at a huge cost that for now only italys big businesses are able to cover. Leave. Room.
