A news leader has stepped back from declaring immediate and dependence and instead calling for talks to resolve spains worst political crisis in decades Officials Say ninety percent of voters supported independence in the october first referendum which spain declared illegal but less than half of eligible voters actually turned up john hall reports on the cattle on capitol. He arrived at the Parliament Building bristling with expectation a heavy Police Presence into the weighty announcement to come but carlos president of catalonia is Regional Government stopped short of a full declaration of independence. As president its my responsibility to declare that catalonia should become an independent state in the shape of a public. Should become the words greeted with rounds in applause in the chamber before the independent state party was put on hold. We asked the parliament to suspend any effects of the declaration of independence so that we can have dialogue and so that we can find the necessary solution we need to lower tensions and show our will and commitment to meet the demands of the catalan people the reaction in madrid came swiftly and this course not kato your present day and age that the speech that the catalan president has made today is a speech by a person who doesnt know where he is where hes going or with whom he wants to go the government cannot accept that the catalan referendum be validated because its been suspended by the constitutional court. Having consistently refused to talk one centrist politician suggested the time may have come for the government to compromise i think the better way they can solve the problem is with that negotiation some kind as i said of mediation a disappointment perhaps to some staunch secessionists who told tonight would be their night but sweet relief to many who fear the consequences of an upright declaration of independence after threats from madrid and the flight of Top Companies from catalonia since the referendum on october the first. Place that you dont regret and was closing fast alone or the faithful who gathered to watch the speech on the big screens left deflated but accepted that all is. Its not lost im happy that hes given us time in or the for people things we really dont understand whats the situation were going to say what does it mean what the president just said so assigned declaration but independence deferred which demands speech stipulated no timeline for talks with madrid the drama of catalonia is independence that has played out in this Parliament Building for nearly one hundred years isnt over yet jonah hill aljazeera barcelona sunnydale has reaction from the streets of barcelona. After paying tribute to everyone who participated in the first of october vote mr leach a moment then said that the results that came from that should in fact a fact a declaration of independence that drew rolls of delight from the crowd but then he delivered the blow that he in fact would abandon the notion of an independence declaration in favor of proceeding with dialogue with working with European Partners and moving the situation forward that then drew a very distinctive groan of disappointment from the crowds around who had been heartened by what mr preaching want had said and who turned out to see the president to live this address no doubt many of them now really disappointed disheartened by that result in the face of so much pressure that the preacher not just from the Spanish Government not just from the Security Forces but also pressure from europe just hop until the moment he was set to make the address that was even another reminder from the Council President donald things that he hoped that mr would not take a result of a surprise that dialogue was the only way forward clearly missed. That goal this evening. And lawrence lee has more from madrid on the Spanish Governments response. If the cattle and government thought that by extending the hand of friendship to spain as they would have put it they might have got the Spanish Government to reply in kind to open negotiations it looks like that was a completely vain hope the response from the Spanish Government already tonights here has been acids and immediates they have said what on earth of the catalans doing announcing independence and yet immediately suspending it they say has no legal basis a popular policy the ruling Party Spokesman described to me as a joke and a full she said there was absolutely no grounds on which they could negotiate at all then the deputy Prime Minister spoke and she said that there would be an emergency Cabinet Meeting on wednesday morning during which the Spanish Government response would be clarified and the Prime Ministers been meeting people from all the opposition parties to discuss a sort of power spanish parliamentary response to what the catalans of said now clearly the catalans hope that by acting in this way they will have suspects and appease the European Union and the that they hope perhaps the European Union will now put some pressure on spain and say well look the catalans have done this now you must come to the table to negotiate in the same way but as is the moment there is no sign whatsoever that the Spanish Government to do anything of the sort theres been another twist in kenyas president ial election with Opposition Leader violating a withdrawal from the vote rewriting but the president says the poll will still go ahead and just over two weeks of data has accused the Electoral Commission a failing to make the changes necessary for a more credible outcome Catherine Sawyer reports from nairobi.

More than half a million refugees have fled from me and more to bangladesh in just six weeks at the shop feel like cut to camp the signs of overcrowding are everywhere. Aid workers worry that extremely unhygenic conditions in camps like this one could make an already awful situation even worse which in turn could lead to a full blown Health Crisis among the many causes of concern are thousands of diarrhea cases reported and treated just in the past week and when you see like thousands of people are suffering from the idea that actually gives you an indication that the locked us up my situation as well as less anguish and situation is not in good shape and if we dont react if we dont think the preventive measures things may go really wrong. Shortages of food water and shelter all indicate how dire things have become recently and we have just talked with a number of people and among nineteen out of them ninety percent have said that theyre leaving on a one minute pardon so the situation is really bad but everybody here down here is working really hard to make that humans.

Time for sport we hear thank you so much three time fee for world cup runners up the netherlands will not feature at russia twenty eighteen after failing to qualify the dutch needed to between by seven goals on tuesday but could only win two know the dutch goal difference was inferior to that of sweden who progressed to a playoff match and robin announced his retirement from International Football after the game Sports Correspondent leigh willing at that game in amsterdam sorry predictably winning by a seven goal margin did profound so much for the netherlands and it is painful for the people who have missed out on world cups before of caused by have i missed thousand and so i missed out a couple of times in succession in the 1980s i would talk nice for them but this is not a great and the one thing i can say about the victory over sweden is that there were flickers of light there were signs that beyond are you bob and i was of course the best player and wont be around for the future but i do have some young talent having i can qualify for major tournaments in the future so we can still qualify for this world cup of course i go into the playoffs and i were hoping to finish top of the great france finish top sweden into the playoffs and evelyns its a long while back now meanwhile portugal are on their way to a first straight world cup appearance they need to know on tuesday to book their spots in russia as for the swiss they will have to try and qualify the play offs. In all they were nine games across europe france when group a after the swedes lost in the netherlands sweden will head to the purse just like the swiss who were beaten by Portugal Group c. Was already won by belgium but greece into a crack in a playoff by hammering gibraltar for no in group age. Argentina are in a desperate position with the last round of south american qualifying having just kicked off they fell behind to a first minute goal in ecuador they have since equalized but a defeat will see them fail to qualify for the world cup for the First Time Since one thousand nine hundred seventy you can see the south american standings here only the top five get a crack at russia in the fifteen will actually have to go into a playoff where they take on new zealand now were going to go to buenos aires where Daniel Schorr joins us from the origin time capital daniel a very good evening to you how are people feeling there given the tense nature of this football match. I dont think ive ever seen quite so much nailbiting in the days leading up to this game as i have in what i continue in the last few days i mean things have got started off the nightmare qualifying campaign the nightmare continued in the first minute when it could all scold a complete silence and hines may and then messi scored that equaliser after twelve minutes we just had another roar go up it sounds like another messi call the Police Action that. Weve got the perth colombia game being shown in the same bar behind me where the colombians are living in one osiris i love to see a game on which argentinas hopes are also so depend that he watching that result very casually that great deal of a great deal of soul searching questioning about how it comes to this the last game of the eighteen game qualifying argentina lost a lot of bolivia they could any jury against venice whale country which baseball is the most popular sport could only draw neil neil against. All rests on this game and i say the build up has been very tense very nervous but nerves a little bit calmer now with argentina leading to argentina two one up as you said so we speak hypothetically when i ask you how much damage would be done to argentina. Doesnt make it to russia. Well i think people here really cant envisage a world cup without argentina as you mention the last time they failed to qualify was nine hundred seventy so they were not released go not really knowing what to make of it i think the Positive Side of it is if they dont qualify there will be some soul searching there will be some investigation into how argentina the team that finished runners up in the last world cup would fail to qualify what is wrong with arjun signed football not enough youngsters being brought through the sorry state of the art and time for the administration that will have to be looked at i think of argentina didnt qualify something positive may come out of that but that would be in the long term future in the short i think this total devastation people upset angry about the team perhaps the best collection of players the countrys ever had not qualifying for a world cup so that we would be it would be a disaster. As we speak to you again a little bit later hopefully with good news from an origin time perspective the south american match is all kicked off about twenty minutes ago ecuador two one down against argentina as it stands the argentines in contention at least for a place at russia twenty eighteen the other matches there are still. Serious unlikely dream of reaching the fee for world cup for the first time has come to an end after they were beaten by australia. This playoff was tied at one one after the first leg of the syrians surged ahead of the gold in just the seventh minute tim cahill got to go back for the home side seven minutes later the thirty seven year old would go on to the winner for the sample in extra time you know advance to a play off either against the United States of america. Dearest Andrew Thomas was at the game and said. Going into this game not many gave the syrians a chance against australia much higher ranked on home ground syria remember a country in the midst of a civil war and yet they fought and they fought and they fought and even in the last three minutes when it looked as though the one. That would have taken them to russia rather than. Australia of course syrians coming out of the ground disappointed but they have pride and i think i talk to some friends. And this is the furthest ive come. To go out next time they can go all the way back to play very well to be quite disappointing the fact that they get away. I have never left. Australia on its going to russia yet they still have another playoff to get through but i think leap forward on that road i could pretty good. Golf well. Despite the loss large crowds gathered in damascus to celebrate syrias run in the qualifying competition so early for the Supporters Team will have to wait at least another four years to appear at a first ever world cup. Just forty eight hours after finishing runner up in beijing says the shanghai masters in controversial fashion for the second year in a row after warnings for sea unity and for smashing a ball into the crowd the australian lost the opening set of the smashed Steve Johnson and decided to stop playing he declined any medical help but has since tweeted that he had a stomach bug and a shoulder injury. There has been a lot of controversy in the United States in the last few weeks when it comes to President Donald Trump and sports teams it all stems from n. F. L. Players who have chosen to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem to protest Racial Injustice some players have chosen not to visit the white house to on a usual invitation from the president to a Championship Winning Team while the Golden State Warriors had their invitation withdrawn recently but on monday the n. H. L. Stanley cup champions the Pittsburgh Penguins were more than happy to on of the invitations to visit with president trying. I didnt feel any pressure i dont think we felt any pressure because weve stated clearly from the get go that. That our acceptance of the invitation of the white house was not political and that its simply. A celebration of this group of players when in the championship. They are most sporting the.
