tossed by the security council to mediate between arabs and israelis. his death would prove one of the darkest days in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the count at this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera where every. spanish prosecutor is a jew in cold shortly to seek formal charges against catalonia is independence leaders.

alone sam is a done this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. our sovereignty is a red line we don't accept anybody interfering our sovereignty counters the mayor reaffirms the in poll things of safeguarding his country's integrity but also willingness to resolve the gulf crisis me in my government office to take back some writing to refugees but the numbers don't add up the. country in political limbo is kenya's main opposition leader calls for a new election within ninety days. spain's top prosecutor is jus in cold shortly and is expected to seek charges against those responsible for catalonia as independence decoration ok question is whether the

ousted regional president. will face legal action and if so what he'll be charged with. joins us now from barcelona andrea let's pick up on that issue now a lot of the attention on what may transpire in court today take us through the possibility of of charges. well the two charges expected to be considered is this power there's no decision yet on which one the prosecutor has actually opted for he may actually lay the allegations down and define the charge later that's what media are reporting right now that the two charges are sedition which could be an option which would carry up to a fifteen year jail sentence has to be said it's not always imposed by any means but it is a serious charge then the other charge possibly is rebellion that's being looked at

although. lawyers are adamant that that's unlikely to be pursued because it involves violence allegations which they say there's no way that that could be levelled at so that would carry a maximum of thirty years jail how this will actually roll out his own clear as far as. himself is concerned he was his home city over the weekend i hasn't been seen this morning it's now ten o'clock local just past and o'clock local time and you'd think by now anyone who's going to appear for work in the main palace of government which is in this square where overlooking this square which is packed with media right now you'd think that if anyone was going to work they'd be here by now apparently not but. the minister of territory and sustainability he did appear for work on time expecting to get behind his desk to

work where he reports now that the police the most police quite. calmly invited him to leave his office and there are reports that he has done just that turned and left of his own accord and that is the situation there but elsewhere in the city everyone is wondering really what is going to happen the madrid government is firmly in control of this region it would seem they've sacked all the ministers of the government here and they've also sacked some civil servants and special advisers right across the board both here and abroad so yes the situation right now is that everyone is watching and waiting watching and waiting behind you those government buildings who's in control of some of the regional offices there. well it would appear the regional police are now under control from madrid so they are highly

unlikely to allow members of the government that actually did orchestrate this vote in parliament which voted in favor seventy to ten for the declaration of secession and these police on the ground but but in the way they're behaving so you would say that if the ministers aren't at work then they're certainly not in control and as far as the. colors concerned he's posted a picture on twitter which shows the ornate eaves of the roof of a building which local media are saying definitely is the main government palace that is an obscure photograph with a smiley i call on it in a good morning everyone reference furthermore he's posted on twitter something else

that's rather. he said that the result of the big football match between his home city jerome and. real madrid which went to warn injure owners favor was an example of how effectively they didn't use these words but really how david and goliath battle could be won but in terms of any battle right now it does appear that madrid is firmly putting its foot down on the situation however no one is in place here yet the flags flying the union the spanish flags flying but no one really is in place here yet no clear guidelines are being given to the public on what's going on and furthermore the very large number of activists and protesters who have seen secession declared all waiting and watching and wondering what on earth they're going to do a lot of dissent actually in their ranks because they feel that push them all

really needs to be seen to be doing something right now. all right thanks so much for now andrew symonds there. now the seventh round of talks aimed at ending syria six year war is getting underway in the kazakh capital the meeting is expected to call for a cease fire between government forces and rebel groups for at least six months the clearance of mines prisoner swaps and the release of hostages are also on the agenda the talks are sponsored by iran and russia which support the syrian government and turkey which backs the rebels. cutter's amir is reiterating the importance of safeguarding his country's sovereignty but also its commitment to dialogue to resolve the gulf diplomatic crisis shake to mean been hammered and fanny was speaking to the us television program sixty minutes culture is being under a blockade for almost five months after saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind in egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties my calorie ports in washington d.c.

a regime change it's just so obvious history as well tells us teaches us that they tried to do that before in one thousand ninety six after my father. became the emir of qatar has denied any support for terrorism. offered this explanation as to why the taliban was allowed to open an office in doha the reason why they came here it's not because we asked them to come here because other people like the united states yeah america united states won and the taliban here they wanted to have dialogue so they asked us if we can host them here and have the dialogue so that we host of them here this is the reason why they're here how with this in and we want to turn and. believe me charlie we wanted to end but nothing is going to be about our dignity our sovereignty but we want to turn i only say that if they go walk one meters toward me i'm willing to walk ten thousand miles towards them but maybe left to others to persuade those continuing the blockade to take that first step mike

i'm back time to recap the headlines here now to syria now spain's top prosecutor is expected to seek charges against those responsible for catalonia is independence declaration. regional president carlos bustamante could be among those facing action. as a mayor says he wants to resolve the gulf diplomatic crisis as long as the sovereignty is respected shake to mean. to us television program sixty minutes has been under a blockade from most five months after saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt diplomatic and trade ties. media reports say the government is

considering setting up a special economic zone in. tree says peace and stability in the region has been restored about six hundred thousand rangar have fled from right into bangladesh since the military crackdown began this. criminal gangs in mexico are recruiting children documented migrants into the u.s. al-jazeera has obtained rare access to some of the children acting as guides in juarez just across the border from texas john home and before. train is the united states so close to see that what is mexico you can almost reach out touch or. the dream of many is to get to the other side and that's where mexican cartels have scented knopper to take smuggling across those without visas for a price. what's little known is to do that they're increasingly relying on minors

as people smugglers they call them dogs. this fourteen year old boy is one of them like others we talked to two hundred dollars for ever. can he takes across five hundred percent true americans with the money i can do many things buy clothes food i can do many things for my family. the cartels recruit put your tito's in the poorer parts of florida as they can a more in a single night than their parents do in four months working in the city's buda factories. government officials told us that strong young people into the business along the u.s. mexico divide you might be surprised to know that only thirty percent of the us mexico border is covered by any sort of fence and it's where that end is that the young guides try to get their kites across the united states. but your return still face the desert with its snakes biting cold and the waiting u.s.

border patrol i think we had close to close to seventy people that were identified as human are smugglers in two thousand and six in twenty sixteen we had almost one hundred fifty people identified as being human are human smugglers the problem for the u.s. is that it's extremely hard to prosecute minors and that's exactly why the cartels are using them they can run the routes again and again if they're caught it usually just means a ride back to mexico. they're handed over to this government center where a small but dedicated team gives them classes while they wait for parents to pick them up trying to encourage them to go back to school and intensity that director here berthel saul is worries if they don't they'll only get more tangled up in the cartels your money would ask if they could finish getting into arms trafficking kidnapping he says. after being caught in his first crossing his seventeen year old is one of those who decided to. begin working with who knew him and i got scared i

thought something would happen to me he told us but like many of qualities as young his options are limited and the prospect of a night's work rewarded with hundreds of dollars is a temptation whatever age you are john home and out is it or see it out. more in our top story now the political tension in spain's catalonia region langholm what are though is a political analyst joins us now live from madrid good to have you with us it's a very critical day what do you make of events going forward is this game over for the succession is saw can they really find a way to peacefully resist the will of madrid well in madrid i would say the moodies over confident because the yes there is this idea that the nationalists have been defeated. secession is going to go away i think that is obviously exaggerated we have to see the news we have in this morning is that several high

ranking officials in the catalonian government have turned up for work in defiance of the dismissal by the central government so this is a sign of resistance we don't know how much resistance we will see in the coming days it's too early to say then there's the potential flashpoint of what the judicial authorities do the state prosecutor has vowed to present charges against seventeen high ranking officials in the current government including the press and the vice president and the speaker of parliament if he does and the charges would be of sedition and rebellion very serious charges that could perhaps three hundred gys the nationalist could bring them out in the streets so i think it's still not game over of course the same time though it is a split region there are as we saw in the demonstrations a lot of people in catalonia who do not want to break away from spain do you see

this crisis is another way of looking at is simply going to increase the division within catalonia. well our unfortunately divisions are there already and very high the demonstration you mentioned yesterday of the union is people who oppose independence was indeed very very very good but there was another one recently as big as this one so both sides know they are divided the country the council and region is divided by half the nationalists being perhaps less than half or well obviously less than half of the population so they will have to measure their forces in a regional election that's not an election that has been called by the central government for december and then we will see as i say madrid there are confident that the unionists can win that election but the nationalists would lose the majority they have for the nationalists is a very difficult decision to take part that they have the clout and independent

country that well they seem to be losing cards about darts and they will probably take part in that election in a very difficult position because it's such a claim to climb down so well it's going to be interesting to see what happens with these election in december what implications will this have even if it's contained in catalonia and some form surely they'll be able to cations for you for the rest of the continent. yes of course so far the opinion and international community has been very clear about. opposition to canceling the pens and this in fact is one of the reasons i think the main one why even though the nationalists have been able to the to proclaim the castle and republic they themselves understand that it is not going anywhere that it's really not something real is more of a rhetorical the coronation than an actual fact because well international

community has not recognized them it doesn't look that any country will recognize them any time soon so well i would say they have they've called our bluff so they will have to sue to the regional election which as i say is very the present for them it's very problematic is inconsistent with the things they've been saying all along but they see they have no all the chance to contest again for power in the region in a regional election all right thanks so much for your thoughts on that. now puerto rico's power company is scrapping a three hundred million dollars deal to restore electricity but insists the agreement was not illegal the contract between white fish energy holdings and the bankrupt power utility was canceled because there was no competitive bidding around seventy five percent of homes and businesses in the u.s. territory are still without electricity after last month's hurrican. two american

feeding they're looking to ninety nine expand their landscape but the good thing about beavers is that it's a landscape that suits lots of other animals too so it's virtuous circle it's what we call a keystone species the beaver changes its landscape but it changes the wildlife as well that fills that landscape such cautious monitoring of the beavers reintroduction is essential five hundred miles to the north in scotland the impact of unchecked beaver populations is a big problem for farmers this is normally dry and they've belted down just in the ditch over here and they are busy trying to flood this area on a swathe of prime farmland across and beyond the group of b vision let loose illegally in two thousand and two has grown to an estimated four hundred fifty individuals it cost me four to five thousand pounds a year to degrees out because i have to hire an addict but when the water rises blocking out the drains it causes flood damage into the fields which were trying to

produce crops often produce food off. that is a major problem for us we need a management plan is responsive to the needs of farmers that recognize the different bits of law and can cope with beavers in different ways but accept that management is a fundamental part of having the species in this country in two thousand and sixteen the scottish government announced to be visit will have protected status and will be allowed to stay and i know that laos roam these lands in the sixteenth century is back for good where it is allowed to live clearly needs to be carefully considered and controlled but in the right place it's a welcome return to the ecosystem of the british isles. al-jazeera. scott. time to take you through some of the headlines here now spain's top prosecutor is
