and a symbol of central government by one time we shouldn't carry on something that goes against the morals of got along the sides it is that the catalan nationalist perspective the only the present banished culture in catalonia has lost full fight this time on al-jazeera wild. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera international bringing the news and current affairs that matter to you. al-jazeera. the united states suspends visa services at its cultural its in istanbul escalating diplomatic tensions with turkey.

out of there are already watching al jazeera live from london also coming up. the unity from the so-called silent majority hundreds of thousands of demonstrators . to stay part of space. the campaign to drive al qaeda linked fighters from its lead in syria they promise to fight to the death. of revolutionary remembered commemorations marking fifty years since the death. and the u.s. has suspended all normal immigrant visa services at its diplomatic facilities in turkey it means turks won't be given visas to visit the united states unless they

are planning to move there let's take you straight away to washington d.c. and speak talk or spot on that so tom explain what is behind this decision. the embassy says that the reason for this is security reasons but it's plainly linked to their previous condemnation of the arrest of a local employee at the u.s. consulate in istanbul who has been accused by the turkish authorities of plot a conspiracy or participating in a conspiracy to overthrow the turkish government more than a year ago led by allegedly by self exiled turkish pastor of a tuna glenn lives in the united states and the embassy at that at the time the american embassy said that there are only without merits those charges that he was linked to a terrorist plot but nevertheless it's clear that this is just one more ratcheting

up of the of the war of words between the united states and turkey the turks have had no success in getting the drug administration to approve an extradition of good men and since the start of the or actually is for more than a year the turks have imprisoned more than a dozen american or turkish american citizens living in turkey one of whom was a christian pastor in izmir who vice president pence personally tried to intervene on his behalf so you can see that this is just more than just the accusations against just one man in in the embassy in or rather in the consulate in istanbul well remarkable. d.c. told thanks very much that speaks to us i think correspondent jim she joins us live from doha has there been any reaction yet from the turkish government to this

decision. well felicity for now in turkey there is no reaction from the turkish authorities act we know that the turkish foreign ministry is preparing a press statement that is going to be delivered to depress members very soon but. we haven't heard any word from them we haven't heard any of the ministers or government officials commenting about this issue but as thomas says said this is not only about this. american embassy employees arrest there is also this american. pastor who was arrested by turkey also two days ago american ambassador to the u.s. ambassador in ankara i had gathered with turkish journalists and he said that turkey was using those people who have been arrested as hostages to gain leverage in terms of diplomatic negotiation with the united states but i have to remind that

recently turkey had some contacts with iran about this kurdish referendum curtis's session decision there is military cooperation between those two countries also just a couple of days ago when is the last mughal with that turkey and he said interesting details so probably it will not be all about those people who have been arrested but also some other diplomatic rose. that turkey has been in touch or it's a developing story that we will continue to cover in the coming hours in the hall thank you. now the self-styled silent majority found their voice in barcelona calling on catalonia to stay out of spain hundreds of thousands of people travel from across the country to make that call for unity exactly

a week off the caseloads have voted to break away the decision has punched spain into a political crisis and join a whole reports both sides are hardening their positions. i have barcelona has seen plenty of huge demonstrations but not like this one see red line yellow the comments in yellow lines along the side the spanish national flag. ripped out calls for defendants this is a highly unusual show of national unity. some have come from other parts of spain but most are from catalonia itself tony roll down is a compliment politician opposed to independence we have made the best video of the prosperity and peace from the last forty years who simply because he was finished was over we have managed to build a framework that works for everyone i think the future belongs to you know i just think that we need to know this better trans national framework to govern ourselves

in the world the foundation doesn't make sense today but they call themselves the silent majority was their son are representative of the right choices have not been well silent no one story was i was was there was one moment described an atmosphere of hostility towards those who disagree with the push for independence days ago i was in my spanish and that is what i. was that there was i think. right to bite the hand of. my. heart yes. and given the opportunity to speak out many embraced it eagerly tired of being the majority and the people to say that we are not we are the majority because the union has a force and commodities common sense independent schools in this region with its

distinct culture and language a centuries old but the stakes of never been higher in the dritte prime minister mariano rajoy warns he may use special powers to revoke catalonia. the regional government meanwhile is considering a unilateral declaration of independence in the week to come but who will follow them not these people who seem to have found their voices jonah how al-jazeera barcelona. speak to song a guy a ghost a song or a bit of a stalemate at the moment what is coming up this week. well the heads of the presidents of cattle loom years dressed to parliament on tuesday evening there are still. ongoing. demonstrations from the pro referendum pro independent person session side happening on monday evening

as well in a sense to keep the momentum going but it is as the clock is ticking towards that time as journey quite simply mentioned in his report the fact that it is the both camps are toughening their stance on this it has become ratcheted up to such a level where there is really an incredible amount of tension between that and speaking to people here it is an issue which has really caused a lot of tension a lot of stress between friends families quite a divisive one at that but in the meantime this is just been happening also politically as well the spanish prime minister might be another whole even talking about invoking article one five five which would be which would mean and it's never taken place before but using emergency control powers over the region of catalonia that is something that would really be an unprecedented and something that would really push the government into a corner and force to act in

a way they say so they can uphold their end of the bargain and be answerable to those citizens who have been campaigning not just for the session but also for the right to have a referendum at all felicity. obviously all the people out on the streets today. they're calling for a dialogue but what are the chances of a negotiated solution. it's looking less likely in terms of how hardline the issue has become but in between both of these camps you do have a number of people number of citizens here who are who feel very much let down by either camp by the madrid government and let down by the government of of kashmir they're the ones who've been asking for there to be a dialogue for the european union has also requested that take place there also

where we've heard reports of back channels with certain figures high ranking figures from the roman catholic church as well reaching out and lending a hand in the offer to mediate with this as well but this is something that really happen they say has to be done through dialogue because the alternative would be practically a disaster if that were to happen not just for catalonia but also for the government of spain this hasn't been this we haven't seen a constitutional crisis like this in the country since the nineteen eighty one attempted coup d'etat and that ended as it did peacefully but this is really taking it up to the brink now felicity with those developments there in boston and thank you ana lives led by former al qaeda linked fighters is promising a fierce battle against those who enter its territory in syria is it live province released a statement after the free syrian army or f.s.a. crossed into the area from turkey on saturday they're being backed by turkish

felt because he had more education on us you had great obligations to set the example you always lead by example he never cutter's up a break so that he could demand the best from us. today to give out his image has become immortalized especially in cuba some would probably say tool much has become the ultimate revolutionary. i car and i must have for all the tourists that come to this island his face is absolutely everywhere from these bags to t. shirts as you can see to knapsacks everything you can possibly imagine the kind of image that you give out a himself would probably not have approved of. but he would surely have been proud to know that for the last fifty years cuban schoolchildren have been taught to follow his example every morning and every day they recite this chant. it means pioneers for communism we shall be like chair but do the new generations
