a hotel where somalia's president was expected to host a meeting a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle into the building and detonated the bomb somali place a gunfire could be heard from inside the second bomb went off near the form of parliament house building and appears to have targeted the military. is following the story for us from neighboring kenya mohammed what more information do you have . well so we can conform to kabul more talks one. the hotel which is next to the national theater don't throw away from the presidential palace that is where at least three heavily armed al shabaab gunmen gained entry to it is the hotel. that was whole thing a meeting that was supposed to host a meting between the president of somalia mohammad of the life for my view on presidents of the five regional for drill states of somalia the second car bomb

happened near the tomb of the unknown soldier it is a place where there is a military checkpoint and also a busy intersection in mogadishu and in the past few minutes talking to people in mogadishu they told me that the fighting is still going on within the hotel security of the hotel and police bottling the al-shabaab gunmen who gain entry into the hotel mahmoud obviously for what's really going to whether or not the president was indeed in that hotel and indeed the fact that it was common knowledge that he was to host a meeting that oversee al shabaab found out about. we can confirm that the president was not of the hotel at the time of the our talk this was supposed to have happened later on this evening the meeting between him

and the presidents of the federal state of somalia. has confirmed that there are behind these two in car bombs and they seem to be taking advantage of the fragility of the national security apparatus in somalia no one expected them to carry out an attack of this magnitude just two weeks to the day they cut it out the biggest tuck in somalia's history on a talk at the another busy intersection in mogadishu in which more than three hundred fifty people died mohammed abinger has the very latest there on that car bomb attack in mogadishu. let's take you now to spain where we've heard from catalans regional leader for the first time since madrid sacked him his health his parliament and called a new election prime minister mariano rajoy imposed the measures in response to his declaration of independence. with reply has been measured he's calling for

democratic opposition to madrid's takeover of essentials albeit our style is a message that i want to convey so that we have to be patient but actually have to have perseverance and perspective that is clear to us that the best way to defend what we have achieved so far is to have a democratic opposition to article one five five this is the response to the deliberate action against catalans who have for many centuries felt different we have to overcome any threats and to act in a civil and peaceful manner we do not wish to use false one. well under simmons's life for us and barcelona the president really saying he wants things to be calm but not really giving in but there are reports that national authorities are already moving into barcelona and parts of as catalonia this does feel like it's going to spiral. well look we don't have full

information on that yet it hasn't been confirmed but what i can tell you is this no one is clear who is actually in control in barcelona right now you heard there from the president i'm actually in the square which is occupied at the moment with moroccan separatists making a demonstration of course is one of the things he's been over the past few weeks other separatist causes coming to barcelona but that aside from pretty relevant to what's going on here the spanish still flies above the main building the seat of government here in barcelona alongside the cut the flood now as far as going to talk to the people is concerned around the streets everyone is somewhat confused they're hearing a rollout of information from madrid and seeing the images of

a major demonstration of pro-union just demonstrators in the capital that the expressions of anger towards catalans go on for secession and the result will move to fear in many quarters because no one is quite sure who was doing was even good spelt it out quite clearly that he's far into the over the top brass of the police force and the. large echelon of the security forces and furthermore were expecting the. a rest all for peace tomorrow possibly and some of his ministers if not all of them when the prosecutor general rules on what sort of charges he will face on monday one of them could well be in rough translation rebellion so i must be very difficult for people that whichever

side that they stand on secession when they hear that the own police chief has been suspended my madrid and obviously all the key politicians to really i suppose believe that. a friend in the home region is going to be ok all things don't actually come to a head. here you have a very very salient points there is this feeling that what is further down the line you know how does this work out the result was a successful economy which is nosediving right now the tourist industry this nosediving and also the spanish economy for costs being revised downwards for twenty eighteen because of the on rest so all round in terms of food if you're in business or if you're in any area of commerce you're going to be concerned

furthermore i've been speaking to a lot of public service workers many many of them here packing the square out on friday evening in very large numbers public service workers who are saying look they do want to see independence this doesn't represent all of them but everyone is really watching what they're going to do with unions those involved in really important parts of the infrastructure of the services of life in gaza loonier if they go on a general strike again if they develop areas of unrest and i was also speaking to a student a very short time ago outside the government building here. he said that he had his his friends well set the group protests groups were all set to try to occupy public buildings or sit ins or whatever to stop any moves to get their president put in handcuffs so to speak they're all basically standing by and so we expect

to actually happen that really is madrid perhaps going it slightly in slow motion but what we expect to happen is some sort of conflict whether that conflict is directly physical or whether it's just verbal on the some sort of middle ground that people can find well that remains to be seeing many signs and jason is that bringing as the very latest from a possible. u.s. defense secretary james mattis says the threat of a nuclear missile attack by north korea is accelerating speaking at the annual defense talks in neighboring south korea mattis insisted diplomacy was the preferred course of action but stressed it was only effective when backed by credible force make no mistake any attack on the united states or our allies will

be defeated any use of nuclear weapons by the north will be met with a massive military should launch the fact of an overwhelming. talking about is following developments from the south korean capital. there were strong words from the united states defense secretary he was here in seoul on part of a two day visit partly to discuss the defense of the peninsula which is an annual thing between the u.s. and south korea and partly to pave the way for president transfers it on the seventh and eighth of november now that visit in itself is creating increased tensions here and general mattis was at pains to warn north korea that any nuclear attack with weapons would be met with a very very massive military response and he did intimate that north korea could not win in that situation having said that his tone in the last two days has been more conciliatory than that of president trump you may remember his fire and fury

speech at the united nations in august and also his threat to totally destroy your career he has resorted to a word a war of words of mass destruction and people are worried that the world may turn to weapons there is a lot of concern here the united states is up to its defenses its bought three naval carrier groups into the region it's flown it's moved it's five stealth fighters to japan just in case the president trumps visit produces some kind of reaction from north korea they've conducted six nuclear test most of those have been underground but the north korean foreign minister has warned that they will conduct an atmospheric nuclear test and who knows what that will provoke but there is a lot of concern on the korean peninsula that will happen what will happen general mattis is said basically the actions of north korea are provoking and accelerating the situation and causing a greater possibility of conflict on the korean peninsula but he also stressed that the need was for diplomacy for talking he said the united states would not want war

it wanted a denuclearization of the canary a korean peninsula now also said that he couldn't imagine any situation whereby the united states would accept a nuclear north korea now north korea is well on its way to being a nuclear power so something has to give the big question here is what will give and who will give it. so to come on the program taps running dry the water shortage in tripoli that's turned into a humanitarian crisis and around the greek island of leicester square a surge of asylum seekers as accounts out to double their capacity. with. with. hello there a typhoon it's working its way towards japan you can see it on the satellite

rock and state more than six hundred thousand will hinge on have fled to bangladesh since late august after a military crackdown by army amar's military human rights groups say the decision to harvest the rice raises questions about whether the refugees or lever be allowed back flow and slewing has more from young on there are a couple of ways to look at this one is that this is simply a practical solution the rice crops are right before harvesting and if they were left to just stand in the fields they would go to waste so the myanmar government has put in place a plan to harvest the crops bringing in combine harvesters and laborers to do the work and agricultural ministry spokesman has told us that the local government is in charge of the harvest and the eventual sale and the proceeds of the sale will go to the local government although there are no details on how they plan to use it but the other issue is this raises ethical questions as the asia director of human

rights watch puts it you really can't call a crop ownerless when you've used a campaign of arson and violence to drive the owners from their land and this is what the myanmar military has been accused of doing and the other issue pertains to future use is this harbors perhaps the first step of the myanmar government to appropriate the land from revenge or refugees who've been driven to bangladesh now if it is it will raise other questions what about repatriation and resettlement of the refugees now granted we are a long way from that bangladesh and myanmar officials haven't yet worked out details of how they plan to repatriate range of refugees but they will have to be other questions that that need to be asked such as where will they return to and what will they return to if their farms and villages are no longer there. u.s. media is reporting that a federal grand jury has approved the first charges in the investigation into

russian meddling in last year's presidential election the challenges are said to be still sealed under orders from a federal judge special counsel robert muller a former f.b.i. director is leading the investigation and he is looking into whether truong campaign officials colluded with russian efforts or rob reynolds joins us live now from washington d.c. so rob scan details about who's on this arrest list but the investigation must be moving forwards if we're getting to that stage. that's right sue and we don't know exactly who's been indicted but we do know some of the people who special counsel robert bolton has shown a great deal of interest in among them michael flynn who served briefly as the national security advisor in the trump administration before he was fired for lying about the extent of his contacts with russians another is paul man of four who was

trump's campaign manager for a time and who has had extensive contacts with ukrainian groups backed by russia and received several millions of dollars from groups like that but did not report as a agent of a foreign power as he's required to do by by law and then there's donald trump jr who had a meeting with a russian lawyer linked to the kremlin in which he was promised they some damaging information about hillary clinton so whether or not those individuals will be the subject of the indictments they've certainly been the subject of a lot of scrutiny now how does this kind of an investigation work it's a broad ranging investigation not only looking at the. collude possible collusion between the campaign and russians but also financial dealings of the whole trump business empire and the way that prosecutors work is they try to get lower middle

level individuals involved in an alleged chain of conspiracy. to they would indict them or put pressure on them and hoping that they would then provide more determinating information to people further up the chain and by the way there's a great deal of dispute in the united states among constitutional scholars as to whether the president of the united states can actually be criminally indicted or whether the only remedy in cases of wrongdoing is the political remedy of impeachment they watch to save as up analyst thank you for the latest staff from d.c. . unofficial results from kenya's repeat presidential election suggest presidenta or kenya has won more than filmic ninety seven percent of the vote but is monday to appears to be weak turnout is estimated to be less than thirty five percent and that's you two opposition supporters heeding a call to boycott the poll the election has also be marred by violence with voting
