parliament and called a snap election for the region in december hundreds of thousands of people rallied in barcelona on sunday to call for a united spain andrew simmons joins us now live from barcelona andrew bogut my timings right here. the prosecutor's action in court should have started by now what has been happening there. what we're expecting is a statement from the prosecutor general within the next half hour will this actually set out the charges that have been decided upon that's unclear we'll await that statement but the options seem to be either a charge of sedition which could carry a fifteen year sentence in jail that's a maximum sentence or rebellion which is more unlikely is felt because rebellion would mean violence being involved and certainly. say that

is definitely not the case there's no danger of that but what we're seeing now because of this shards hanging over the leader here he is not being seen any way and we've seen other ministers appear arrive at offices lined there isn't the spanish government says it's ok for these ministers or what spain would regard as sacked former ministers what people here the party here regards as members of the republic. republican government in waiting or in suspension or whatever you might want to call it we've yet to find out what the stance is going to be amongst the leadership but what's happening also apart from all of this is a meeting of the p d kept party with which is that is the main part of the ruling coalition here or what was the ruling coalition because the rulers

are right now from the spanish central government. now take us through a little bit of what's going on behind you can hear the chanting and who is in control of that building who showed up for work today sitting in some of the regional government offices. well as you rightly point out these this is the former. palace there is no evident presence of any elected body the parliament is in dissolved state right now the office is there we are not sure whether the desks of being planned or not there are other entrances but no one has been seen going in or out. has put on instagram a rather curious photograph of a very strange low angle of part of a building which is very reminiscent of this building local media are reporting

that they don't know where he is could he perhaps be inside the instagram smile i call him good morning but no the serious side to this is the. is not being seen he has not shown this party meeting whether he's in taking part by video link or something secretly we're not aware of but things will become clearer once that meeting is over there are indications from the party that they don't intend to challenge the government in the sense of they don't intend to be blatantly going into the offices and trying to occupy them or indeed trying to resist the police because what we have is a situation here where both sides in this crisis blame each other obviously both sides are accusing each other of illegality. claim that they are in effectively in power certainly in terms of the spanish government they are they have article one

five five and they are using it to the full sacking government officials and government members and also they are imposing the rule of law but as i say the public as they describe themselves the republic former ministers insist they will push forward. to taking part in the elections in december it's a possibility could there be a final decision by those people who matter the public in that election that is a possibility let's see we're still not sure. right now anderson is there watching the situation for us. amir is reiterating the importance of safeguarding his country's sovereignty but also his commitment to dialogue to resolve the gulf diplomatic crisis shake to mean been hammered the family was speaking to the u.s. television program sixty minutes carter has been under a blockade for almost five months after saudi arabia the u.a.e.

behind and egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties my calorie ports from washington d.c. . there was no sign of friction among gulf leaders when they met president trump on his first foreign trip it was all smiles and a common pledge to combat terrorism in all its forms less than two weeks later the blockade against cutter was launched much to the surprise of carter's emir shaikh bin. we were praising each other. laughing with each other this cussing you know how to solve this terrorism that is a threat for the rest of the world they are making demands of you that you shut down al-jazeera that you may give them your word that you're not supporting in islamic groups are you going to meet these demands our sovereignty is a red line we don't accept anybody interfering in our sovereignty when you tell me to close a channel like al-jazeera history were right one day in fifty or sixty seventy

years how it changed the whole idea of a free speech in the region do you believe that they want regime change yes they one they want 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 nine hundred six after my father. became the emir 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 would this in and we want to turn. believe me charlie we want to tell and but nothing is going to be above our dignity our sovereignty but we want to turn and i almost say that if they go

walk one meters toward me i'm willing to walk ten thousand miles towards them but it may be left to others to persuade those continuing the blockade to take that first step mike hanna al-jazeera washington bahrain's foreign minister meanwhile is calling for carter to be frozen out of the region or block the gulf cooperation council hallard been akhmed has tweeted bahrain won't attend the upcoming g.c.c. summit unless cutter meets the demands of blockading nations syrian government forces have stormed one of the last remaining neighborhoods held by eisel in the eastern city of their resort media is the most populous area still under the armed groups control one hundred eighty people live there the syrian army broke eyesores four years siege on the resort in september but there are still small pockets of resistance the seventh round of talks aimed at ending syria's six year war is

getting underway in the kazakh capital less than the meeting is expected to call for a cease fire between government forces and rebel groups for at least six months of clearance of mines prisoner swaps and the release of hostages are also on the agenda the talks are sponsored by ran in russia which support the syrian government and turkey which back the rebels. you're here loudly the is from the syrian opposition he says his side has two priorities in the talks. first is the issue of the detainees or the prisoners or the people or almost three hundred thousand people taken hostage actually. and such an issue is beyond negotiations and it has been stated in articles twelve thirteen fourteen in. geneva . solution two to five four and it is really high time for the world to interfere and put an end to such as tragedy of those people the second thing is the creation

earlier which are being breached by that is g.m. and iran on almost daily basis and russia is a go into and it's supposed to do something about that lemon can has more details now from those talks and i stand now. there started talks have started and these are closed door talks between all of the major parties now who's in attendance we have the syrian government the syrian opposition delegations from both of those we have the united nations and also the united states but mainly it's of the three guarantors of the deescalation zones and that's russia turkey and iran now there is some concern about these deescalation zones there has been clashes taking place within the mind of clashes say the syrian opposition but they say that civilians have been affected now russia says that actually those who have been just operations against extremist groups that they call groups like. isis fighters and

the civilians are affected now the talks are taking place right now seem to be of a technical nature which country does what role what the russia what do the russians do what the iranians do what do the turkish to now whilst all of this goes on we also have another round of talks taking place in november that's november twenty eighth in geneva with the u.n. and the interim syrian delegations now the russians are hoping that these peace talks these deescalation torso as well as the prisoner exchanges and everything else that's been discussed will dovetail into those talks or it seems to me it seems to many observers of the process here and so on of it president bashar assad is in a very strong position now that's something that turkey is concerned about it's something that the russians have wanted for a while now to see him in a strong position so they can bring about an end to the conflict we're also hearing from local russian media reports about the russian military role so it's likely that something is going to come out about their role about the size of their role

within syria in the next twenty four hours. kenya's election board will announce the final results from the presidential poll rerun in an hour and a half's time despite the vote being for spawned in some areas supporters in an opposition stronghold in nairobi for two with police after a visit by the education minister president a who came the outer ran without a significant challenge after opposition leader. pulled out. for me the miller is live for us in nairobi so this decision by the election commission are likely to go down well at least with the supporters of the opposition right from either. the opposition has said throughout this period that it wouldn't vote on the twenty sixth of october which is passed and of course when the electoral commission try to hold elections a couple of days later because of insecurity in that area the opposition as well as religious leaders said you still can't hold this election year we're not going to

participate so we do expect we have expected that the opposition wouldn't participate in this election but what the electoral commission is doing now and there is electoral law that makes provision for this is that it will make the final declaration with out holding elections in about four counties about twenty five constituencies who didn't vote they say that any vote there wouldn't make much of a difference to the final result so far from the little commission they've said that. has won the election with four with the. pardon me and ninety eight percent of the vote and that's with about a forty three percent turnout now this election hasn't been without its a criticism and difficulties apart from the opposition pulling out we're also looking at an electoral commission who has given different numbers around how many people have actually voted initially saying forty eight percent of the electorate

dropping that down to thirty three now say forty three percent and this seems to be based on a calculation around how many constituencies actually voted as opposed to the ninety million kenyans who are rigid to vote. all this going on while this crew says i'm from human rights groups about the conduct of security forces and use of force take us through some of our. well it's human rights groups including amnesty international human to human rights watch is saying that police have used a mystery force against protesters on election day and in protest of following the election last week they've said and the police have been brutal in how they try to disperse protesters quell these demonstrations that we've seen in the last few days when raiding people's homes using live ammunition when they shouldn't and so far we're looking at about at least eight people killed by police according to these

these rights groups and they say the shouldn't have happened they've called a number of times on the government the police to stop using this brutal force against protesters but they get a lot of questions around how police are dealing with protesters that we imagine would continue to go on given that the electoral commission is going to make a final declaration this afternoon so far we're hearing that of this announcement should happen in the next hour and a half then we're likely to see the opposition coming back with a response to that final declaration from me the middle of our days here us from nairobi. still ahead on al jazeera many miles government office to take back some rank of refugees but the numbers don't add up.

very much a case of the calm after the storm for japan a typhoon has cleared for you to still see a huge massive cloud there just clearing away from. guys coming back in behind and we'll see temperatures getting up to around seventeen celsius in tokyo was the clear up operation on the way seventy celsius there as well for soccer on tuesday off then go on into when. if anything those temperatures just edging up a touch more will feel pleasantly warm as we go on into the middle parts of the week present sunshine to into the good parts of china now it's nice nice to settle here twenty six celsius for hong kong further north shanghai at around twenty degrees that's the key north east leeway to continue to drive in and it will continue to feed some rather lively showers into central and southern parts of vietnam over the next few days but elsewhere to the north of that as you can see the sunshine continues to be some nicely heavy showers there then across southern parts of vietnam more big downpours coming in we have seen some localized flooding

and the last showers continue course a good part of malaysia down into indonesia jakarta looking pretty wet with the top temperature of around thirty three degrees celsius may well see further showers a little further west sumatra. al-jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of count folk abene dot . 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.

dispute in the kurdish parliament in iraq after president assad barzani said he will not be standing for another term in office he was the driving force behind last month's controversial referendum on cessation which triggered a regional crisis from stephanie deka now. an independent kurdistan was supposed to be his legacy and yet it seems to have led to his downfall a somber looking muscle better than he finally addressed the people directly on sunday night after relative silence for weeks one on one. according to the law the president's camp extended by the parliament however i informed the parliament and i will not extend my term i will not accept any amendment in the law to extend my term as president supporters of the president gathered outside parliament they managed to get into its grounds despite the presence of riot police at the entrance opposition media was attacked these men also asked around for the names of critical

opposition m.p.'s but it didn't disrupt parliament which after hours of talks approved the redistribution of presidential powers among the government parliament and the judiciary after twelve years as president come wednesday will take some more of a back seat he remains head of the k.g.b. party and he'll still lead the high political council a body created to deal with the post referendum phase and he said he will remain what he called the highest rank of references to the pressure featured heavily in his televised address. in the fight against isis showed great bravery the people of kurdistan short of defending spirit the international community came here admire the role of the peshmerga the people of kurdistan but unfortunately at the time they had to show action they all went back to their own interests and all the principles disappeared you also referenced a kurdish proverb saying again we realize that the kurds only have the mountains as

our friends but you also mentioned the betrayal over losing her cook in reference to fellow kurds in an opposition party. at the end of his address president massoud barzani asked the kurds to be unified they've always been internal divisions here but the aftermath of that controversial referendum seems to have widened those cracks in kurdish unity could perhaps be the biggest challenge in the short term stephanie decker al-jazeera. me and maher state media are reporting politicians and businessmen are meeting to discuss setting up an economic zone in iraq and state meanwhile as army claimed peace and stability had returned to the region at least six hundred thousand people from the minority community have fled iraq and since august after a military crackdown they are now in bangladesh i mean my government minister told local media it's likely one hundred fifty or one hundred muslims will now be repatriated every day florence louis has more for me i'm gone. the government is
