This is the new life from doha coming up in the show. The Spanish Government insists the planned catalonia secession vote will not go ahead well have live reaction from the streets. Just two Hours International flights to iraqs kurdish region are said to stop as baghdad piles on the pressure after this weeks referendum plus. I appealed to the leaders of myanmar including military leaders condemning racial its of the violence and. The u. N. Says their anger crisis is the worlds fastest developing refugee emergency with more than half a Million People fleeing to bangladesh but eventually youve got to get off the planet if were going to continue as a as a as a human race to boldly go where no one has ever gone before get ready to book your ticket to mama. It seems that neither way neither side has given way in the run up to the referendum in the catalonia region of catalonia on sunday the Spanish Government has insisted there will be no independence on october the first a spokesman repeated the government position that this is session vote is illegal meanwhile the Catalan Government says preparations for the breakaway ballots are in high gear it says more than two thousand three hundred voting stations already farmers supporting the separatist government say theyll use their tractors to guard the voting sites at barcelonas port dozens of Spanish Police vans are lined up prepared to prevent any votes being cast john hendren is following events in barcelona john spains Spokesman Says there will be no referendum does that mean the vote is off how are both sides preparing for this. Well jane it seems like both sides are a little delusional the government of spain on the one hand seems to think they can shut down the vote. You know million or so people there one point seven five Million People live in this region and on the other hand the catalonia side seems to think that it can carry off an election when there are about sixteen thousand federal troops here police and civil guard troops and about seventeen thousand local police but no one knows exactly what they are going to do in this but it seems very clear that police are going to be shutting down polling stations there have been regional meetings of neighbors and of students some of the students want to occupy those polling stations the police intend to close down and some of these neighborhood groups seem to be looking for ways to hold the vote alternatives they just unveiled a ballot box today for example and they have been printing ballots despite the fact that the government is confiscated ten million on one occasion and four million on another so both sides are preparing for this confrontation and as you say this banish government insists that there will not be a vote but it seems almost impossible jane that theyll be able to shut down all of the voting places here and on the other hand the catalonian officials the cattle on officials seem to believe that they can come off with a vote that will approach legitimacy when clearly many of those polling places will be shut down and a number of the people who are against independence have vowed to boycott this election so its not clear exactly what is going to happen on sunday probably some voting will take place but probably not anything like the amount of voting that catalan officials would like and im intrigued to know what happens. Well thats the big question first of all the government of catalonia has said that. The president of catalonia has said that within forty eight hours that is on tuesday they would declare themselves an independent republic if they get the votes for a yes vote and he has been asked what happens every what is the threshold of votes that you need in order to clear this legitimate and the answer was there is no threshold so theoretically that means if there are a handful of votes and they end up in the yes category that they will declare independence now spain on the other side has to make some choices it can crack down hard on this area as it seems to be prepared to do or it can try to get together with the leaders of catalonia and come up with some kind of compromise one of the issues here is taxation the issue in so many uprisings and people here give about twenty percent of the taxes of spain and they claim to get about fourteen percent in return they want to better share of that they want to better deal at least like the Basque Country nearby has theyre able to tax people themselves in to spend most of that money in their region theyre not able to do that here in catalonia and that is one potential compromise but if the government of catalonia wants to go ahead with independence its going to seek recognition from the United Nations its got to try to negotiate trade deals really the trouble just begins then jane and it would be months likely years as weve seen with briggs it before the outcome was final to be the case and lets leave it there john because coming up on his foreign minister is scheduled to join us live here on aljazeera will. The governments reaction to spains latest move not scheduled within the next fifteen minutes here. The kurdish leadership in Northern Iraq is preparing for International Flights to cease landing in the region baghdad has ordered Foreign Airlines to stop flying into the regions airports from fifteen hundred g. M. T. Thats in the less than two hours time domestic flights will still be permitted to fly into ed bill and solomon here the move follows mondays kurdish to session referendum where ninety two percent voted in favor of splitting from iraq baghdad is demanding the Kurdish Regional government cancel result the Central Government also wants control of oil revenue and border crossings it says that the vote was unconstitutional joins us now from Erbil International airport for the latest on the story and im wondering how its playing out there at the airport. Well the last flight. International due to take off will departed about fifteen minutes to turkey and after that all International Flights are suspended only humanitarian and emergency and military flights will be allowed here but with prior and with baghdad domestic flights are scheduled as usual now joining me is. Is the director of your beer International Airport thank you very much for joining me now did this move from baghdad come as a surprise. Surprise because this is not. Many times. The. Russian. Region which wasnt true so im not surprised ok no the reasons i understand is that they want to take over the airport and bring in Border Guards and passport control. From baghdad but isnt that already dickies i dont can you please explain how its working at the moment well to. Be honest i dont understand that that the how can it be made we all know i know you know that you know thats not possible i mean technically thats not possible handover what does it mean handover. I mean exchanging people who actually because we are still one country we talked ali binded to and committed to i say i mean our license our i mean a Traffic Controller everything is done for the nation and after approval go back there but i mean handed over the airport we couldnt understand how in reality that can be done and how where does it meet and have there been any communication with baghdad did they give you a timeframe for this thats true i mean. They gave us three days to implement. But unfortunately there is nobody even to communicate with weve been trying to assume any airport and our minister of just what they should you could just to get told on anyone from back that. We were unsuccessful noted that before those three days we were on daily contact with the minister or back that and also i say eight and all of them all of sudden that instruction came out and everybody disappeared now. Send a letter yesterday officially asking for a meeting so we can sit together and agree on whatever is required from us. As you can see since now i mean until now there is no reply from baghdad so actually even if you want to hand over there is no ready to hand over the airport to and no idea also how long with the suspension of International Flight last well according to the no time that they have already issued is supposed to be up to the twenty ninth of december this year i believe because that decision is not a right decision implemented in that decision. It is not an easy thing because many people and many sector will be affected by that decision i mean its not only these people you have a lot of other people you know traveling through this airport you have humanitarian aid coming through this airport and you have a big number of refugees. Right now that theyre seeking safe haven through this airport so i mean let along the International Community that are available in every right now i mean we have a large number of consulates and you have Many International Lawyer Company working in. The alternative that back the ports that people should go to baghdad and then from there to go outside thats also difficult because first of all back that they dont have chance at light second i mean the size of the airport or capability they cannot. Cope with the increased number of passengers there are many people actually banned by baghdad to go to baghdad so thats not possible thank you very much so there you have it at least officially for now the airport of. Air will be shut for three months thats until the twenty ninth of december what will that hold for old times is something we simply dont know but i can tell you that throughout the day we have seen people who have been earlier day departure day simply because they were scared to be blocked here and also because many not feel safe or comfortable to transit through Baghdad Airport to catch an International Flight thank you for that. A suicide bomber has killed at least four people and injured seventeen others in afghanistan it happened near share a mosque in the capital kabul worshipers were leaving friday prayers the latest attack to target minority. At least twenty three rangar refugees have died and forty are missing when their boat capsized in waters off bangladesh hundreds continue to cross the border from miramar felt told aljazeera they have been warned of an imminent Army Crackdown in Rakhine State a diplomatic editor james bays has more.

And the torching of homes in myanmar they made it onto a boat taking them across the water to bangladesh only for the vessel to sink this tragedy the Un Security Council was told a result of a massive flow of people over half a million in about a month the situation is spittles into the worlds fastest developing refugee emergency and the humanitarian and human rights nightmare the trumpet ministrations policy towards me and my change sharply jury in this meeting with u. S. Ambassador nikki haley demanding the prosecution of members of the meon mom military and the suspension of all arms sales to the country we cannot be afraid to call the actions of the burmese authorities what they appear to be a brutal sustained campaign to cleanse the country of an ethnic minority having heard those scathing comments as National Security adviser gave his response there is no ethnic cleansing and no genocide in. And nick cleansing and genocide are serious charges and they should not be used lately human Rights Groups have been critical of the Security Council they say slow response has failed dismally to keep up with the scale and speed of this crisis both in terms of the ongoing human rights abuses and the resulting humanitarian emergency this meeting and in particular ambassador haleys comments increase the pressure on me but the council remains divided with some notably china suggesting quiet diplomacy may be the best way forward james pays out zero of the United Nations and russia went a step further defying multiple reports from investigators on the ground and blaming rigging armed groups for many of the attacks on civilians in recent days we have received illustration of the fact that the our account ranges Celebration Army was involved with the killing of civilians what was also found were caches of improvised explosive devices there is information that the extremists forced members of the Hindu Community in border villages to leave their homes and to migrate to neighboring bangladesh together with the muslims can be a child has more from coxs bazar in bangladesh.

S. Human rights watch and i am that saying that Border Guards and coast guards i preventing the refugees during daytime to come into bangladesh no one reason could be is a clear danger you know a boat carrying this passenger going into the intercoastal waterway is in that they are doing all that which is very stormy during yesterday was very stormy the so the clear danger to people friending by boat into the intercostal waterway and the strange out of boat. Sinking in this waterways that could be one particular reason but what theyre writing to the refugees are telling us they were in the Central Region and people from there not this corroborates what antonia good care to say on the u. N. Last night that people from the not that telling in the Central Region that get away from there the armys going to crack down very soon even that but this friendly villagers told them that youre going to the army is going to crack down there and this is the big rush again refugees from central zone coming into bangladesh. We tell you a lot about the crisis and show you plenty of pictures of the suffering particularly in bangladesh of course to truly understand a situation theres no substitute for actually being there but the team of the dot com have created the closest thing explains.

Well excuse me well my response is that it is impossible to stop that in the sense that first of all this is not an illegal act second these some think that. Absolutely necessary in the sense that providing a political solution to a political problem and third would each should concern actually it turtle equal sure now that youve got everyone east why the repressive response by the state east going that far they are shutting down websites they are arresting people they are impeding and burning the people to have political debates they are violating the fundamental rights like the freedom of expression the freedom of press so this is something that obviously has not to do with the independence of catalonia eat it really has to do with the democratic structures and principles of the Spanish State ok lets talk about what youve just raised there what the Spanish Government is doing in order to prevent this from happening weve seen tractors coming in in order to protect the voting booth so that the voting can take place i mean how can you guarantee that this is not going to turn violent.
