Carry this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes catalonia suppose later calls puts them on calls for continued democratic opposition to madrid and three governments imposition of direct rule. On mars government takes over farmland abandoned by a hedge of fleeing persecution. A u. S. Grand jury reportedly approves the first charges into the alleged russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen president ial election. At first too late now suspended indefinitely kenyas Election Commission calls off voting and for Opposition Strongholds to fears of more violence. Im joining us now with the latest including of racism overshadows game three of baseballs weald series. And the past hour that oppose catalan later karlas poor judgment has called for a democratic opposition to stand against madrid takeover of the region. But of the from. The best way to defend what we have called good so far is to have a democratic opposition to article one five five this is the conclusion of the deliberate attempt against cattle who have for many centuries felt different but we have to overcome any threats and to act in a civic and peaceful manner. And for simmons as live in barcelona so andrew still not a lot of clarity on what happens next really on and on either side what what did you gather from what i was saying. He didnt say a great deal did he rachelle but he was talking about a democratic resistance to why he didnt use the word repression he did in his previous address but he is really calling on supporters to peacefully support him in resisting the power of spain coming down on this region and taking over now what that amounts to remains to be seen for obvious reasons theyre not going to give a preview of what they plan to do but one thing does appear to be the case and that is that this is rolling out in a sort of slow motion effect once again its being one step at a time its not one of those crises that just suddenly snowballs although it was a very dramatic time on friday when this article one hundred five was rolled out on the declaration of secession came just ahead of those powers being invoked and thats the point that colors speech tomorrow is making he didnt make it in his speech but everything rolls on from this that is that it was a democratically elected government and it made a democratic vote the opposition most of the opposition boy called it its but it was seventy votes against ten and that was a democratic process as far as the government he runs is concerned and he claims that article one five five rolled out after that and that therefore the secession was in place before august article one five five was put in place so this is all perhaps a bit technical but it matters a lot because as far as hes concerned hes still president and as far as his cabinet is concerned theyre all ministers as well i will put one thing right we did hear a report that he was speaking from the government buildings here in barcelona he wasnt hes in jerome no which is his home and it appears that all ministers have gone home for the weekend while. People try and work out what on earth is going on in this region so it is it is really it is really a little hard on folk who dont think. It isnt a funny situation and it is a very very serious one but there is it has to be said that the people there the important aspect of all of this and there. They are confused and and they are not quite sure that isnt you could argue thats not just recession is fault its also the fault of madrid perhaps in Communications People want to know just what is going to play out and what were hearing is a number of things we heard that soraya signs to santa maria she is the deputy Prime Minister and she has said that shes going to appoint a series of people who will effectively run this region and she is in effect in the position of all of the president now although she obviously doesnt go by the title shes deputy Prime Minister of spain will she be here in person thats unclear its unlikely she will appoint a series of delegates for want of a better word and then as far as the interior ministry goes appointments are being made sackings are taking place particularly in the areas of the police and there will be a roll out over the coming week of of government government from direct rule with elections to follow snap elections to follow in december we shall so and you make the point as puts them on did as well that this one and that and the parliament and and the cattle on parliament but it needs to be sad that there is by no means any unanimity in the region in catalonia that everybody there wants this secession. So as a miss the most part of the question no i put it into absolutely absolutely im saying i think it needs to be reiterated that theres theres no unanimity in the region that everybody that is a catalonian a catalog actually wants the secession. Well no i mean you have a point there you have a point in this in the sense that the there is you can do the mathematics forever in a day but there was there was a referendum which was hugely affected by the fact that it was declared illegal by the Spanish States and there was an obvious stay away from people who want to may have felt they wanted to vote yes in a slightly more peaceful situation that was it was more perhaps legal for want of a better word but that is history the situation now is that whatever the squabbles are about the legalities of everything there are now a gulf between the secessionists and those who dont want to break away from spain bigger now and one would argue bigger now than ever and that is something thats going to take a long time to fix regardless of where this region goes the police force for example. Which is a seventeen thousand strong body of police men and women and they are now under orders to be professionally neutral in their views and they could be ordered by madrid to intervene in any civil unrest all of our sources who actually predicted what was going to happen on friday way ahead of the event he insists that most is will be used actively in situations of public order because it is more of a engage force with the people its more likely to get corporation than the National Police which. In effect dban ised by their actions in the referendum they are people here feel very strongly that any any situation where the spanish National Police are engaged is going to cause immediate flare ups even flying over with helicopters join the die. Ministrations its causes a big. A big response from people on the ground so expect to see a role of Peaceful Demonstrations there are many on sunday right across the country not just here in barcelona not just the procession is but also the you as well also expect to see a role of more and more political moves taking power from this region to madrid ok Andrew Symonds live for us in barcelona andrew thank you so lets take a look back at the events over the past month that got us all to this point so on october first caroline leaders defied a Spanish Supreme Court ruling and held a referendum on suspected secession is andrew reference down despite violence from Spanish Police order to stop the polling a turnout of just over forty two percent saw a landslide vote for independence a week later about fifty thousand people rallied in madrid to oppose catalonia the drive to secede the Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy also demanded the regional leader clarify whether he had actually declared independence well ignored the deadline said on friday his parliamentary as part Parliament Rather voted to proclaim its independence immediately after spain senate voted in favor of article one fifty five of the constitution to let the Spanish Government dissolve catalonia administration and impose direct rule from madrid so James Collins he is a professor of politics and policy at St Marys University and hammon he joins us from london via skype and we appreciate your input so much there is a lot to discuss sara guess lets start out broad and then well narrow down to madrid broadly speaking what role does the e. U. Or do other countries in the e. U. Play and what is happening now or can they play and whats happening now. Well its very important to emphasize that you know a declaration of independence really Means Nothing that means National Stage unless its recognized and so you see the reactions of the International Community crucially me sort of situations and what weve already seen is the United States has come out and said very clearly we respect spains territorial integrity the British Government has done the same the french government a whole slew of governments around the world have already come out and said no as far as were concerned this changes absolutely nothing catalonia is still an integral part of the Spanish State and will remain as such so you know it really is very significant in in how quickly that has happened and this is really i think through all of us who follow Secessionist Movements were expecting this that there was never any realistic prospect that this declaration of independence was going to get wider support the question though now is blurry much about internal spanish politics and how that plays out and if that shit but any reason turned violent then you know its not for me to respond absolutely i so lets talk about that now what what is on the line now for how the thread handles us because when you see the video of how this referendum played out in that video going around the world im certain that there are people in madrid that wish maybe they could take that back or handle that differently so Going Forward what is necessary for their parliament and madrid to do to i dont know manage this tamp this down and im not quite sure well i mean what i would say is if there was a playbook for how to handle Secessionist Movement especially in a Democratic State then spain has pretty much broken every rule that you can imagine its handled its atrociously throughout all of this i mean what really is surprising is that all the polling that showed for a very long time that the majority track lands were opposed to independence however at the same time a majority. Wanted a say on their future so it was very much a chance to give us a boat and were going to vote against this but the more more spain resisted that vote actually the more drove independent support sympathy and i think you know the referendum was you know it was a it was a crucial moment in many ways because the police going in as you noted in such heavy handed passion you know it will make some people think twice but i think it will also be in a lot of trouble and looked at that and said look you know is this the Spanish State that i want to be paul tuttle and so there is this polarized nation which is very apparent in society and which makes it as you say a very very confusing situation as to what really happens now and what spain needs to be doing sadly there seems to be no indication of soul the Spanish Government wants to try and sit down with the track level sources and say look you know how do we try and resolve this mess and i think to be only stick it its hard to see you know where this goes from here quite a time a lot to be witnessing and james her legacy thank you very much for your insight we appreciate it. Myanmar state media says the government will harvest rice from farmland abandoned by right hand to families who fled violence in northern Rakhine State the paddy fields cover seventy one thousand acres and lungs al the area at worst affected and the crackdown by the man mark military against the right hench as wisely as more from him gone. There are a couple of ways to look at this one is that this is simply a practical solution the rice crops are ripe for harvesting and if they were left to just stand in the fields they would go to waste so the myanmar government has put in place a plan to harvest the crops bringing in combine harvesters and laborers to do the work and Agricultural Ministry spokesman has told us that the local government is in charge of the harvest and the eventual fail and the proceeds of the sale will go to the local government over there no details on how they plan to use it but the other issue is this raises ethical questions as the asia director of Human Rights Watch puts it you really cant call a crop ownerless when youve used a campaign of arson and violence to drive the owners from land and this is what the Myanmar Military has been accused of doing and the other issue pertains to future use is this harvest perhaps the first step of the myanmar government to appropriate the land from range of refugees whove been driven to bangladesh now if it is it will raise other questions what about repacked ration and resettlement of the refugees now granted we are a long way from that bangladesh and myanmar officials havent yet worked out details of how they plan to repatriate range of refugees but they will have to be other questions that that need to be asked such as where will they return to and what will they return to if their farms and villages are no longer there a cool officials in bangladesh coxs was are proposing a voluntary sterilization plan for overcrowded or hench refugee camps they want Central Government to approve a plan for both were injured men and women aid groups at the camps say they are working with limited resources and a lack of Family Planning can make things worse.

B. I. Director is leading this investigation its not yet know what the accusations are but any one charge could be taken into custody as early as monday rob reynolds joins us live from washington d. C. With these pretty pretty dramatic developments so rob there is a lot we we dont know but what it is what is it is that we do know well as you bitch and rachelle that we dont know exactly who is under indictment and on what charges because those that information is sealed a classically in for in the investigation of this type and Robert Mueller has managed many investigations of. Great complexity you start the process the prosecutor investigator vista gator would start with the lower ranking people. Put pressure on them possibly in the form of indictments and and charges and then see if they will make a deal and provide information on people who are higher up the chain in the conspiracy if there is a conspiracy now muller has been investigating a broad range of charges and leads. Stemming from the finding that russia in meddled in the us election in two thousand and sixteen and. Investigating the question of whether the Trump Campaign was involved directly with in collusion with the russians and whether trump then tried to cover up or impede or obstruct justice in the investigation of that possible alleged school luzhin notably by the firing last may of james komi the the director of the f b i. He he tromped the president later admitted in a Television Interview that he had fired komi in connection with the ongoing russian probe that led to mullers appointment as special counsel and trial later boasted in the oval office to Sergei Lavrov the Russian Foreign minister and the Russian Ambassador sergey piece of yak about how the komi firing had lifted great pressure off of him. The komi excuse me the moeller investigation is also looking into the financial dealings of the trumps the trump family and its associates.

Agents raided his home in search of of the possible of documents or other information man afford was paid. More than seventeen Million Dollars by a pro moscow Ukrainian Political Party but did not register as a Foreign Agent with the United States is that already as is required by law other possible.

C. Rob thank you yes defense secretary has warned north korea against escalating its nuclear and missile tests James Madisons in the south korean capital seoul for two days of talks he says the relationship between the two allies has taken on a new urgency and that heightened tension on the Korean Peninsula make no mistake any attack on the United States or our allies will be defeated uni used of Nuclear Weapons by the north will be met with a massive military response effective and overwhelming twenty bartley is following developments from the south korean capital. There were strong words from the United States defense secretary he was here in seoul on part of a two day visit partly to discuss the defense of the peninsula which is an annual thing between the u. S. And south korea and partly to pave the way for president trance visit on the seventh and eighth of november now that visit in itself is creating increased tensions here and general mattis was at pains to warn north korea that any Nuclear Attack with weapons would be met with a very very massive military response and he did intimate that north korea could not win in that situation having said that his tone in the last two days has been more conciliatory than that of President Trump you may remember his fire and fury speech at the United Nations in august and also his threat to totally destroy north korea he has resorted to a word a war of words of mass destruction and people are worried that the world may turn to weapons there was a lot of concern here the United States is up to its defenses its bought three naval carrier groups into the region its phone its moved its. Stealth fighters to japan just in case the president trance visit produces some kind of reaction from north korea theyve conducted six nuclear test most of those have been underground but the north Korean Foreign minister has warned that they will conduct an Atmospheric Nuclear test and who knows what that will provoke but there is a lot of concern on the Korean Peninsula that will happen what will happen general mattis is said basically the actions of north korea are provoking and accelerating the situation and causing a greater. Greater happy possibility of conflict on the Korean Peninsula but he also stressed that the need was for diplomacy for talking he said the United States would not want war it wanted a denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula now also said that he couldnt imagine any situation whereby the United States would accept a Nuclear North Korea now north korea is well on its way to being a Nuclear Power so something has to give the big question here is what will give and who will give it.
