Welcome to the program theres confusion over whether an arrest warrant has been issued for the ousted leader of catalonia the lawyer for careless bridgeable 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 is currently staying put in belgium and released this statement a short time ago and to spend a lot of yet to go 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 has the latest from brussels. 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 this 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 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 warrant 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 a. While im here in belgium is not the belgian government that decides this case it is a Belgian Court and its of pigeonholes former cabinet members have been jailed and another is being detained in madrid a move the ouster of catalan president has called a serious mistake well Hoda Abdelhamid reports from 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 theres always some anger but first of all. This is 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.

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 were appearing in front of the National Court just a few meters away. 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 in a spain 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 in catalonia.

Well newly released documents recovered from osama bin ladens baucus thun compound shows secret dealings between iran and al qaeda the cia says the files including videos documents on face has provided more insights into how bin laden ran the alqaeda and why he wanted to wage war on the west all state Department Correspondent rosalind jordan reports. According to the cia the man in this wedding video may well be the future leader of al qaida homs a bin laden one of the sons of osama bin ladin the video is one of hundreds of thousands of materials taken during the raid on the Al Qaeda Leaders home in a bought a bought pakistan on may first two thousand and eleven the cia says its trying to give the public as much insight into his operations at the time u. S. Special forces captured and killed bin laden i think its important for everybody in both 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 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 i saw 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 Qaida 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 particularly 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 aljazeera washington throughout the past decade voles an eight hundred journalists have been killed while doing their jobs through the cases have been solved but in mexico twenty seventeen is said to be a record for the number of journalists but it was john home and 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 the entire areas in mexico basically have no serious journalistic coverage or if the gate of journalism going on. 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 fought election season if politicians are willing to use violence against journalists and if there are virtually no consequences for doing so that spells bad news for the more kristie john home and how does it or mexico city.
