arrived in february and camped outside the fence for two months before they allowed us to come in. many others here also told us they camped outside for a month before they were allowed to come in and register. the un and the government who run the cams say the nearby long term refugee settlements are now full and the transit comes filled up because of a new influx of refugees fleeing violence in the run the earlier this year the camp is within the town of movie era which is close to burundi the borders just a couple of hundred meters down this road and this is where most of the refugees came from just over a week ago a congo lee's militia came down from these hills and attacked the town they fought with the army and at that point all of the refugees who were camped outside were allowed in but the insecurity has caused many more problems since the government troops seem to be in control of the towns and now they fought off the attackers

with help from u.n. peacekeepers but humanitarian workers pulled out and food supplies were cut off. and the people in the camp went from eating to meals a day to just one they say the corn flour paste tastes terrible and gives the children diarrhea and everyone says they're hungry the u.n. says it's in the process of opening a new long term settlement since the first one called lucinda became full we had really funding issues big funding issues but even without you know the little one we're getting we are now developing a new camp and that is the reason why actually listen the camp is overcrowded and the transit center is supposed to be transit facilities have now become actually camps most of these refugees fled to tanzania and some to rwanda those that came here to congo say it was the closest border they could reach. and they're the least fortunate struggling to survive in a country that suffers from poverty and conflict as much as their own malcolm webb

voters that came from the government's official representative in get along or else would have been his police chief has walked free from court after attending a hearing in madrid's capital spain's capital which is madrid yourself luis preparer was accused of sedition along with three other suspects he's being blamed for failing to protect spanish national police from protesters before the secession vote on sunday in a moment we're live with col pinhole in barcelona first his report on today's events. weeks ago he was hailed a hero now catalonia as police chief is the villain appearing in court in madrid major just up the apparel commander of the regional muscles disquieted a force was lauded for his swift response to the attacks in barcelona an organist in madrid prosecutors accused him of sedition or for inciting a rebellion by failing to quash support for cattle and secession the process asian leaders of two of catalonia civic and grassroots organizations face the same charge

prosecutors say the leaders revved up crowds around cattle and government offices on september the twentieth and the human blockade hampered raids by national and civil guard police under orders from government leaders in madrid. so you know is that i invoke the right not to make a statement because i don't recognize this court's competence in relation to the crime we are accused of sedition because we are convinced we have not committed any kind of crime. i believe that on the twentieth of september there was a peaceful civic mobilization and there was never at any point any intention by the demonstrators to do what the prosecution claims and the political crisis is damaging the economy in catalonia banks biotech companies utilities and even spain's largest sparkling wine maker are considering moving their corporate headquarters from catalonia to other parts of spain government ministers in madrid

announced on friday they passed a decree making it easier for corporations to relocate if catalonia breaks away it risks taking twenty percent of spain's economy with it. as the crisis lurches on the capital and parliament may reschedule a potentially historic meeting tuesday's debate could lead to a full blown declaration of independence and media reports suggest catholic church leaders or perhaps diplomats from switzerland could step in to mediate. now as the hours go by seems that there are more and more companies who are coming out and saying that they're considering moving their corporate headquarters out of the catalonia region to other parts of spain in power level with that or maybe because of that i start to sense a little bit of disarray among the process politicians they really don't seem to

know how to progress toward their declaration of independence there are calls by some to go ahead with the parliamentary session and do it on monday others suggest that perhaps choose day would be a better day and some amongst the procession paula politicians may even now be suggesting that perhaps catalonia is not yet ready for independence the momentum could be shifting back to the central government in madrid right now. all a live update from barcelona there on the aftermath of the catalonia referendum. sarra take me through this one online because i'm sure it doesn't die down and it hasn't for weeks actually been nonstop chatter online in spain for weeks and on the last day of the working week it's been no exception now the latest conversation is around this hash tag cattle exit e.s.p. sound familiar it's well it's a play on the words brags that us the pandects of course from britain from the e.u.

but now cattle exit speed is trending worldwide and that's because spain's central government is approved a decree to allow some companies to move their businesses out of the cuts in the near region now multinational companies to several of them like siemens and see it plus one of spain's largest banks kaisha are all planning on leaving catalonia however reactions to this move have been divided offline and online and this tweet here is just making fun of those wanting an independent catalunya says the independent paradise is no place for banks there's no banks no companies no it's only peasants while others have criticised the spanish government's eagerness to help companies leave catalonia this person just here wants to know why the government was quick to approve the decree but no one off. so order the banks to pay their debts off and here's another hash tag also trending for you just in the corner if you look there seven zero course it is october the seventh and it's a call to action for spanish this isn't

a rally in madrid on saturday now this poster which is just behind me hit this has been shared online by those opposing the catalonia independence from spain and it says defense of the nation the constitution and the state now this user going back to the person who tweeted that same poster as well so she's going to go because the spanish nation is made by all of us and son cooper tenders are not going to break us extort us or scare us now really strong words there but we'll be following the events and keeping you up to date on the ongoing story bites come up sorry thank you for that actually just as i look at the live well that's a picture of the catalan parliament actually we're just watching a news conference there as the politicians keep reminding people of what's going on because member they're talking about declaring independence maybe this weekend or by monday so yes a very keen eye on that story here's from the city bar in london how much of a city more international news from. i there come on we're going to start in the u.s. that's where the investigation to the las vegas massacre is continuing as police

try to find a motive behind the shooting that killed fifty nine people on sunday overnight thousands of mourners held a candlelight vigil for the victims a police on a guard with bagpipes paid tribute to a local officer who was among those killed well a gun show that we should chill for this weekend at a las vegas casino has been canceled the organizers saying it didn't seem prudent in light of the tragedy there are more guns than people in the united states it leads the world in per capita gun ownership and gun violence yet as a country it does not fund research into the issue of serious jacob or reports from california that's the state going its own way in gun research. a few facts are clear the u.s. leads the world in gun violence it has the most relaxed gun laws of any developed economy and americans own more guns than anyone else but there's almost no good data on gun violence in the us because the government does not fund gun research

here. since one thousand nine hundred ninety six congress has forbidden the centers for disease control which tracks all threats to human health from pursuing any research that might advocate for gun control essentially killing the study of gun violence but researchers have found new methods of measuring the effects of so many guns siddarth size part of a stanford research group that uses computing power to model the effect of so-called right to carry laws on the states that passed legislators have argued that carrying a weapon or to determine a crime but that is not what the math shows. a right to carry law is increased crime specifically there is pretty robust findings that violent crime would increase between thirteen fifteen percent every year tens of thousands of americans die of the flu and that's why the government here has spent billions studying the outbreaks and promoting safety in producing cheap vaccines but guns kill more

americans than that and yet the government does not effectively study the california state legislature just put aside five million dollars to establish a california firearm violence research center at u.c. davis to study the unique side effects of guns in america by frank zimring of u.c. berkeley says research about california could reveal truths about the nation so if you can get the answers in sacramento california you have answers that are probably going to apply for the rest of the country and the rest of the organized world perhaps it's the first step to truly understand the risks in a country that has more guns than people jake aboard al-jazeera berkeley california . a funeral with full military honors has been held in northern iraq for the veteran kurdish leader. who died three days ago crowds filled the streets of his home city of solomon here to pay tribute as

a convoy carried his body to the burial site taliban he was a champion of the kurdish independence struggle and served as president of iraq for nine years until twenty fourteen he died in a german hospital on tuesday at the age of eighty three. now the small pacific island of new a has created a massive marine sanctuary in its waters in an attempt to stop overfishing there the remote islands north of new zealand is only two hundred sixty square kilometers but the new protected marine's own is five hundred times that size roughly the area of greece the premier took it to log says it will stop the depletion of fish stocks and help preserve the oceanic environment for future generations. well that announcement by new way was made as an international conference on nations being hosted by the european union on the mediterranean island nation of baltar as well as overfishing one of the main issues being discussed at this two day meeting is water pollution the philippines is one of the world's worst offenders when it comes

to dumping waste in the sea from manila and don't get reports. every warning sign checks his fish pen has been a fisherman almost all of his life and has recently moved to manila fishing has always been difficult in the provinces but he says it's far more challenging in the capital. the third it is not so strong to be a fish ben has no garbage and like when the waters are high garbage is everywhere the stench is overwhelming hundreds of filipina fisherman depend on manila bay for their livelihood they admit it is not and they deal place for fishing manila bay is one of the most polluted areas in manila but they are left with no choice. greenpeace says cleanup activities in manila bay show that disposable plastics used just once are one of the leading causes of pollution it says the situation is

similar all across the country with giant companies and their costumers polluting oceans with their plastic waste in the philippines where the majority of people live below the poverty line families are pushed to buy cheap goods in small quantities the so-called sashay economy response to the needs of political consumers but it is also made the country the third biggest polluter oceans based on the greenpeace thirty china and indonesia ranked first and second we don't have the in our like an infrastructure to manage our waste we have a good law the logical solid waste management law but we feel that it's not implemented up properly in in all our levels of the government the government admits a national policy must be in place. this includes plastic. packaging with similar.

sunsets over manila bay are spectacular but the philippine capital is gaining an unwanted reputation for its wasted potential to melinda going on just here in manila. i'm not fit for me for the moment but. lovely thank you for that felicity got far ahead of talks but i'm reading one of your tweets from earlier far. into you know what happened can you imagine a world cup without lean on mass i shudder to think argentina football fans are contemplating the thinkable the team that reached the final of the last world cup in brazil may not be up the next one in russia argentina and leo messi journey with peru on the receipt they draw on their past three games scoring just one goal allowed to put them out of the qualifying positions for next year's tournament the top four from south america automatically go through physical play new zealand in a playoff argentina out while their six with just one game to go i just look at how south america lit up on twitter during and following that result not just there but

we're right through central america as well into southern california along with the u.k. and spain the word argentina was topping global trends fans trying to get their head around the idea of a world cup without leno messing i also want to show you this as well it's a trance map it tells you the main terms being tweeted across various parts of the world if you look across south america here almost every part of the continent talking about the world cup. now remember when leo messi said he was retiring from international football because he was cursed well he came back with the hope of delivering argentina a major trophy it's a huge weight to carry on anyone's shoulder even for one of the world's best footballers a lot of interesting things are being posted on twitter most people really sympathizing with messi here is going ash dev dig in india saying messi surrounded by a bunch of idiots still they expect messi to score or bleacher report tweeted this cartoon with messi dragging argentina to the world cup with the caption lino massi

can only do so much on his own and this next video brought a tear to my i posted by mixology it's messy after the game put to the soundtrack of the titanic check it out. her correspondent tres about who has been on the streets of the argentinian capital when osiris to give us a bit of an idea about how people there are feeling she sent this in from her mobile phone. argentinians will come to rest this friday after a goalless draw with maidenly for the first time i did teen years are seeing the possibility of not making it to the world cup that you knew missing so many of the

best in both a in the world and won't make it to russia twenty eight team if the players are under so much pressure that they haven't been able to make it go in the last or much of any hard to do that doesn't make it to the wall cup it would be the first time since nineteen seventy and this would be a catastrophe in the country many are hoping to turn things around on tuesday when argentina plays against it one or two on high altitude in the past to their disbelief the t. shirt has not done well playing in had to do that and of course they will have to mark a goal this is what some people here are going to science and saying argentina couldn't do it but still has a chance and this is another.
