spanish government insists new regional polls will go ahead in december anderson's reports from barcelona. live spain this the response to the breakaway declaration from barcelona on friday the demonstrators are unionists government supporters in madrid waving spanish flags. i am caton i am spanish and it is the moment in which we need to be more united be brave and to do something definitive. as the demonstrators in madrid called for the jailing of the catalan leader colors pleased him all he was freely walking around his home city of jerome surrounded by supporters and media the prosecutor general is set to announce charges. pushed him or made a t.v. address to catalans calling for peaceful support of the surgical holder the other side. it 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 council and who have for many centuries felt different. we have to overcome any threats and to act in a civil and peaceful manner for those watching in barcelona there seem to be as many doubters as supporters. and i don't agree with making unilateral declaration because in the end even if the people who participated in october first have moral legitimacy they don't have legal that say here at the seat of power the palace or the general attacked it was unclear who was really in control one secession activists said large numbers of students had contingency plans to guard the building it would have to to defend. the people.

is now but that also depends on madrid's reaction if it is indeed very heavy handed you could see support for independence skyrocket in the region of course if you look at what's happening in spain this is largely to do with long running tensions between madrid and the region of catalonia and indeed in the cattle and independence movement they don't want to leave the e.u. they still want to be part of the e.u. of course you see a lot of these regional kind of breakaway movements across the european continent. i'm going to force their way into a hotel and taken hostages in the somalian capital mogadishu the president had been due to hold a meeting that at least nineteen people have died in the attack which began with two car bomb explosions right had a report from neighboring kenya. this is the target of the first explosion. to tell a story throughout waves from the presidential palace

announcement that he will not be extending his term he will no longer be president this is a man who's run this country for twelve years he fought for this country and of course he was behind this controversial referendum against the advice even of his allies and the backlash that we have seen here too that has been incredibly unexpected people here absolutely shocked about what has gone on and what continues to go on so certainly it will be a significant announcement it is what we expect but again we haven't had the official announcement as of yet. unofficial results from kenya's presidential election rerun suggest a president who has won more than ninety seven percent of the vote but is monday to peers to be weak with turnout estimated to be less than thirty five percent and opposition supporters boycotting the vote i'm going to miller has more from the capital nairobi. this is all that's left of these

in charge of the harvest and the eventual fail and the proceeds of the sale will go to the local government or 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 they 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 you are not officials haven't yet worked out details of how they plan to repatriate range of refugees but they will have to be
