Hello there was a thirteen degree day in hong kong couple days ago its not like cold now but the winter has come in so its clear blue skies bit of a breeze from the north but temperatures have come off of it eleven in shanghai twenty one in hong kong not a cloud to be seen is all offshore and thats more or less safe the next day or so there is quite a breeze bringing cloud on severe injuries coast to still cloud bringing rain occasionally to tunnel not in sri lanka and in obvious lot of cloud here in india and further north both of which are largely benign that the one of pakistan probably not the moment some more rain out of this for this is a cloud looking cloud looking picture and you think that martin juice a bit more breeze and the atmosphere clean the air a bit in the north and the indian play it doesnt still Hazardous Conditions from forty their currency in new delhi and that market changed very quickly all this time. We see a complete drop in the wind the gulf youll notice is a breach just catching the edge of among saucily but to get through the red sea for between is nothing so twenty three degrees entire harbor day feels quite nice twenty five and i would be much the same on the west and saw the potential western society its always seems to be hotter in mecca and it still is thirty three degrees. This is a boon for point people right now and technology there is so much going to help people its phenomenal thanks for calling i read this is there a what are you looking for today we get to the blind with their day to day tasks and give them more independence and freedom this feels like its a little gift that sure is a tomato exploration process. We have outside knowledge available to know this story onal jazeera. Welcome back our mind to the top stories here and ill just saudi arabia says it has intercepted a Ballistic Missile toxic targeting its capital riyadh was the third such a time by the who faces since the beginning of november at least forty three people are dead and dozens more remain missing in the philippines following the landslide schools by Tropical Storm kind tough. On the new leader of south africas ruling party the a. N. C. Press corps to unity Cyril Ramaphosa who is currently the funniest president president zuma exwife in the votes of the posse conference. Campaigning for catalonia is now parliament chelation is drawing to a Close Council and head to the polls on thursday for a vote that could decide if the province breaks away from spain cup and whole house more from barcelona as voters consider their options. Its a last brush before campaigning closes a rally for the separatists do ya see your cattle republican left polity. Former speaker of the Regional Parliament karma fork adele is lucky to be here a tool shes free on bail for now but faces criminal charges for rebellion. I dont think anybody at all only imagine what was going to happen we could never have imagined that. After the october secession referendum prosecutors arrested key cattle and leaders for their role in organizing that vote and the spanish Central Government dissolved the capital and parliament a front seat is left empty for Party Leader John curtis judges refused bail and instead kept him in prison fearing he would use the hustings to rabble rouse thursdays parliamentary election isnt specifically about secession but it is the most polarizing issue voters will choose between parties who want catalonia to remain part of spain or others have clearly not renounce their goal of a breakaway republic veteran catherine politician artur miles hopes madrid will look for compromise not confrontation if the Central Government. Had the real positive proposal for the catalan people what they have to do is to put that proposal on the table and to compare this proposal with the proposal for a real independent country but the necessary mothers riding high in opinion polls has little appetite for negotiating her center right Citizens Party has backed madrid in its crackdown against the separatists shell need to build a coalition but believes the only way to resolve the political turmoil is by beating the secessionists in the election well try to win well try to win and i think it is possible we we are seeing the pools and we see that it is it is nothing new to be epic. As the hours tick down activists from the left wing c. U. People know vital votes a still up for grabs even in barcelonas backstreets their party is small but was kingmaker in the last election they make for an easy political bedfellows they stand against spain and the monarchy and thermally in favor of a catalan republic run by the working classes. And karl joins me now from barcelona so whos going to win and will that draw a line under this whole thing. Will sue really this isnt a question of which individual Political Party wins this is going to be a question of Coalition Building now if the unionist bloc if the prospero mission parties if they manage to get a majority in the capital and parliament that could potentially draw the line on that this whole issue of spain would then return devolve powers back to the cattle region there would be an end to this effort to break away that effort to Secession Movement may continue on the streets but certainly not in holman but if then to produce a session partys win a majority in thursdays election that throws up a whole raft of scenarios it could mean that the Spanish Government refuses to allow the parliament to take possession or to take their seats if they dont renounce their aims of creating an independent republic and that would certainly prolong the crisis the other scenario as well is that neither the unionist nor the separate has brought gain a majority and that effectively would create what im melissa calling among governable catalonia and that could also create the possibility that new elections have to be held to see if warm warm group or the other can get a majority in other elections and not of course will prolong this crisis for many more months to go to get the details and whole spring to life in barcelona.
