i'll just. read everything your.
12:01 am
this is al jazeera. this is the news hour live from london coming up in the program half a million catalans rally in barcelona. denounces plans spain's plan to impose direct rule. with practically citing the future of a nation it's not a crime another attack in the afghan capital just twenty four hours after a suicide bombers targeted the shia mosque in kabul. check voters elect a party led by a euro skeptic businessman who's been charged with fraud. in sport manchester united's unbeaten start to the premier league season. losing to want to guess how does fail the first one i have united since one thousand nine hundred fifty eight.
12:02 am
so there are hundreds of thousands of people have been out on the streets of barcelona to support cattle answer session is the constitutional crisis comes to a head in a t.v. address just a short time ago the regional president said the people of catalonia could not accept what he said were illegal measures taken by central government spanish prime minister mariano rajoy announced plans to dismiss government subject to approval by the senate next week well madrid intends to impose direct role taking control of ministries the police and the cattle and t.v. channel for six months until new elections can be held. i don't need. the government has had to trigger article one five five of the constitution that was not our wish or intention it never was i think that most of spain society knows this article one five five is part of our constitution and it is only invoked in extremely extraordinary circumstances no government in any democratic country can
12:03 am
accept that the law is ignored or changed this is done by trying to impose a criteria on someone else well for his part said that was unacceptable. but. no spanish government can iraqis the catalan will that will that has enabled us to restore our institutions what we have we have earned it with the power of people and democracy the cats and people cannot accept this attack or these measures the spanish government is trying to own or life in catalonia and this is outside the rule of law well let's go live now to andrew symonds who's there for us in barcelona and you say the story unfolds. it certainly does quite a dramatic sequence of events with that declaration that triggered. five. description of events that are likely to take place by the end of next week
12:04 am
saturday certainly they're likely to be in place and so i'm less than something seismic happening in the interim that's the only possibility that they call him an heir likely to meet whether that decides upon triggering elections of its own accord or if it actually does decide to declare independence which has been suspended effectively by. since the referendum declared illegal by the spanish government. gave results yes for the first so what we have here now is the rolling out of a series of measures amongst them the police force the regional police force here. which is a key element here it's been supportive of the government it resisted the national police from spain in trying to get into the polling stations on october
12:05 am
the first now will be under control from madrid and there is no way that it can resist anymore that. could be areas of friction not only that there will be elections within six months if all of this goes and it's rubber stamped by friday so the clock is ticking what happens next it's likely to be here in barcelona that things are set whether or not there's any move in any direction on the backdrop to that as demonstrations demonstrations of the size we saw today south are they could they be of a similar scale could libya's peaceful or could there be more anger there are so many questions both sides have gone to the cliff edge and now they're staring at the abyss potentially without either thing happening let's bring in here daniel cruz he is a member of d.m.
12:06 am
twenty five which is a cross border pressure movement for promoting democracy now you started this. war sort of position would you say carlos. is in right now well i think i'm on the one way i need. to go to elections but after not just after that. first film called elections independence but he did one never. called the next one the one they never want they never allowed the. take to the speciation. role is accusing him of being provocative of wanting. to go one five five to be. imposed what do you say to that well actually they want. to calm.
12:07 am
the heights opinion but for us it's never a solution to the repression. people never. an option for us they say. once a five for example it's taking control of public television it's crazy for example they want to call the elections and to. the president of the parliament. to for example. one name for it to be president this is insane but one factor here is the fact that carlos pushed i'm always accusing rule of illegal acts and doing what he's doing and you look at exactly the same allegation coming from iowa to push him on who's right who's in the clear for both men culpable. both man ha they fault both about one thing it's clear he's
12:08 am
calling it's always saying something about to. break that really low and now he's doing that because they want a five article in the constitution it's not developing a new law so they're using it free card to do what they want on their law is one specific i love being in the constitution said that you have to go to the. you have to be for some days the stock implemented this and he's not doing that so the money is he really. good as some people claim and what he's doing he's very good to us fund you know tough questions so for example today he given a speech and he. not even pronounce the word independence and in. people think it was the. surprise that he didn't go strong on the home thing in even the criticism wasn't as strong as the president who described it as
12:09 am
a. i think he's alone i think. he in. support of the european institutions that he seeing that. it's disappointing because it's going it's over as they as they think they have to be in the middle of the two governments off a seat there and the start of a mistake to resign you know way to go away because they want more they hear the equation of independence it's not a solution and we need a referendum which i want to thank you for your insight very much indeed and so there we have it the clock is ticking on this whole crisis there's a week to run out if daniels writes we may have the parliament calling its own elections and that could be followed by their courage to independence it seems there's a long way to any solution to this crisis but to nick concert goes on all right andrew thanks very much and eight hundred seems there in buffalo. now there's been

12:11 am
that's like you said but. i saw fighters in afghanistan said they carried out the attack and shia mosque was about half full with three to four hundred worshippers the bomber were. prepares to begin before he launched his attack first throwing hand grenades over here a curtains off area where women and children were praying he then said himself off over here in the middle of worshipers killing him mom and dozens of others workers have already removed the charred carpet and abandon possessions they say it will take a month before their clean up is complete and the mosque reopens among the mourners or relatives of eight year old mustafa husseini the president is the father of this country and it's through this both ability of the father to bring peace in a country or in the family. the president to bring peace and to protect us from the afghan president ashraf ghani says this is attack and others across afghanistan are crimes against humanity and contrary to islamic values terrorist groups will never succeed in their sinister goals for divisiveness he says and will soon be

suppressed and destroyed by the legitimate struggle of the afghan security and defense forces at least two hundred fifty afghans have been killed in attacks nationwide since tuesday the taliban targeted security forces in the east south southwest and north of the taliban on one hand and the islamic state on the other hand what they're trying to portray is that they have the ability to inflict damage not just to the afghan national security forces and the afghan government but also with us to the to its international counterparts wherever and whenever they want to on martyrs hill on the outskirts of kabul another victim of the mosque attack an elderly woman is laid to rest dozens have been buried here today as this spiritual and another body arrives and the morning goes on jennifer glass al jazeera on martyrs hill kabul. hundreds of kurdish protesters have demonstrated outside the united nations office an herbal copy of iraq's semi autonomous kurdish region they
12:13 am
were protesting against a military operation by the iraqi army in areas disputed by the kurds and by baghdad around one hundred twenty thousand people have been displaced since iraqi forces launched the campaign province troops have already seized control of all the disputed areas in northern iraq including the city of kirkuk seventy deca has more now from. there is a feeling of tension here in erbil people are not sure how this is going to play out certainly the protesters that took to the streets really reiterating their cause of the feeling that they've been stabbed in the back they've been abandoned by the international community by the united states saying that the peshmerga the kurdish forces the kurdish soldiers who fought so hard to push myself back within the last three years or so that was praised by the world and they now feel that everyone has turned their back on them of course the irony of this is that you have two forces now the iraqi forces that were trained and armed by the united states
12:14 am
they fought together just a year ago to push eisel out of mosul now pointing their guns at each other so certainly a real feeling here at the fundament also an element of humiliation the fact that the had to retreat from these areas that the iraqi army moved into and the fact that they had no international support no one actually came out to say that this is not what would be happening so this is something that people are dealing with right now and again these are uncertain times which is why people in erbil are feeling so uncertain and certainly just seeing the movements on the streets far less people out and about as you would expect. hundreds of thousands of syrians and leaving their war damaged towns and cities for the relative safety of the escalation zone set up across the country the areas where recently agreed on by turkey which supports the rebels owned by iran and by russia which backed the government will report a scene in cos you know has visited a deescalation zone in the province holiday and her to disabled son's

12:18 am
since winning the masters in april. and i'm bush on security forces in egypt's western desert has left up to sixteen people dead that's according to the egyptian government the police officers were raiding a hideout at the races when they came under fire from armed fighters six others are thought to have been injured rather gyptian security sources say the figure is far higher and that at least fifty five officers were killed no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. well we spoke to timothy cal this who's known resident fellow at the top of the institute for middle east politics he told us these types of attacks are rarely the subject of a public investigation so massive loss of life for the security forces in egypt and there's been a lot of different stories coming out since since it took place so there's
12:19 am
a lot of them there's a lack of clarity right now on who was involved the initial rumors was that it was house which is a militant group that has primarily been targeting the security forces for years now but then there are been all the reports of some people trying to claim it was isis some people are trying to suggest might have been other groups and that lack of clarity is continuing this moment even when the official statement was released by the ministry of interior we heard a number of people were killed but no clarity on the number. and so the government's been kind of slow to to let the public know exactly what happened who was behind it and what what the casualty figures look like there's going to be a lot a big investigation into how this could happen where the mistakes were made and how the intelligence was that it it's are very troubling i mean the thing that we often don't see is any sort of public investigation into these types of incidents and so the public doesn't really get a chance to have a look at the review process and learn from what has taken place i don't anticipate
12:20 am
that the investigation will be terribly public either although for the for their own sake i'm sure that they're going to be trying to figure out how this happened to prevent. losing more officers in the future. al-jazeera is demanding the release of its journalist mahmoud hussein who's now been in prison in egypt for more than three hundred days he's accused of broadcasting falls news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera strongly deny mahmoud has repeatedly complained of mistreatment during his incarceration he was arrested in december of visiting his family. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is in saudi arabia is part of a new push to end the gulf crisis it's been four months in saudi arabia united arab emirates egypt and bahrain suspended all ties with qatar after accusing it of supporting terrorism but citizens says he does not anticipate a breakthrough earlier this week he blamed the saudi led bloc for being unwilling to find a solution i think all hain has is for. he's back u.s.
12:21 am
secretary of state rex tillerson has landed in saudi arabia he was here in july then hope signing a memorandum of understanding with carter would be enough to end the blockade it didn't despite his shuttle diplomacy so now he's coming back trying a new tactic for the four blockading countries saudi arabia u.a.e. egypt and bahrain assigning blame and then in an interview saying qatar is willing to negotiate and the saudi led coalition is simply refusing to talk because he tried before he tried to try to be nice with everyone but this took him nowhere and produced no results so i think that's probably. the time has come to go some analysts say there is a renewed hope they might be more willing to engage now has the president for example try to put pressure on the saudis in the u.a.e. to be willing to to to me to some of the sanctions and stop that they.
12:22 am
are the fact that the president has called out now and basically decertified the iran deal is not going to make the saudis more willing to work with us they deal with the situation with god or us president initially put all the blame for the crisis on cutter but after being pushed by his secretaries of state and defense he now says it's time for all sides to talk if i can help mediate between cutter and in particular the u.a.e. and saudi arabia i would be willing to do so and i think you'd have a deal worked out very quickly his own secretary of state is publicly disagreeing taking the trip well downplaying expectations the g.c.c. crisis will end soon but he does during this trip could very well determine if that is true. al-jazeera. officials in somalia say the number of people killed in last week's bomb attack in mogadishu has risen to three hundred fifty eight another two

hundred twenty eight people were injured when a truck bomb exploded in a busy area of the somali capital it's the deadliest attack in the country's history fifty six people are still missing officials are accusing the group for being behind the attack but it has yet to confirm or deny any involvement the head of the world health organization says he's rethinking his appointment of zimbabwe's president robert mugabe as a goodwill ambassador after being heavily criticized for the decision the u.k. and the united states have opposed the appointment to along with dozens of health groups and human rights activists there demanding the decision be overturned because of alleged human rights violations committed in zimbabwe under mugabe's rule. at least thirteen police officers have been killed during an attack on their base in western new authorities say five others were wounded in the incident close to the town of are you near the border with mali and she has interior minister says an investigation is underway refugees from burundi have told our desire how their

12:29 am
largely fine and dry now it's further south we've got the showers but even here they're fairly subdued the sunshine in between the. short films of hope and inspiration. a series of short stories that highlight the human triumph against the odds. al-jazeera selects at this time in a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure. sometimes we risk our lives in taking these roads. saving lives is a dangerous job as a vaccine so it's on a good twenty four hours there are patients waiting for his mother's house who must

protestors have been protesting outside the united nations office in erbil angry over the military operation by the iraqi army and by sheer. join forces being set up in africa as a whole region aimed at tackling the threat from. the united nations has warned that the zahal is descending into all out violence again as. a united nations delegation arrives in mali france and the un a backing regional security force members are here to get an update on when it will be operational. because you know this is france presides over the u.n. security council in october so i have the honor to lead the study for a very important visit to support the efforts of the members who have established this essential force against terrorist movements in the region. and. the multinational force made up of soldiers from mali mauritania bikini fast and chad
12:32 am
all former french colonies soldiers are teaming up to fight armed groups linked to al qaeda leader's office let me see additional. they've chosen mali as a right place to evaluate the security situation and develop plans for a military collaboration. a rebellion a no the mahdi by the twenty people five years ago thought to create a new state called as allied with the uprising was hijacked by al qaeda linked fighters who seized major towns in northern mali and. established islamic law and. french troops drove them out again later but they continue to do much attacks from desert hideouts and have spread into areas once considered safe five hundred schools in the north and central region are closed because of security threats that means out of the fifty thousand children are out of school so that's an important sign that the election is held hostage by the conflict and. the u.n. says so far the multinational forces only received
12:33 am
a quarter of its annual five hundred million dollars budget analysts say even with the right amount of funding it may not succeed. did you wind. up going by. the french defense secretary says the regional food could fail if it doesn't receive more funding particularly from the united states but with president don trump's administration under scrutiny after four u.s. soldiers were killed in an ambush and its biggest elsewhere victoria gate in the al-jazeera now a right wing billionaire businessman who's been called the czech donald trump looks set to become the czech republic's new prime minister and. skeptic and no party has won about thirty percent of votes in south and parliamentary election he's been critical of the european union in the past and is against the czech republic
12:34 am
joining the euro zone but he now says he wants to take an active role in shaping the policies and he's beginning talks to form a coalition government. this is. not that we have extremely excited and we've been really want to thank you you've supported us in such numbers almost one and a half million voters is something we did not expect would you put the culprit in cinemas even despite the massive this information campaign that's been going on for almost two years well among the part is that will be vying to be in the coalition is the far right s.p.d. which polled in fourth place. if he was willing to negotiate the elements of a political program in this key elements i included on the referendum including the referendum on leaving the european union it includes us with zero tolerance of migration within this immigration being abandoned should be a law and as promotion. well i join our via skype from the capital project by
12:35 am
a check economists term said let's check a welcome to the program and what's your reaction to this and the rise of mr barrett. well it came as no surprise you know this is quite a general trend that received in the west that populist sort of gaining leads and the likening to try to berlusconi i don't think is that far off but i would say that this list of ours mr bobbitt is not the worst kind and we have much worse here in europe or in united states of america story seems to be that's a moderately populist and also to stand seems somewhat moderate i mean we are bohemians we've always been sort of standing on the fence and it seems like no matter what system we have we always decide on a very sort of big u.s. double slit in the result of elections there are numerous scandals that surround him including a fraud indictment talks about the hand of deep states but what's the reality do you think. well i think this is terrible i think this is no standing in today's
12:36 am
politics but hey i don't i don't get to vote for everybody which at which you know it's a future that rehab to understand he won by a landslide the second best victory after him was one third of the votes that he got so let's just hope that he's going to be reasonable also on the good on the so maligning on this is that we've got nine parties in the parliament so and most of them are quite reasonable most of them are i mean meaning you're on friendly and open and western so he will not be able to form a coalition and the other smaller now smaller parties have made it very clear that they don't want to be in the in the government indicted prime minister what do you reckon on the shape of that government the shape of the coalition the hill flecked i mean the third most powerful party as a party called pirates and a leader has great locks you know. and that's that's we have nine of those so it's going to be almost impossible to form a party without it would have to call for an absolutely true wide spectrum of color
12:37 am
so it would be his choice or their choice who is who to party who was let's hope the remaining parties will stand strong and try to influence the leadership of this country from a box back seat on the problems his message was clearly well listen to was the message was it was anti e.u. wasn't it say what it became does this have for europe. i mean mr bush is not clearly. not his main topic nor is the anti refugee the dangerous party of mr olcott whom i think you heard is very out and side wants to have a referendum. on the czechs it and he's also very much anti foreign although he himself does have japanese which is of course fine and nobody minds except for his own rhetoric seems to be unwelcoming to two discordant being so this is not really mr bob as mr bob is sort of moderately ambiguous about the european union as well as
12:38 am
are most of the checks unfortunately. with the said object fantastic get your perspective and your expertise on this appreciate that very much thank you my great pleasure it's just. to go until of a to begin to japan's general election opinion polls suggest that the prime minister is on track to win another term but if he does will become japan's longest serving leda circuit report stuff will take you. it's kerry much as i was first foray into japan's political arena is appointed by the current government the harvard graduate decided to run for election and says the party of hope she stands for office a credible alternative current administration it's basically just doing their point thanks for the starting people not for all the public i think we have to change it and if people want to change it the governor of tokyo yuriko quake it launched the party of hope last month pledging popular policies and
12:39 am
a nuclear free japan the party was initially considered the most prominent rival to prime minister shinzo law by its hold on government but on the eve of the general election polls show voters support has filed to gain ground and any hope of challenging his parliamentary majority is unlikely body of hope doesn't have a policy platform as different from the current warming party on top of the governor co-equal creator of the party is not running for the prime ministership so it looks like a very strange situation prime minister abbott has played the strong and stable card in the wake of escalating tensions with north korea telling everyone to vote for experience analysts say that campaign strategy has also paid off on a man when he's been lucky more than having played his cards right. when there's a national security crisis a johnny helps the incumbent government of on top of this the opposition party the
12:40 am
democratic party were so weak that it ended up in prodi. despite polls predicting our by returning to power projections could still change forty percent of voters reported to be undecided which candidate or party backing mother you did i haven't been able to decide at all taken on the night support stability of an administration. but at the same time i wonder if everything should remain the same . the latest opinion polls suggest a. party could secure as many as three hundred four hundred sixty five up for grabs plus a two thirds of the majority held before the election and that's his decision. paving the way for him to potentially become the longest serving leader in japan.
