Aljazeera nairobi. Poll is a writer and political analyst and nairobi she says the decision leaves the vote rerun up in the air. Before nine a. M. Today the law was on rayless side you dont just have to look at the constitution and elections act but can is elections actually governed by five different bodies of law and looking at all those things and together at least on paper by nine a. M. This morning the law was on his side what changed was the fact that we had another election petition filed by one of the candidates who conceded the august eighth election i could do a court and in that decision the high court basically said everybody gets to be on the ballot and we have the end with the candidates that we had in june and august version of the elections or and that basically throws right was gabble into disarray into disarray because its basically says. Instead of what the previous regime said which is what one candidate pulls out of a rerun we have to go back to nominations now theyre saying well well just do the same thing that we did in august all over again and its not clear how the commission is going to move forward because these two pieces of law dont exactly read well together spain has given counsel on slater karlas puts them on until monday to say whether or not he has declared independence if catalonia does press song with secession the Spanish Government says it will take away the regions political autonomy lawrence lee has more from madrid but really it does not like being told what to do by the council and for once parliament is united as the journalist speculated the cabinets agreed the spanish line back against the capital and that their independence will happen. The Prime Minister said you say it out loud and we will take back your powers no dice no deal and you have until monday. Youve held a Cabinet Meeting and weve decided the cattle and government must confirm whether or not they have declared independence regardless of whether its going to take effect or not this is a requirement necessary before any other measures can be taken by the government including invoking article one fifty five. So back it goes to barcelona madrid no society there is split some separatists want to session now others a nervous half the population hates the whole idea how long should they wait we know there are very important governments and people around the world who are ready to assist in mediation we got the group of the elders with coffee with a bank a moon with desmond tutu who are ready to exercise their mediation the only small detail which we are missing is that we have nobody on the other side of the table because just said he was not accepting mediation. All the while europe looks on surely not another country fracturing itself there is no support at all in brussels for the Catalan Independence movements madrid knows that it is the side with the powerful friends. Many people in madrid regard roys statements his demand that counts alone yet clarify its position on independence as a shrewd one by putting the ball straight back in catalonia courts it potentially exposes divisions inside the independence movements that might buy madrid some time take the pressure out of the immediate situation but also leave the crisis open ended. Where the protesters in barcelona go from here is a good question madrid would like nothing more than for them to turn on each other destroy their own movements that would rule out the need for mediation which madrid insists there is no place Laurence Li Al Jazeera which it. So where can catalonia. Go from here china hall takes a look. We dont know what hes going to say or when hes going to say it we havent a hint of what the governments position might be from an interview with aljazeera by a Senior Member of his coalition in which he basically says look what theyre offering here is dialogue without preconditions theyre talking about a framework for mediation that really doesnt have a lot of distance to travel because we just consistently said theres no place for mediation mr a hole in parliament reiterated that on wednesday afternoon there is however another avenue of talks which may have opened up that comes courtesy of the head of the socialist party the main opposition in egypt saying that hes reached an agreement with roy in the Popular Party to set up a commission in parliament to spend six months looking at constitutional reforms in the way that the regions are government but basically to give them more autonomy now this begins to look like a real enticement to the catalans to mr zimmerman in terms of saying there is a way for you to end up with a constitutional settlement with greater autonomy but the price for that would be to give up independence altogether and that is a price that may be too high for mr amount to pay thats more ahead in the news hour including on the defense donald trump gets back at reports he wants to increase the u. S. s Nuclear Arsenal and in sport for secretary general Jerome Valcke he approaches the court of arbitration for sport to have its ten year ban from football lifted. Your secretary state Rex Tillerson has called on turkey to provide evidence for accusations that local u. S.

S. Base turkish businessman who attacked turkish government said was behind this failed coup a year ago so this is b. S. A war has been continuing and its been a real concern both to people some people here in the u. S. And obviously to those in turkey they want to get this resolved fairly quickly ok and along that those lines the Deputy Foreign minister for turkey is in washington he seems to be trying to tamp things down right absolutely he says the relationship between the u.

And defense secretary james mattis reaffirmed today that he is continuing to work with his counterpart in in turkey he says the military operations are continuing hes continuing to talk to again his counterpart in turkey they are a strong ally turkey is a strong ally with the u. S. And there is a Nato Air Base in turkey so both sides hoping that this dispute over visas can be resolved soon all right diaspora and washington thank you canadas Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau has wrapped up his trip to washington d. C. A visit dominated by the future of the north American Free trade agreement as President Donald Trump suggested that tough talks to rework nafta could fail and mexico might be dumped from the three country pact but you know as optimistic about the negotiations he says that the meeting with trump went well the talks were held against the backdrop of another trade dispute over a hefty duties the u. S. Has slapped on canadian mayme made by air airplanes alan fisher has more from washington d. C. With the forefront of talks drawing up a new north American Free trade agreement underway here in Washington CanadianPrime Minister dustins who door came to meet with President Donald Trump the donald trump has been on the record since the moment he moved into the white house that he would like to see a new nuff agreement an agreement that has been in place for almost twenty five years and both canada and mexico see until this point has been working relatively well but donald trump wants to see a new modernize their agreement and Justin Trudeau says that is understandable in the circumstances but while donald trump says he may want to walk away Justin Trudeau believes there is the possibility that they can come up with a new deal and he says its up to the politicians to convince people why it is such a good thing part of getting these trade deals to move forward requires us to get support public support for these trade deals and demonstrating that were hearing the concerns that people feel and responding to them i think helps significantly in making the case that trade can and will be good for all citizens before Justin Trudeau came here to the Canadian Embassy to address the media he was sitting in the oval office with donald trump point donald trump said whether or not there was a new deal really still is in the hands of a negotiator its possible we wont be able to make a deal and its possible that we will we have a great personal relationship and we have a relationship now as as two countries i think that useless is ever but well see if we can do the kind of changes that we need we have to protect our workers and in all fairness the Prime Minister wants to protect canada and his people also the City Government to set a time scale of the end of the year to come up with a new nafta agreement Justin TrudeauStill Believes that possible but well go from here in washington so mexico will meet with the president to discuss the progress in the talks what to do if there cant be an agreement. Trampas also denied reports he wants to dramatically increase the size of the u. S. Nuclear arsenal but he admits there are key policy differences between himself and Top Republicans in his cabinet and in congress our White House Correspondent kimberly reports great honor to have you both here at an Oval Office Meeting with canadas Prime Minister u. S. President donald trump hit back at reports he wants to increase u. S. Nuclear capabilities to ten times its present size though its use fake news by n. B. C. Which gives a lot of fake news lately and its frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write the u. S. President has repeatedly voiced his frustration with the media and almost as frequently an apparent willingness to exercise military might against north koreas missile threat. So a desire to increase americas Nuclear Arsenal wouldnt be surprising but for some like republican senator bob corker trumps words are concerning. Trump is ridiculed corker openly for his statements exposing an escalating rift between the president and some republicans in congress and even members of his own cabinet. One of those said to be out of step in favoring diplomacy over force with north korea secretary of state Rex Tillerson who has again seen his efforts undermined i think i have a little bit. Different attitude on north korea than other people might have. And i listen to everybody but ultimately my attitude is the one that matters is that such infighting carried out in public which could involve cabinet discussions over Nuclear Weapons may put the president s policy goals in peril president s the only name power they have. Its to persuade. And once you become that person who is putting yourself in between people on fights as opposed to bring them together its much more difficult to go and ask for something and get something done this latest white house rift comes at a particularly bad time on another of Americas Nuclear fronts the president has until the end of the week to recertify irans compliance with the terms of the twenty fifteen agreement to limit Irans Nuclear program or pull out of the deal kimberly helped get aljazeera washington. U. N.
