Hello im so rob and this is the aljazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes from belgium the deposed Catalan Leader calls for the release of eight of his jailed ministers as questions about his own freedom remain unanswered also the cia releases a trove of documents on asama bin laden about his family is revealed along with allegations of secret dealings between iran and al qaeda. Strong hes committed. And u. S. President nominates Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the u. S. Central bank. And inspired by freedom a rare look at the art of the impressionists who were refugees in london. Could have become the welcome to the news hour theres confusion over. Whether an arrest warrant has been issued for the ousted leader of catalonia now the lawyer. Says a spanish judge has approved the warrant but theres been no official word from madrid but what we do know is that spain has requested his arrest bridgeable is currently staying put in belgium and released this statement a short time ago and to spend a lot of yet again if we can expect a long and fierce repression the fury in which the Spanish State has attacked a beautiful european nation is outrageous and is threatening us all but we cannot fail we must fight it we will do this as catalans have always done without violence peacefully and with respect for everybodys opinions well David Chaytor is following these developments from brussels. Demands lawyer here in brussels said that he told him that an arrest warrant had been issued against him and four of the cabinet ministers in exile here in brussels but the National Court that was hearing the case in madrid said there had been no official confirmation of that but it does appear that there is a arrest warrant as youre aware from the warrant will be served against both bush tomorrow and his cabinet ministers here. Probably very early on friday morning and there was a pre recorded interview by a local catalan t. V. Station t. V. Three of which tomorrow here in brussels we dont know where it was but it was a very sharp response to the events that have taken place during the course of thursday in the ports in the druid and who tomorrow said that this was nothing less than a terror attack as he called it on democracy and he warned the catalonians they faced a. Very strong repression in the months ahead not repression was the word he kept using why did he use that word repression because if a warning is. Served against him here in brussels if it can be proved there is a political motive behind. This arrest warrant then he has a very strong chance of receiving asylum here in belgium is not the belgian government that decides this case it is a belgian court. Date of petermans former cabinet members are being jailed and another is being detained in madrid a move that has called serious mistake. Reports now from the spanish capital madrid. Protests in the Capital Capital barcelona in support of the regional leadership summoned to face justice in madrid i feel very very very sad and sudden theres always ends with some anger but first of all i feel very sad this this this way of governing a country like spain is not we dont deserve it neither spaniards nine of the fourteen members of the ousted Regional Government arrived at the court not knowing if they will walk out free. The catherine deposed president remained in belgium in defiance of the court order his lawyer says he is still willing to cooperate with justice but from overseas if they do that he will. Spin the justice. And. Spin. Belgium or the video for and its possible to do the there are no permits to do and search. Charges range from rebellion to sedition and abuse of public funds to finance a referendum they could receive up to thirty years in jail if found guilty there were two hearings taking place at the same time while ministers of the now the government appearing in front of the National Court just a few meters away this speaker of the dissolved Catalan Parliament and five other people were standing in front of the Supreme Court their session got adjourned for a week the defense arguing it didnt have enough time to prepare. The parliamentarians were allowed to walk free although they will be put under Police Surveillance tougher rulings were handed down to the ministers of the ousted Regional Government all but one were remanded in custody without bail pending investigation catherine separatists say the legal procedures are politically motivated a separation of powers in a spain is now a fiction because all powers are working in the line of the Spanish Government and this shouldnt happen in a western democracy this is what we are calling on the wall. Because. It goes now through saving that along and helping catalonia because the future of europe at the stake now. Outside the madrid court emotions ran high among Pro Independence supporters they had travelled from barcelona in a show of solidarity. There are plenty of catalans who still regard push demand and his cabinet as the only region to make government. I doubt that hemy addict labor sales is an associate professor of government at Georgetown University joins me now from washington d. C. Good to have you with us live on aljazeera one can quote legal precedent as much as one wants but the peoples perception in catalonia of their elected officials now in jail is one that madrid will continue to find hard to sell to catalonians that were for or against independence yes. The people in catalonia are very upset the majority of the people are currently very upset they perceive what just happened as the cursor ation of the democratic elected leaders who they voted on the poor three years ago and who the toward they were asked to do bye bye bye by the voters in the sense of like doing all this process to get caught on in the pens so this is really really perceived as a coup to democracy at the lani are creating a lot of anger and rest so a big concern on this issue is that despite the constitutional. Even allow for this referendum and the judges in spain are supposedly in the law and everything is under the constitution many people in catalonia are not perceiving these are saluting men and this might just like create unrest and more problems in an already like difficult setting and of course applying the law in the lower or higher courts. Is one can be interpreted in many ways when dealing with turtle only and politicians but this is now becoming a very high stakes political game for those that have been jailed or not and for the politicians in madrid making those very important decisions. Certainly and there are a number of especially those of lawyers and even like former Constitutional Court members who are challenging some of the decisions that are being taken by by the magistrate by the courts by the judges that are deciding on these issues for instance this is the fact that theyre being charged for rebellion its very contested because there was no filings whatsoever in the actions of the government in the organization of the referendum but took place in october first and also in the car on parliament when they declare independence. A week ago so it is very very contested that these politicians are being charged for rebellion which is a very very serious charge that can lead them up to thirty years in prison so this is like again theres a lot at stake there is of course were seeing now the potential for european arrest warrants to be acted on of course in a way where european. Force intelligence sees lower agencies have to actually enforce a legal document they can only enforce that involved with resting certainly you think thats actually going to happen. I think that this is possible its not out of the table and there is no far the European Union leaders have been arguing that this is the mastic problem that has to be solved within the spanish constitution that has to be solved in spain but certainly the fact that the money is right now in belgium and that there will be this warrant to get him. Arrested in another country in europe will definitely to this internationalization so well see how the appeal leaders react just finally how do you see that scenario because you have obviously the legal entanglements happening right now through arrest warrants everything that were hearing in the spanish calls however i should say is in brussels how embarrassing is this going to be for belgium if theres a really long winded drawn out struggle to get back to spain this by my generate some diplomatic problems and diplomatic issues between spain and belgium and it is important to to emphasize that the that the belgium is also a multinational country that to fly on the leaders have been supporting catalan nationalists and that these might also generate some issues with belgium so i am not a legal expert but politically i think that this my have serious consequences. In europe and in belgium where we should see what has happened for the moment the sellers thank you so much for joining us from washington d. C. Israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has been attending a garlow dinner in london with his british counterpart to reason may to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the Balfour Declaration the declaration signed in one thousand nine hundred seventeen and indorsed by britain led to the establishment of the jewish state of israel and the possession of palestinians from their homeland by the b. Phillips reports. His invitation to downing street this day to israelis an affirmation of friendship to palestinians an insult to reason may says that britain is proud of its support for israel doubtless. At a lecture in london organized by the British Jewish Community a leading historian says the Balfour Declaration should be celebrated as a lead to the birth of a great country for all its problems and troubles for the acts obstinately liberal zionists like me ardently wish were not in the act for all the demolition. And terrorist atrocities on the other side that make a share further and further out of reach israel still. A living breathing debating thriving rejoicing democracy on the streets of ramallah very different sentiments. To many palestinians even britain itself are synonymous with treachery it period and broken promises the man the country that set in motion a century of oppression. Not all british politicians are. At another london gathering the Main Opposition Party says the governments policy towards israel and palestine must change. The opposition labor partys Emily Thornberry said theres no better time then for the British Government to recognise the state of palestine she said that the labor party if elected is ready to take that step the British Government is not about to apologize for the Balfour Declaration no matter what the Palestinian Authority would like a British Government minister said this is being marked with pride and respect but also a degree of sadness sadness because as a british acknowledge when it comes to israel and palestine so much is still unresolved the. Reilley and british Prime Ministers spend the evening at a dinner to mark lord balfours declaration but the british are careful with their language because as rival demonstrations suggest there is too Much Division and anger for britain to truly celebrate this. Part of the philips aljazeera lancaster house in central london. Well theresa may and Benyamin Netanyahu met in dinner for dinner in london to mark the anniversary of the declaration palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas addressed his people on local television he said while the people of palestine cannot accept the hatred prejudice and injustice that the declaration has caused palestine is still committed to a two state solution with israel about said palestinians are suffering under the Israeli Occupation but want to live in peace. Britains new defense secretary says the war against eisel will be his priority Prime Minister treason may appoint a conservative chief whip Gavin Williamson and after Michael Fallon quit the role over allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior.

You you really still convince recovered from osama bin ladens baucus compound shows secret dealings between iran and al qaida the cia says the files including videos documents of the photos provide more insight into how bin laden ran al qaeda and why he wanted to wage war on the west state Department Correspondent in jordan possible.

S. Special forces captured and killed bin laden i think its important for everybody in the United States and the rest of the world have access to these so they can make their own judgments rather having to rely on the interpretation of any government including that of the United States included in this the fourth release of materials from a bottom bod bin ladens personal journal and a policy documents videos of him practicing speeches and what the cia calls propaganda material. Some of the big issues dominating material includes al qaida split with over religious and operational policy bin ladens plans to use the arab spring uprisings for al qaeda as benefit and his plans to rehabilitate his reputation in order to get more support from muslims worldwide. Some of the documents also apparently reveal a much closer link between al qaeda a sunni inspired group and iran a shia country experts say that could be important in light of current u. S. Policy toward terror on long term strategically the government of iran sees al qaeda as a threat true both the state and to the shia religion however short term tactically if they can gain advantage particular against the United States they will cooperate with al qaeda including sheltering leading al qaeda figures if information is power then the International Community now has more insight into how al qaeda operated in two thousand and eleven the challenge will be determining just how relevant this information is today rosalyn jordan al jazeera Washington Well plenty more ahead here on the news hour including for the First Time Since the latest writing a crisis began.

S. Were free of clouds and you get to maybe the Northern Plains states in the great lakes and theres a bit of a differential between the two areas this is still warm potentially its wet this is the winter but its been pushed back across the Canadian Border for the most part it is creeping down through Washington Cascades through oregon and montana and this i think is where well see temperatures more or less stay where they are look at that differential minus ten calgary plus six in seattle same time you got ten in chicago and mass two in winnipeg so i guess where the snow is going to be you know when you pick a good guess but more especially come back to the Higher Ground in the u.

Welcome back youre watching out is there is news arms a whole robert our top stories the ousted leader of catalonia has warned of what he called a long period of repression by spain gallus boojum law is staying put in belgium the Spanish Government is expected to announce a warrant for his arrest on friday eight of his ministers have been jailed in madrid over the regions independence declaration also israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu was in london to mark the teen or any of the Balfour Declaration when britain from is the creation of a jewish homeland in palestine hes marked the occasion with the britons trees.

Weve had a visit now and son suchi to iraq and state the First Time Since this crisis shes been there shes seen things for herself what does she now need to do the refugees the injury fijis have a right to return to their to their to their home seemed Rakhine State but to do that you have to recreate the conditions for them to feel safe to go back and that means. Addressing finally the issue of citizenship which is really the fundamental crux of the matter here youve made strong comments on this do you believe that the Security Council has been Strong Enough or would you like them to take further action i think the Security Council to use their jargon remains seized of the matter and that is already something i dont think they have found us often happens yet the unity necessary to propose and to put forward the the solution you know if you think of syria all the years which we have waited for the Security Council to fight who have unity on on on resolutions on syria these are this is the difficulty this is why my message to the council today is lack of International Cooperation which can happen here at the council favors the refugee flows or rather prevents solutions to refugee flows from being established and therefore these refugee flows to and so its time for them to step up the council time to step up and to agree i would say this is the key word. Hundreds of refugees have been forced to dig wells in search of water in a tense standoff on pop or new guineas landless island about six hundred refugees have barricaded themselves inside a formal straightly and run prison camp because theyre worried about attacks from hostile locals Andrew Thomas has more of these videos sent exclusively to aljazeera by refugee give a glimpse of life now inside what was the man a silent refugee prison the men collecting water in we been when it rains they have also dug a well.

But other locals a seen as a threat australia wants refugees to move to this accommodation in the local town but while some looks ready other housing is still under construction and refugees say none of it is protected from Papua New Guinea and who they fear will break in and attack them those fears are unfounded says the australian immigration minister whos critical of political opponents and pressure groups like amnesty i want to close medicines quickly as possible but it doesnt help when youve got the grains and other so telling people not to engage not to move a very difficult situation even worse i put that to one refugee is its principle that is making you stay where you are are you being to some extent stubborn you dont want to be pushed around by australia and. You know what. The refugees are painting some hope for new zealand its new Prime Minister said on thursday her predecessors offer to australia to resettle one hundred fifty refugees still stands.

Next week it comes at a time of strained relations between the nato allies last month or consulates in the two countries suspended Visa Services to each other citizens the tit for tat disagreement was sparked by the arrest of a local employee working at the u. S. Consulate in turkey to africa now where the number of children in nigeria dying of illnesses related to pollution is on the rise and all operations in the delta region are being blamed researchers say sixteen thousand infants died in twenty twelve but that figure continues to grow with even more contamination of food air and water and there are support from my jury as a delta region. For many fishing communities of the delta having children was a blessing from an early age they could help with the work but thats more difficult now fisherman says his children began suffering from strange illnesses with fatal consequences. The pollution from the air the water and the fish eat has killed two of my children the rest of the family for me down to the youngest everyone is ill its all because of the oil with no savings he cant afford to take his family to see a doctor. For many who eventually get to hospital its almost too late. Doctors in this hospital say more than seventy infants and children are brought here on an average day with complications from pollution this is just one of dozens of hospitals in rivers state and infant deaths have been only increase as the pollution gets worse and this is why the rivers and the creeks are talked with crude oil the fish caught here are contaminated the farmlands too and even in some semi urban areas of the delta Drinking Water from the tap is a huge risk as underground water is not safe. With another little look at the effect on the respiratory system worth a try to look at the kind of earth crisis to block him a religious problems have also been looted and yet i was there was one of these i think that liver function tests experts say its hard to get an accurate number of infant deaths caused by pollution related illnesses many cases arent reported either because their parents cant afford to pay for treatment or because of the remoteness of where they believe many communities in the delta region im left with little or no choice they have to rely on a polluted environment to eat drink and to breathe how many agrees aljazeera in nigeria has delta while staying on the continent the president s of south sudan and sudan have met in khartoum to try and ease tensions its other kids their visit to the sudanese capital since the country split in twenty eleven following a twenty two year civil war the leaders address border disputes and mutual accusations of supporting rebels in each others territory.

N. Day two ended puti for crimes against journalists but in mexico twenty seventeen is said to be a record year for the number of journalists murdered john holdren reports. Eleven killed so far this year just for doing their jobs because one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists among them happy about there is a middle slava breach internationally renowned reporters who investigated government corruption and organized crime now theyre gone but its not just that there thats worrying press freedom groups its what comes after after half year was worth it even in these two high profile cases months later still no ones been arrested one of the main consequences of the impunity is that journalists start censoring themselves they stop reporting on organized crime to stop reporting on corruption and as a result entire areas in mexico basically have no serious journalistic coverage or if thats the gate of journalism go. Free speech groups estimate that ninety nine point seven percent of verbal or physical attacks against journalists go on punished in mexico. Ricardo sanchez is the special prosecutor for crimes against free speech in the last six years its only been three convictions whats going on. This is a very complicated issue the federal government and Attorney Generals Office know we face a big challenge in beating the impunity. We created a group to execute arrest warrants with the federal police and get people before a judge so were doing important work i recognize weve got a long way to go were working hard with the state governments. Cinna lower stay in the grip of crime is one of the most dangerous for reporters. Martin didnt fled after getting threats it still bothers him that the articles he and other journalists risk their lives for make little impact in an often openly corrupt society. I think sometimes its kind of a suicidal calling you wonder why should we run these stories because we know things arent going to change. Martin and around. Five hundred other journalists are in a Government Protection program that free speech groups say authorities themselves are actually responsible for the majority of attacks on the press and that really doesnt bode well as we head into whats going to be a fiercely full election season if politicians are winning to use violence against journalists and if theyre of the consequences for doing so that spells bad news for the moat chris a john home and how does it a city also had him on aljazeera and sports world number one rafael the dolphins for a quarter final spot in power those details coming up with.
