The robots i dont have a heart or a brain but it does have a saudi citizenship i dont have a home its looking at how high tech studs i saw secretary on life and in your forties the hash tag is good. Youre the newsgroup thanks for joining us were live on air were streaming online through you tube Facebook Live and at aljazeera dot com all those stories and much more coming up but first we begin with breaking news from the so mali capital mogadishu where were hearing there have been two car bomb attacks and the gunfight is now happening these are some of the pictures on the video emerging on twitter as well as other social media as you can see theres a tall cloud of smoke emerging from buildings the major mohammed for saying hes a Police Officer hes told the Reuters News Agency that it happened near the National Theater mohammad the dough is in neighboring kenya joining us now so were hearing how mud not one car bomb but potentially a second has just gone off yesterday and we can conform to some of the ten years car bomb attacks in mogadishu one of them up and at the busy intersection in the center of the city near the tomb of the unknown soldier another couple mixed promoted just outside the not too hotel which is just into the National Theater us through and through away from the president ial palace and the someone is director of National Intelligence who i spoke to just moments ago confirmed to me that three heavily armed. Fighters have gained entry into the hotel are currently engaging the Hotel Security and police in a gunfight. Worrying developments out of somalia because if we put this into context mohamed its a city on edge after several recent attacks and one earlier this month which was the biggest in fact in its history. Indeed it is two weeks exactly two weeks is that mustve bombing at another busy intersection in the middle of mogadishu many firmly is still mourning for the dead more than three hundred fifty people dead in that attack more than four hundred injured and so you fall will fall a lot of talk which of course really. Get the people of mogadishu against the group with another reason us a talk of the salt but it just shows that alshabaab intention is to keep the pressure on somalias weak security operators and show them how they are the up behind of this moment and just stand by for a second mohamed i believe were just about to show some pictures coming through to us right now on aljazeera this is from the Associated Press news agency so these are pictures from just outside the hotel where that first car bomb took place just a short time ago how my dear friend you are saying earlier that the your source that you had spoken to had said that there were al shabaab fighters that were spotted i believe you said outside the hotel or potentially inside the hotel but yet there has been no claim of responsibility from al shabaab. While they always do it and almost of that and of such an attack but then you know of a group of these kind of hogs in mogadishu its definitely them on the director of National Intelligence believes that its actually the fighters who are carrying out these attacks ok mohamed odeh well leave it there we thank you for that developing story coming to us from so well keep an eye out on developments there and bring you all the latest alliance here at aljazeera now carlos peter. May not be catalonia as leader anymore but you wouldnt know it from the staged appearance he made just a couple of hours ago so in a statement aired on local television here urged catalans to peacefully oppose spains takeover of their region as he promised to keep working towards a free country he and his cabinet and catalonia Senior Police of all been removed as madrid uses extraordinary powers to stop the region breaking away it would this go on and game and that citizens you all understand the period which it just started is one that we must continue defending with stability and peaceful commitment your actions are the reflection of a mature country that knows that the reaction it wishes to follow we have to continue we have to persevere with that attitude that will help us succeed without violence and without insult of being inclusive respecting people symbols and opinions and the protests of those catalogs that disagree with what the majority in parliament have decided. So while the spoken words alone are the voice of spanish unity was out in force on the streets of madrid thousands of people joined a protest they organized by right Wing Party Vox which advocates for a centralised spanish states lets take you back to barcelona bring in anderson mens joining us from there for a start off with carla spear jim on so hes been sacked andrew yet he came out and he made the statement now the question is what happens to him theres a talk that he may be jailed. There is talk that he could be charged with a charge called rebellion and that is actually going to be in the civil courts so lawyers say im not is a decision by the prosecutor general i will be made on monday now no one is sure what happens in the meantime in fact no ones sure who if anybody at all is running the loony or right now im standing here in some ways square which is right beside the seat of government and ill give you a little look around now and pretty surreal atmosphere where its like any saturday with some taurus Walking Around taking a look at the fantastic architecture over here a few people engaging in ice creams that you wouldnt think there was a whiff of rebellion in the air whatsoever its its very bizarre and there is obviously a serious aspect to this in the sense that no one really knows whats going to happen next and im going to take you now to look at the palace of the general its hat now this is where. The mall should be right now in a crisis but no hes at home in jerome hes obviously engaged in a lot of talking with ministers who are also taking the weekend off so to speak and when i say that i dont mean taking it off or relaxing because theres nothing relaxing about the situation in catalonia right now its very tense indeed weve already heard from the Spanish Government a rule whole raft of sackings including the Police Commander and his chief officer and also the man above those offices a director who was effectively a political appointment theyre all gone and were now waiting to hear exactly how this Regional Police force known as new source in fact this is an officer there on guard here at the palace. Right now who is going to be in charge of his office if you go along to the left again youll see some more of those police now all of these police are in a state of flux is a power vacuum and theres also a complete confusion about who takes the orders from whom it would seem but theyve all been circulated with a memo saying that they must be neutral and professional about what they do will they be used to control any disorder demonstrations the answer is probably yes according to our source who actually predicted this independence move to be taking place on friday afternoon he said that. Would be used because it was seen as the most user friendly helpful means of dealing with any unrest because of the hatred towards the Spanish Police and the civil guard moving on from there as far as the political debate goes. The whole rollout of further announcements politically will happen in the coming days is a slow motion to all of this its not a rolling ball with things happening all the time it is slow moving and i think thats definitely a tactic of Mariano Rajoy thats been deployed so far in article one five five being imposed and direct rule descending on this place it seems the weekend in between is being used as a sort of cooling off period from the momentous events here on friday this this square was packed jammed full with tens of thousands of people all the streets around it were packed as well we were looking down from above on a balcony the atmosphere was extraordinary for a whole four hours a people were chanting wanting to speak to the president on a big stage just here but he was inside the building talking to his ministers working out tactics but not actually engaging with the people he is in a situation right now of great pressure and difficulty hes effectively use parliament to declare a secession but in terms of his own future entirely unclear what will happen will he be taken away in handcuffs will he be in exile somewhere or will he try and cities out here in the square these are all questions that remain unanswered and also the government has made calls to the public to support the government could there be occupations of public buildings could you see some sort of sitting here the palace unclear unclear right the way round the wicket totally confusing in many ways from both sides all right well youll keep us across all the developments for the time being andrew thank you. Well lets bring in mohamed because the seems to be turning online rahula how so very interesting actually now after weeks of procapital anea sentiment dominating the online conversation as weve seen in the past well suddenly saying now an increase in perl unity talk and this is even in barcelona now george is there and he says that theyre beating people carrying spanish flags right now and all people talking about this and theres also this picture being said a lot right now by pro unionists who compared catalonia independence push to going off a cliff especially given the fact that its not getting much support from e. U. Leaders now the European Council president doll tusk tweeted for the e. U. Nothing changes spain remains our only interlocutor now that means a person who takes part in a conversation now guy starts who is the president of the alliance of liberals and democrats for europe calls this a fake independence adding that he doesnt recognize it and the council of europe secretary general says that the unity of spain must be protected but scroll down as you can see just below his comments gordon responds pointing out that in a letter youll see spaniards protecting the unity you are supporting and to explain this a letter or time means higher. And its basically a term common in the use for supporters of the cats Land Movement and for example this cup i want to show you which is getting a lot of traction people carrying spanish flags attacking the cat saloon Radio Station presumably because its part of catalonia is Public Broadcasting Service people sharing this video are describing the protesters as fascists and heres another video of a pro unity protester punching an independent supporter outside a bar in boss alone now. Now its been retreated thousands of times but on the other side of the spectrum theres the side people are talking about a silent majority showing just how many people in boston support the government in madrid and want to remain part of spain and it just highlights the divisions in boston right now but we have to remember that the most recent polls in september did say that only forty percent of cats lions wanted to secede and these are just pictures that show the region citizens and still not wanting to be completely on board with the decision to declare independence weve got to get your thoughts on all of these latest developments in catalonia connect with us using the hash tag a.

Very very unlikely daryn and right now im at a place called me gori one of the four counties where the election was suspended and this is an area that so some of the west some of the most violent confrontations between police and protesters who had blocked this highway saying that they will not allow any ballot materials getting gets to the polling stations and you know weve just come from another county that also witnessed running battles between police and protesters as well.

System millicent blames the police but she and many other supporters of hope that while he may not have participated in the poll he may yet help to change the way elections are held in the future so heres the thing catherine does a poor turnout prove that rollo then does call for a boycott has worked and what more can you tell us about his socalled resistance movement. Daryn it really depends on who you talk to right supporters will tell you that this has been a huge success millions of people did not go to vote and this means according to them that they do not and those who are looking for but supporters of kenyatta a will say that this is simplistic theres many other reasons why people might not have gone to vote were talking about the just the atmosphere of intimidation and uncertainty leading up to the election perhaps made people fear for their talking about the weather on that day there was very bad weather it rained heavily in some parts of that could have pushed could have put to put people away and theyre also talking about the facts that. You talk about other countries where you have that have registered a low voter turnout in repeated elections and to your question about the National Resistance movement. This is still very unclear a lot of people are still trying to understand what it means what their objectives are but a right guy has said that this is not an armed move its not an armed resistance its going to use a legal means to put pressure on the government hes talking about boy courting a certain products and services or certain individuals to pressure the government he also mentioned. Civil disobedience hes also say that the National Resistance movement does not replace the Opposition Coalition that he heads he says in fact its just going to be a winning within the Opposition Coalition daryn ok catherine sort thank you we have an interesting opinion piece on aljazeera dot com and its one of the most read articles on kenya so the author argues that the low turnout in the Election Rerun which hovers around forty percent compared to seventy nine percent in august was a referendum on the credibility of the rerun in which the entire country said no thanks or you can read her analysis on aljazeera dot com by selecting the opinion tab and youll find that very article right there.
