dr i'm fine with i. determined to live life to the full. i have very limited sight five percent but i can distinguish objects big and small and realize their ambitions but also when i was hungry but also afraid because i'm married. i still love the look today. follows for inspiring people in istanbul as they seek to prove that seeing isn't everything at this time. this is al-jazeera.

hello i'm barbara sarah this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. celebrators referendum results show they overwhelmingly voted yes the seceding from iraq and this despite airlines and suspending flights to the region and other threats from iran and its neighbors chilling testimony from a hinge of muslims being myanmar as the u.n. warns of increasing reports of sexual violence and that drive down the money laundering lane the london bus tour that takes in properties bought by corrupt high profile nigerians. and far is small and all the day's sport including p.s.g. when a champions league showdown against foreign d.n.a. with the help of one of europe's hottest strikers.

the result is in ninety two percent of kurds voted yes in the controversial kurdish referendum on monday but there's still strong opposition to the poll the government in baghdad is calling on the kurdish leadership to relinquish control of airports in the region and several airlines have suspended flights to kurdish cities charles for food reports now from. celebrations on the streets of the bill up to two percent of voters said yes to secession from the kurdish region of northern iraq. the referendum is very important it will form our future and i hope at least that baghdad will support us eventually to be independent. with the federal government and it is called the referendum constitutional. and he's refusing to even recognize the result let alone start negotiations with the kurdish regional government ok elegy over future independence for iraq's. events of the last few days here can

only be described as some of the most momentous in these regions history but the political ramifications are massive the threats continue from the baghdad governments and neighboring countries and there's a sense here of great uncertainty as to what could happen next. the federal government has threatened to close the region's international airspace it could heal thora these don't hand over control of their two main airports by friday deadline. turkey is threatening to cut off the kayleigh g.'s oil pipeline and close the land border turkey is the biggest supplier of goods and food to the k r g we can not beat ourselves. we don't have that much power you come to our throats that a body is making of the same mr saddam regime and the kurds don't have a life if we start with make that. maybe determination among the people who wanted

a country of their own the generations but the celebrations here may not last long john strumpet al-jazeera the bill. well the top u.s. democrat has come out in support of an independent kurdish state senate democratic leader chuck schumer has issued a statement calling on the u.s. government to recognize what he called monday's historic vote and to back the creation of an independent kurdish state or belittle what hobby is an expert on the iraqi kurdish region at the washington institute and he grew up in arabic and he joins us live now from washington d.c. sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera i mean first of all seeing as you obviously have a link to the region having grown up there yourself when you see these scenes of celebration can you understand why ninety two percent of people there still voted yes in the referendum they're realizing very well that of course this is going to create intense tensions in the region. well thank you for having

me the answer is clear iraq is a country that has not been very good home to the kurds ever since the country was corrected. at the hands of psychs and mr saxon mr because of the end of the first world war. genocide poisonous gas by former regimes the hope of the kurds after two thousand and three of the toppling of the saddam regime that a constitution would be respected were kurdish rights were in shrine but the kurdish government has grown increasingly frustrated with baghdad for not respecting a constitution that would. that would guarantee kurdish rights over revenue. as well as land and this was the best next move that the coast could do having been emboldened by the cooperation in fighting isis by the kurdish peshmerga on one hand weakening the federal government on the other so they saw an opportunity and they

seized it and the referendum was the next best move obviously we're talking here specifically about the kurds in iraq but i guess the whole issue of a potential kurdistan and the credit card populations in the region is that there is minorities in a lot of neighboring countries so what do you think the impact is going to be long term of this for a friend i'm not just with baghdad necessarily but with other countries and we're seeing turkey already threatening to close off a pipeline. well the the crew some region of iraq is landlocked and for its economy it depends on a pipeline that exports oil to the international markets through turkey and therefore turkey holds tremendous leverage over kurdistan in the kurdish economy and indeed the turkish government and the president have been threatening to use that leverage against kurdistan and the fear is understandable because turkey is home to the largest kurdish group. iran is second

and the third largest creditor group in the world are only in iraq and here you have you know the smaller group compared to iran and turkey are heading toward independence and secession and this creates a a precedence that worries her and to her on it it may have the kind of domino effect that these capitals are afraid of their own population on one hand on the other. the presence of the referendum is also in itself as a process is dangerous even if the iraqi kurdistan will not become independent i mean you mentioned the storm no effect then of course that's one of the reasons why not just the countries involved but other countries i mean even the united nations the united states were against holding this referendum in the first place now it happened the result is as we explained what do you think the role of the u.s. will be now in all of this because obviously the last thing they or anybody else wants is to further destabilize the region so how do you think they'll play it.

let's not forget that this is a unilateral and non-binding kurdish move and was mainly targeted at baghdad to strengthen the kurdish hand in negotiations and exciting exciting more concessions from baghdad and more autonomy for kurdistan but the international backlash is understandable the middle eastern borders as. unnatural as they are have turned to be resilient the united states turkey iran and indeed the international community spoke in unison against the referendum albeit for a variety of different reasons the us oppositional mainly emerged from a that the referendum may distract from the war against isis and defeating isis is the main priority of u.s. engagement in the in the region and be weakening prime minister. who the united states sees as an ally in trying to. drive iraqi toward more independence from iran even if not more toward the united states so this referendum

would obviously we can about the and strengthen his allies but also it would in my career an air of tension in iraq a violent option of violence in iraq and that would obviously be detrimental to the much needed cooperation between the kurdish peshmerga and the iraqi security forces in defeating isis and case in point was liberation of mosul in the next few days will be key in seeing how all of these things will develop for the moment bill from the washington institute sir thank you indeed. speaking of our friend the catalonians leader says spain's crackdown on its independence referendum this sunday is boosting support for the vote this week judges and prosecutors ordered the seizure of all electoral material including millions of ballot papers fourteen officials organizing the referendum have also been arrested and websites linked to the vote have been shut down the spanish government is planning to deploy police at

polling stations to prevent people from voting. well many many challenges lie ahead for catalonia if its people do vote yes on sunday from the catalan town of les sena john hendren explains. millions of catalans hope to defy the odds and the government of spain by voting to create their own nation if they succeed within days they hope to declare their independence but it is after the vote that the real work begins is britain discovered with brags that catalans would have many questions left to answer will they form their own military will join nato what league with the barcelona football club play and. what currency will they use it has to seek international recognition as a state from the united nations secondly it needs to it should try to join the european union as

brazil is investigating the reported massacre of up to ten members of an isolated amazonian tribe it's believed the indigenous people were killed by gold miners who later boasted about the attack al-jazeera steam is the first to be given access to the area since it happened our latin america editor lucien human has part one of our exclusive two part special series from the jafari valley as you can see we're inside the amazon rain forest known as the lungs of the world because of its thick of education that helps counter c o two gas emissions but what is less known are the dangers facing the communities that live inside this jungle including those who have chosen to have no contact with the outside world they are facing new and very very serious threats to their survival and we have come here to find out why. the java the valley indigenous reserves. eight million hectares of brazilian amazon

the size of austria it's home to the largest number of non contacted tribes in the world photographed only rarely from the air and it's here that ten indigenous people were reportedly massacred last month by illegal gold miners who roamed these rivers we flew four thousand kilometers from sao paulo to menow sea to. and there by boat to. there we met leaders of the reserves indigenous tribes who agreed to take us there. this is the reserve along the giovanni river that borders per contacted in non-contact the tribes have lived here for centuries. on our seven hour journey up the river we learned that the reserve is being increasingly invaded by outsiders cattle farmers loggers hunters fisherman and miners the latest reported massacre on this reserve is said to have taken place when members of

a non-contact and tribe men women and children were looking for turtle eggs by the river the alleged killers are said to have boasted that they cut up their bodies and threw them in the river making it difficult if not impossible for prosecutors to find the evidence oh we go to meet the chief of the mio luna tribe which was contacted about fifty years ago around fifty five hundred people belong to the reserves six contacted tribes but it within a minute before speaking an intruder chief told me insists on putting on his ceremonial paint. he says his father used to kill the white invaders but was persuaded by four ny state indigenous authority to move the tribe into the reserve for protection maybe with. this. it is better but not good we have people dying from diseases we didn't have before i wish we could move back inside the forest where our ancestors lived the outsiders are sure killing people.
