Last strongholds. Catalonians deposed leader says he will appeal any attempt to extradite him from belgium. The strong hes committed hes smart. President onil tromping ordered recent precedent in picking the next Us Federal Reserve chief and im Peter Simmons with all the sports news of the day as patrice evra has been suspended after kicking a phone in the head during a Europa League match all of that story and more later in the program. I saw the armed group whose dramatic rise captured headlines in two thousand and fourteen is staring a defeat in its final strongholds in both iraq and syria. Syrian state television says the army and its ally forces have pushed out of the eastern city of doors or it was the groups last remaining syrian stronghold and the capital of an oil rich province border in iraq the military campaign to recapture doors or began in september when the army managed to break a three year long siege on the city and its residents and neighboring iraq the army and shia militia fighters have captured the last International Border under control the forces have also entered the town of our province on the western border with syria and the past year and a half isis control over land and resources in syria and iraq has been steadily declining but recently its been a very drastic fall so lets look at a map from june of this year i saw was still controlling vast swaths of territory marked in brown cities like rocka mosul indoors or were still under its control so fast forward to now its lost all these major cities including rocca the self declared capital of its socalled caliphate and now to resort in an Oil Rich Region which was crucial for the groups finances so were covering the story from iraq and syria Stephanie Decker is live in just a province in Northern Iraq first lets talk to our live in ghazi on tap on the turkey syria border so hot talk us through this how how do they all get to this point. Well basically the syrian army backed by a russian warplanes tottered a Major Military campaign breaking the defense lines of i sailed around the city and then they managed to move into the heart of the city now the syrian army was backed by different armed groups militia fighters and also hezbollah and iran that their contribution was very crucial to the military gains made by the Syrian Government by the russians definitely played a key role here because their. Through the last four months managed to undermine the defense lines of i saw hundreds of eyes of fighters were killed during the military operation now the syrian army controls. But in needs to move and move to secure the oil fields which are still under the control of sunni tribesmen affiliated with the Syrian Opposition or the as the f which is a coalition of code this and other factions and this is could this is something that could put this in i mean a collision for the course with the because the as the air in says it wants to maintain control of those Major Oil Fields so here tell us what is next for the syrian army in addition to what you just mentioned what is potentially next for them. Rochelle i mean if you look at the map you can tell that the syrian army now is determined to consolidate its gains in Eastern Syria now they lost iraq into a thousand and four. Twelve and two thousand and fourteen isis came and took over and took over so this is quite important for the syrian army to reverse the gains that were made by the opposition and by the rebel groups or i said and say i am back and again in the war against my rivals the next battle is definitely going to be over. Which is the gateway city on the border. With iraq it was. Because of a book about the manage to get supplies from iraq continue the. Recruits from all over the world to continue expanding in syria ok our live for us in gaza on to thank you its going to Stephanie Decker now who isnt a whole province so stephanie tell us more about what is happening and this this Border Crossing that has been retaken. Yes thats just on the other side of what you heard him speak about there becoming is the iraqi side while the official Border Crossing has been taken that was taken in the last couple of hours even the iraqi Prime Minister in a statement from his office congratulating the iraqi forces and the battle is now on for all calm which is the town on the border there really taking districts by the hour just goes to show how quickly this operation the final push is taking place the center of the town has also been been said taken back by iraqi forces its a large operation its been going on for the best part of most two weeks now Iraqi Federal Police Together with the sunni tribal fighters also the hash oil shabby there shia militia pushing ahead its significant because of course its the last border that i was in control of the group has always made a huge deal out of breaking down borders that propaganda video with bulldozers as they broke their way so to speak into iraq from syria in two thousand and fourteen and also because it is the last territory that the group holds here in iraq so it is significant and i think some people will tell you that perhaps in the next couple of hours it could be announced taken back well have to wait and see but certainly i think we will be hearing from the iraqi Prime Minister when that takes place will announce that the group is finally territorially out of iraq but certainly it still poses a threat so stephanie any indication of when we will get official word or is that just kind of not clear right now. I mean its speculation theres been a lot of talk with the fact that they do think that this is going to be quick if you look at other areas like the law fight even how we relatively speaking they managed to take those areas back in just a matter of days or week i think ill call im certainly just looking out today at stars in the early hours richelle and theyve been making very good headway so i you know im not on the ground not a military expert but it does seem to see certainly from the sources we spoke to that they dont think this is going to be a long battle but challenges remain here i think yes of course once. Territory is as deemed taken back fire off the forces it is significant but there are massive challenges here one its rebuilding richelle the areas left behind where the fighting has taken place some of them are absolutely flat and you have hundreds of thousands of people who remain in refugee. Internally displaced so here in the in the region the kurdish region of Northern Iraq and then you have reconciliation there are huge ethnic sectarian divides in this country that we can see just playing out now which is you know its a different topic but there are huge challenges here richelle so i think yes its of course a course to celebrate but not too much because there are very many things that need to be addressed Going Forward and so much unknown Stephanie Decker live for us and hope province thank you the lawyer for that oppose cal on president says his client will appeal any belgian approval of extradition to spain a spanish just deciding whether to issue an International Arrest warrant for carlos pushed on he missed a summons to a Spanish Court on thursday because hes in belgium seeking freedom and safety as he says the deposed leader and a sacked cabinet are being investigated for sedition following last months declaration of independence now eight of which demands former cabinet members have been jailed another being detained in madrid they attended thursdays high Court Meeting that pushed him on missed he says their detention is an attack on democracy. The Spanish Government decision to imprison the cabinet members of the legitimate government of cattle only is a very grave mistake it is a great attack on democracy imprisoning political leaders who have ample citizen support is an act that violates the basic principles of democracy. And the catalan capital barcelona so. We have entered ok there is andrea so enter there is that theres a lot of moving parts theres the potential for an International Arrest warrant there is people that have been in jail there are people that have been released theres a lot of things going on so get us up to speed. Rivaled basically whats happening now is that were waiting on that decision in madrid over a european arrest warrant that would be. Sent by electronically to brussels indeed sent by facsimile and that the arrest warrant would be checked over twenty four hours by the belgian prosecutors and they would then make a decision on in terms of actually arresting them on the pushable has told everyone via his lawyer that this was his concern he will cooperate with belgian or fortys he wont go racing off trying to get over the border to beat the prosecutors to actually do with him but there are a whole lot of possible moves that could take place once that that warrant is issued in terms of representation in the belgian belgian Justice System he could he could then make some appeals and so on and so forth but this is really a fast track extradition process that madrid wants to pursue now as far as the rest of the capital go there are harsh the that the sacked cabinet before the National Court in madrid and of course they are all subs. To jail until a further hearing for the further away that development has really caused ructions here in the in barcelona in particular. Ok Andrew Symonds live with the latest from barcelona thank you ive had a cup as a lawyer and head of the Brussels Office of the open europe group he says any attempts to extradite to depose Catalan Leader to spain quote take months. Well theyre being arrest warrant is a very technical procedure should basically doesnt it just merely have to check if indeed this arrest warrant bryce formerly they dont have to look into too much into the actual details of the case the assumption is that spain can be trusted no if spain with her or her requests this particular spanish citizen to be extradited on the basis of something that is not criminal in belgium and that is not on a joint list a joint even list of crimes that the recognized then judge could well refuse it but those are a lot of ifs the good thing for a belgian government is that this completely this is completely out of their hands this is in the hands of the belgian Justice System and indeed they will have to look at the questions what are the Justice System is sufficiently independent in spain what are this is all politically motivated or not the lawyer for tomorrow has said that the first stage at least takes one of the whole thing two months before we get the first judicial decision in belgium which then can be appeals and can go up to the highest courts in the country. And the whole focus sosie now author doubts. Bush dumont goods also apply for asylum which can drag out takes even longer something does very much worse playing out. But in my head of the news hour including the u. S. Secretary of state prepares to visit me and mark on his agenda talks in the hunter crisis and no verdict in hong kong where a jury debates the fate of the former chief executive donald sang and support a happy homecoming for houstons World Series Champions peter has all that in just a bit. With. President donald trump has named Jerome Powell as this pick to lead the Federal Reserve palace a multimillionaire who now serves on the Central Banks board and is one of five candidates interviewed for the role including current chair janet yellen his term finishes and february alan fischer reports its my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of powell. To be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve this is the man donald trump wants to steer Economic Policy in the u. S. If confirmed drone poll over the next chairman of the Federal Reserve a position many call the second most powerful job in the government inside the Federal Reserve we understand that Monetary Policy decisions matter for American Families and communities i strongly share that sense of mission and im committed to making decisions with objectivity based on the best Available Evidence in the long standing tradition of Monetary Policy independence the decision to replace janet yellen is not a surprise but it is a break with precedent the last three fed chairman more automatically be appointed even by president s of the opposite Political Party i think its very much a political decision and so very much a desire for president truong to say that he is replacing current fed chair janet yellen because she was appointed by obama and is essentially affiliated with the democratic policies not many people know the name of the new fed chair not many people will care there is a new fed chair but the position holds enormous power over pensions over savings and over job prospects across the United States the fed steers Economic Policy in the u. S. While it sets Interest Rates its job essentially is to maximize employment and stabilize prices janet yellen to control in twenty fourteen the u. S. Was through the wash to the financial crisis in a first year g. D. P. The best way to measure a countrys economy was a two point six percent unemployment was six Percent Inflation was point seven percent according to the latest figures g. D. P. Is up to three percent unemployment is down four point two percent and inflation is just half of one percent with a record like that many observers doubt there will be radical change with a new person in charge it seems in appointing power its going to continue. The federal continue in its route. Pursuing lower Interest Rates in the president seems ok with the beyond that he had expressed much interest in whats going on in the. Poll is a lawyer but he has said hes a fed governor for five years and is no saint for one of the biggest jobs in washington on Global Finance alan fischer washington thank you joe watkins is a republican political strategist is joining us live from philadelphia always good to talk to each of so. Recent president has been for the president s to generally reappoint the fed chair whos whos in the opposition when they come into office kind of regardless of the politics of it in particular there has been an economic recovery under janet yellen so having said that are you surprised by this really i mean of course janet yellen is four years were the second shortest tenure for a fed chair. That being said it wasnt because of what was happening under her tenure certainly. The rate of unemployment was headed in the right direction as well as Interest Rates and i dont think the president was at all displeased with her policy but i think he wanted to have the freedom to appoint his own person and so this is very much like donald trump he wants his own course in that position he wants to make his own mark while hes president and states have his own fed chair and so hes done that hes appointed a pal to this position and jay powell represents somebody who will likely not do much different from janet yellen so exactly and thats exactly that is exactly the point you expect there to be a lot of continuity between yellen and pell. I do i do expect to be a lot of continuity not a lot of surprises i think the market so far its showing that i expect a lot of surprises a lot of differences and a lot of policy shift their own expecting any of that but nonetheless they do know that jay powell represents somebody who is down trans person hes not an economist as we know although he served. On the fed board but hes a lawyer by trade but nonetheless hes got a great background and theres some by the donald trump is high confidence and. This is kind of an obvious question but perhaps not what talk about the impact the power that this particular person as you know when janet yellen will she still is not when she will as she still is the current fed chair making her probably one of the most powerful women in the u. S. An addition to you know the women that are you on the on the u. S. Supreme court so put in context just how much weight this position carries and how it has ripple effects around the world well i cant begin to underscore how powerful a position it is normally the people that are chairs of the fed a very understated people but what they say matters greatly and a word or two words can impact the market a huge way and of course there are ripple effects since we have a Global Economy so that what happens in the u. S. Affects economies all around the world so clearly what jay powell says everybody will be looking to see what jay powell says what kind of hints he gives in these speeches A
