Well what were seeing is a real hardening of positions on both sides weve just had a meeting of the cattle and parliaments executive body and what theyve decided is that on thursday they will have a full session of parliament to try and formulate their response to madrids decision to impose direct rule on the region but weve heard over the past couple of days from catalan regional leaders decrying this decision by madrid as outrageous saying that it slams the door to any future dialogue and we saw hundreds or thousands of process session supporters on the streets here in barcelona wanting to have their voice heard on the other side you have those in madrid officials the government to Say Something simply had to be done to control the situation they say that you cant just have a region of the country that decides it wants to break away we heard from spanish officials saying that simply wont happen in any other european nation and therefore it wont happen here that is why the government intends to plow ahead with its plans to impose direct will there will be a meeting of the senate in madrid on friday and will be at that meeting that we expect those plans to be approved. Japans Prime Minister shinzo ave has strengthened his partys stance against north korea after he was returned to power with a resoundingly election victory his conservative Coalition Won a huge majority and this will allow him to pursue his lifelong goal of reviewing the postwar pacifist constitution in japan to try and strengthen the military sarah clarke now from tokyo. It was the election result she had hoped for his liberal Democratic Party and Coalition Partner won three hundred twelve of the four hundred sixty five seats delivering them a two thirds majority in parliament. North korea played a central role in his campaign and by wants to strengthen diplomatic channels pledging Greater International Cooperation conflict sort of we will conduct strong diplomacy as tensions over north korea are increasing on the fifth of next month President Trump is scheduled to visit japan kindly called me by phone already today and when he visits we will spend time discussing the issues of north korea and aim to confirm our close Alliance Voters werent just focused on north korea in this election but some felt opposition parties found to provide them with an alternative agenda. That was worth voting for. Position parties need to become stronger and the result reflected many peoples wish to see that happen i mean. Instead of supporting the liberal Democratic Party actively i think voters didnt have any choice. The newly formed party of hope which many considered was the major threat didnt get as many seats as expected the other new party on the block the constitutional Democratic Party has become the main opposition tripling the number of seats in the lower house since i will say this election victory as a strong mandate to deliver on his reform agenda and act on his Lifelong Mission to revise japans pacifist constitution and give the countrys Self Defense Forces a more active role but the issue is controversial and voters are divided on a constitutional challenge with the escalating Nuclear Threat from north korea will be hoping its enough to convince voters to back its campaign to allow japans military to respond to direct threats but any change to the constitution requires approval first by two thirds of both the upper and lower house and then a public referendum sarah clarke aljazeera tokyo.

He talked tough on his way over blaming the Saudi Led Coalition for the impasse but in the region the tough talk stopped meetings with the crown Prince Mohammed bin samana asked him to please and gauge pleasing gaijin dialogue. Theres not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. And so we cannot force talks of on people who are not ready to talk still us secretary of state Rex Tillerson took great pains to compliment the guitar hes going to progress has been made in a number of important efforts in our counterterrorism joint efforts including sharing of terrorist list terrorist financing weve participated in a number of counterterrorism technical sessions and training and significant steps have been taken to enhanced aviation security. He didnt criticize the blockading countries not even after the saudis seemed to publicly slight him by sending the deputy minister of protocol to the airport for his part that qatar foreign minister is clearly frustrated by the behavior of the four blockading countries. I also feel sorry to say that they are not ready to face this issue and to tackle with dialogue the reasons for this crisis these countries have resorted to under blue magic methods that have nothing to do with modern diplomatic channels and this is no good secretary tell us and isnt leaving the region and he is expected to do one more press conference this time on his own here in doha so that means he has one more chance however unlikely to try and put some public pressure on the blockading countries to try to resolve this crisis as it begins to enter its fifth month.
