Part of canada to force muslim women to remove face coverings when using any Public Service even stepping onto a bus i mean or chapell monitoring the online reaction to that and our top story so send us your thoughts using the hashtag. With a news grid live on air and streaming online three you tube Facebook Live and at aljazeera dot com thank you for joining us has been threatening to do it for weeks now spains Prime Minister is taking the first steps towards taking control of Regional Government money and are always says hell hold a special Cabinet Meeting on saturday when the trigger article one five five of spains constitution has been pressuring catalonia leader to back away from his threats to declare independence after secession was approved during a bond referendum earlier this month now the term article one for. It is being thrown around a lot but what does it mean exactly in that shell its the part of spains constitution that says autonomy is regions like cuts lonia must meet their obligations to the spanish states if not spains government can force them to using all necessary measures these measures could include stripping catalonia government of its powers what would happen then while given that article one five five has never been use its very hard to know one big question though is how madrid would go about seizing control over catalonia and how people might react lets bring in there if need broncos in boston in a forest so leave article one five five weve heard about it for some time now and the threats of imposing it talk us through the process how exactly is a Central Government in madrid going to do this. Well were into uncharted territory here as you said yourself there is no precedent for this so what could happen next is really down to an awful lot of speculation political analysts and constitutional experts who have been looking at the possible options and they say that it boils down to a series of different possible scenarios whats very likely is that were likely to see a stripping away of some of the devolved powers that the region has to be able to send taxes and and other things like that into including the control over education and health care and so on and so forth that also includes crucially control of the Regional Police that is youll probably remember in the wake of the referendum that took place in october the first those members of the Regional Police actually ended up being implicated or drawn into the dispute between National Police obviously representing madrid and the region to so be a big moment if they are suddenly under the control of Central Government in madrid but there are patchwork of different possibilities the very worst we could and up seeing the whole government here in catalonia being replaced where into uncharted territory as a said were at a crossroads whats clear is we cant go back but whats to come is really im certain. Spains political crisis is deepening after failing to comply with the Spanish Government catalonia it will now be stripped of its autonomy morse Eleven Oclock you for in the absence of a clear response we note that he has not answered our request and therefore we will continue procedure of triggering article one five five of the constitution to restore legality in catalonia the capital and president. Had been given until thursday morning to clarify and revoke any independence claim last week he unilaterally declared independence and similar suspended it to allow for talks but instead of clarifying his position sent a letter to madrid calling for an end to repression and for dialogue Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy has repeatedly refused to mediate with the secessionists were now in uncharted Territory Article one five five has never been invoked in mainland spain before they could see devolved powers over the raising of taxes Education Health care in the police soon in madrid hands of the very worst you could see the suspension of the government and the arrest of its leaders its hard to imagine any of these scenarios unfolding without more massive protests or perhaps even a change of tactics i think theres no possibility of following like taking arms praising arms and or even like. Seeing the birth of a terrorist group i dont think that is a possibility i dont know but some kind of more aggressive i dont want to say by land but more stronger organized insurgency in terms of political insurgency and organization i think its its a problem. But madrid to show restraint Amnesty Internationals urged the Spanish Government to avoid a repeat of these scenes on the day of the catalan referendum. Theyve also asked for two independence leaders jailed by spanish judge to be released the Spanish Government sixpack to to finalize plans for direct rule at a Cabinet Meeting on saturday. In response the catalan leadership say theyll now formalize independence with a vote of the Regional Parliament this tense standoff is entering a critical new phase. Sone of a saturday a crucial day then for both bossanova and madrid how are people in catalonia reacting to these latest developments. Well as news filters out through the people who are based here in barcelona or in the rest of catalonia or most certainly amongst people who voted for independence we are of course expecting some big reaction from now here in barcelona itself the weather is incredibly bad but we have seen a smattering of some very small protests here in front of the general attack where the catalan Regional Government sits there is also word of a about the smaller demonstration thats expected later on on thursday evening but it seems as if everyone for the time being here is keeping their powder dry until saturday colace put your mom the regional president had warned that he may well give some sort of announcement on saturday we know that key members within his Coalition Government have been asked to keep their diaries free potentially for emergency session of the government what exactly then next movies unclear we know the push of all have said in the past that if Central Government doesnt vote on its own five five that they will then officially declare independence and that requires a vote in the Regional Parliament so thats what weve got our attention on next that we assume will be a very very big moment for the catalonia leadership needs walker in both and i thank you very much for that need while next get an idea now how this is playing out online with our social media producer and your ship out well so much of the online conversation over the past few days has centered around the arrest of two independence leaders with lots of people accuse the Spanish Police of basically trying to silence them now Jordi Sanchez and you already cuisinart allegedly tried to stop police from dispersing protesters at a rally in late september a video of the incident though seems to show that the man never got in the way of the officers and actually tried to help calm people down thats what their supporters are saying now theyre formally accused of sedition thats an offense that can lead up to ten years in jail and both there be. Held in pre trial detention now a report from Amnesty International has called for these charges to be dropped they say theres no proof that the men did anything wrong amnesty says the prosecution of Jordy Sanchez and jordi qui short for a serious crime such as sedition and their detention on remand constitute excessive restrictions on their rights to freedom of expression and Peaceful Assembly now catalonia as president president karlas says Civil Society leaders are being jailed for organizing Peaceful Demonstrations he tweeted that sadly we have Political Prisoners again now you may have already seen this next video it went viral called help catalonia its asking for the e. U. To intervene to end spains political crisis. We are european citizens just like you and we need your help to defend democracy. Dont look away whats happening here in catalonia its not a spanish internal affair it concerns to each and every european citizen share these videos with your friends. And representatives now before its too late. To save europe. But now this video was created by independent opponents who are calling out what they say are lies coming from the other side basically because we are european citizens and we believe in European ValuesFreedom Democracy and human rights we stood for social rights Public Health equality for we. Now the Spanish Government does end up stripping catalonia of its autonomy as power spaniards and catalans alike fear that there will be more violence here is what some members of the Central Government have said on. The wisest solution will be illegal approved guaranteed referendum we want to fight the depends project but not with strength with votes with the strength of votes. I want to call for unity unity between all political factions and that citizens and the socialist party continue to collaborate like they already are to solve one of the biggest problems spain has ever had. If youre in spain we would love to hear from you you can get in touch with me directly. On twitter or simply use the hash tag. Andrew thank you very much for that and as madrid and catalonia engage in a political fight over the future of castro and yet we here at aljazeera wanted to hear from the people of the region craig newton spoke to alderney catalogs about the events of the last month and what their hopes offer the future read about their views on this push for independence very interesting article you can find it on aljazeera dot com. Now on to the gold diplomatic crisis now in his fourth month and will be among the Top Priorities for u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson as he heads off twenty five nation trip on friday over the following week hell visit songe arabia qatar pakistan india and switzerland it will be the second time to listen has been in the region since bahrain egypt and the u. A. E. Impose a land air and sea embargo on qatar accusing it of supporting terrorism allegations that denies lets go straight to our White House Correspondent kimberly hulk it was in washington d. C. Committee this announcement for this new visit came less than an hour ago what should we read into this how significant is it that to listen is coming back to the region for a second time. I think its tremendously significant there is indeed a recognition here in washington that this crisis needs to be resolved there is a recognition that erupted after the president s visit to riyadh that riyadh summit and certainly looking at the statements that have been coming out of the trumpet ministration in recent months since then and particularly in recent weeks there is a notable measured tone in all of these statements and the seems to sort of indicate that well we initially saw over the summer the president singling out qatar in a tweet that there has been a dialing back of that language and a recognition even an investment by the president to try and see this resolved of course we saw the president hosting the emir of kuwait who is actively involved in mediating but now we see the secretary of state visiting the white house today this afternoon here in washington in advance of this weeklong trip which as you point out will have those two very notable stops one in riyadh the other and as there is this effort to meet with top leaders to try and resolve this so certainly i think what we can read from this folly is a significant recognition that there is a u. S. Role to play in trying to resolve this thank you very much for that live for us in washington d. C. And a very interesting opinion piece by our jamal child on the g. C. C. Crisis thats been published just today on aljazeera dot com and he asks whether this crisis will be resolved at camp david looking at the u. S. Role in trying to find a solution to this crisis a very interesting perspective read it on aljazeera dot com.

Propecia waited we believe because those cars were humvees now the minister of defense was asked about that how they how they not only that attack but the ones from the ones earlier this week and guard is that you mentioned though the worst attack this week that killed more than sixty people thats that also used humvees and a Police Vehicle captured from Afghan Security forces and thats a continuing problem here right and how to protect how to prevent these kind of attacks from happening right before we continue i want to give our viewers a better idea of where the taliban are in afghanistan take a look at this map on al jazeera dot com the areas in gray are the areas under the control of the Afghan Government and that includes the capital kabul of course and herat in block you have the areas under taliban control that includes can do is in the north and in this big area in the south here and then there are also the disputed areas seen in red so jennifer what we see on this map that the taliban still are in control of a lot of territory why are we seeing this upsurge in violence by the group and why are Afghan Forces struggling to fight them. We know the afghan controller contest almost forty percent of the country now some of it is done in attacks like the attack checkpoints along along major roads and make those roads impassable or simply harass travelers along those roads weve seen the taliban increasingly take control of territory over the last two and a half years or so of course after nato drew the withdrew the bulk of its forces from afghanistan and Afghan Security forces struggling in the fight against them this year weve seen an uptick as well in the fighting against Afghan Security forces they are working very hard in taking terrible terrible casualties an average of about twenty soldiers and Police Forces a day being killed in fights against the taliban but the taliban have been able to infiltrate if you remember could do so before the taleban fill in two thousand and one was one of their last strongholds and they harassed could use for quite a while before they were able to move into could use two years ago in september in the for the first actual capital provincial capital they were allowed to be able to take it all of the previous if previously theyve only been really holding rural areas and small villages but theyve become more bold in the last year or so getting more getting closer to bigger areas with with more higher population levels and of course much more aggressive more recently attacking Afghan Military bases jennifer grass in kabul thank you very much for about jennifer will of ghana stand managed to find peace watch this excellent interview mehdi hasan did on outfront with the former afghan spy chief.

J. News great on twitter at a. J. English. A. J. News grid you can also call us the number on your screen right now to know whats up call its nine seven four five zero one trip or one forty nine not to the u. S. Send police in the state of florida bracing for protests and violence as of our white supremacists. Richard spencer prepares to speak at a university there the governor has even declared a state of emergency and frances first visit to a College Campus and other organizes organize a rally in Charlottesville Virginia about two months ago there was violence at the time one person a woman was killed lets bring in Andy Gallagher was at the site where protests are expected to be held in Gainesville Florida and a first for our International Audience tell us spencer is and why his appearance is so significant and controversial. Well Richard Spencer would like us to call him the socalled leader of the alternative right someone who is involved in identity politics but the truth is much harsher Richard Spencer is a white supremacist hes the president of the National Policy institute a group that has been branded as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center is someone who first came to the National Stage following president victory when he gave a speech in d. C. And he was saying heil victory trump and some of his supporters were throwing up nazi salute he is also someone who led those demonstrations as you were saying in charlottesville a couple of months ago that led to scenes which really shocked the entire United States divided this already divided nation and led to of course the death of one of those protesters right it is significant that he is here today because it is his first public appearance since charlottesville and i can tell you here its fairly tense in the city of gainesville but one key thing to remember is the university of florida did not invite Richard Spencer to this event its a Public University and because of freedom of speech laws they cannot prevent him from appearing he booked a venue behind us here for about ten thousand dollars and already hes got a victory in some ways because the attention here is enormous strain he spent a little amount of money the National Stage the worlds press is already wants. And hes already said look the state of emergency is fairly flattering to me in comparing himself to a zombie a cop. Whats the security like when in gainesville i had of this speech because there was violence as we said in china as well as a lot of security whats the atmosphere like right now. This is pretty unprecedented probably i have to say this is a post charlottesville world i havent seen this kind of security even when theres a president ial visit on the Police Helicopters hovering around as there are barriers all over the place there a place lighting all the streets a lot of the streets are actually blocked now what they want to do here is put protesters both for and against in this contained area behind us but then taking no chances here not part of the reason why theres been a state of emergency declared for this county they dont want to see scenes that we saw in charlottesville happening here and i have to say with this kind of security i cant see things getting out of hand but there is a tension here in this city a city that really largely wants to ignore spencers presence a lot of the students here are have gone away for the day some of going to disney world others have gone to the beach thats a deliberate move by students here to ignore Richard Spencer to not give this hate speech fuel person a platform for a century thats failed because the worlds press is here the security operation is going to cost the city of gainesville about half a Million Dollars and once again it raises that whole issue of freedom of speech and just how far it goes and on that an interesting question from one of our viewers and he is Richard Spencer dreams of an all white land he quotes nazi propaganda why is he being provided a public platform at a Public University why is the media covering this. Its a great question and the question weve been asking ourselves the first part of the question is this is a Public University they cannot stop anyone from coming here and saying what they want thats essentially what the First Amendment is all about all the universities have tried to stop spencer from speaking and in the end of the day its cost them in legal fees some of them of even paid spencer themselves out of their own pocket because they tried to block him from speaking at a place like this so thats the first part the second part is its important i think for the media to cover what Richard Spencer has to say because it raises the question of Race Relations in this country it raises the question of where this country is headed because he does have his supporters we saw that in charlottesville so the best we can hope out of a situation like this is it gets a conversation going about Race Relations in this country about the direction of this country not about where people like Richard Spencer belong because the majority of people in gainesville and i think the majority of people in this country dont want to hear this man speak they dont want to hear his hate filled rhetoric they simply want to ignore him but he has become an important figure in the socalled right movement so essentially i think we have to cover that event in hopes of raising questions that make this a better country and egalitarian game telephone i thank you very much and im sure well be talking to you throughout the day today on al jazeera and andrew is back now with another story thats gaining traction in the americas. Controversial law that bans the use of face veils has been approved in the canadian province of quebec according to a bill approved on wednesday by the provincial Parliament Anyone wearing a face veil face veil rather will not be allowed to access any Government Service and that includes even getting on a bus Public Workers are also banned from wearing them that includes teachers Doctors Police and so on and although the law doesnt mention any religious group in particular critics say its hard its muslim women. We cant have the state tell people what to wear what not to wear and not. Particularly when its applied in the way that will disparate disproportionate impact some people other than others thats me reflects a law that is discriminatory and that. It breaks the fundamental principle of human rights the National Council of canadian muslims said the government is pandering to bigoted populism and rather than facilitating inclusion this legislation excludes citizens from the public sphere it reinforces the marginalization of canadian muslims and it risks and boldin ing those seeking to sow divisions and hatred between canadians to amplify an us versus them narrative now the Canadian Council of muslim women told Aljazeera Muslim women and kid back are feeling targeted and the message the government is sending is to the to these women is basically stay home and dont come out on line many people have Different Things to say about this mona here says its a sad time when liberty and freedom is taken by our government because of ignorance and evil doing well heather here asks what about winter where will that be banned as well but others are saying look western women have to adapt to appropriate clothing in some middle eastern country so whats the difference finally vincy or vinci excuse me commented on our Facebook Post and said if government can legislate under dressing or public nudity they can legislate over dressing now this law comes into effect next summer but wed like to hear from you now if you can especially if youre watching us from canada or another place in the world thats and acted a similar law get in touch with us using the hash tag age in his grave. Thank you very much for that pressure is piling on young mars government from iran the world about the crisis and this chorus of criticism now includes americas chief diplomat u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson says he holds myanmars military response of all for violence as for six hundred thousand six hundred thousand or so range of muslims to flee over the border to bangladesh the un and several Rights Groups have been gathering evidence of crimes against humanity osama bin job it has all reports. Tens of thousands of ranger refugees are coming to bangladesh every day they see their homes are being burned and theyre being chased by buddhist mobs. They describe desperate conditions and having little to eat. I mean most military denies the allegations of abuse and insists its going after what it calls terrorists but the International Community doesnt believe the claims by the military we really hold the military leadership accountable for whats happening with the writing area whats most important to us is that the world cant just stand idly by and be witness. To the atrocities that are being reported in the area. That. There has been no letup in extrajudicial killings rights abuse rape and arson attacks the human rights chief told al jazeera that the International Community must intervene if perpetrators of the violence are not punished this is still ongoing notwithstanding the claim that the military operations have largely done this does not seem to be the case but that could be conducted with impunity i think must be put behind us and then if. Resistant. Security council should consider other measures of course to be applied nearly six hundred thousand people have had to leave their homes and because many dont have any official status and its very little prospect of return. Some. Of the sick. And we heard the International Response to the ongoing crisis lets not get a sense of whats happening on the ground. Spoke to refugees that they could to prolong temporary shelter outside the city of coxs bizarre in bangladesh. All this going to a residence in this temporary shelter crossed into bangladesh within the last two to three days now they were confined in a place called about ten to fifteen thousand going there for the last three days they were not allowed inside one of the start treaty because the burning of the border guard confined them there not to. Allow them in buying other star trees designate a certain places for this nearly. Take shelter and we spoke to some of the injured as it is right there tells of atrocities similar to what other residents who came in recent days told us. That burning our homes and we cant do any business or work there anymore the Security Forces are driven assad survived. Told us go to bangladesh youre not from hand. This corroborates with the Amnesty International latest report about it find me on my arm a systematic approach of driving the most women out from myanmar into burning of the us this plight all the International Pressure and diplomatic pressure on another.

Also today while mr about he the iraqi Prime Minister has received information that some armed men whose affiliations unknown have attacked some civilians of course the Prime Minister does not accept such violations we also emphasize our commitment to the orders of the Prime Minister to protect the safety and security of all citizens in the governorates without exception the interior ministry will take all measures to stop those who commit such violations but as Stephanie Decker reports from a bill the capital of the kurdish region people are still worried about violations by shia militia fighters.

Israel is temporary expanding the waters off gaza where palestinian fishermen can cast their nets the zone will grow by about six kilometers for two months but fishermen say it will do little to improve their tiny incomes theres been a smith spent a choppy night out on the Mediterranean Sea with the fishermen. Its sardine season in the waters off the coast of gaza but along with high winds and heavy seas the fishermen here have one extra challenge that no other Fishing Community in the mediterranean faces they risk being shot if they stray outside a narrow zone imposed by the israeli navy. I never said to somebody ive been fishing since one thousand nine hundred seventy i used to enjoy it we used to make good money and now i dont enjoy it as you see were sweating all night for nothing.
