4:00 pm
still a lot of truthful oscar. follows a group of u.s. army veterans. as they struggle to get their lives back. at this time. this is al jazeera.
4:01 pm
hello again i'm peter w. watching the news live from our headquarters here. coming up in the next sixty minutes. after days of speculation the deposed catalan leader meets the media in brussels. they are not going to go to guarantee that's why i'm staying here. refugees refusing to leave an australian run prison camp in papua new guinea saying their lives will be in danger. at the latest syrian talks in a stunning push to strengthen so-called deescalation zone. in the olympic flame can heat up interest in the event south korea has officially taken on the top thirty percent of tickets sold.
4:02 pm
ok let's start the program in brussels and in spain because the deposed catalan president colace putin on to spoken for the first time since charges were filed against him and secessionist leaders for declaring that catalonia is independence from spain he met his. a lawyer in brussels today but says he's not in the city to seek political asylum there have been growing tensions in spain impose direct rule and ordered new regional elections and. in regards to the elections called by the spanish central government we think they're a democratic challenge and we're not scared by democratic challenges quite the opposite if the spanish government wishes to carry out these elections to legitimize article one fine five's use of course we will face these elections spanish national police search council and police headquarters on tuesday as they investigate who helped to facilitate to the band independence vote says he's in belgium so he can act in quote freedom and safety he and other catalonian leaders
4:03 pm
could face thirty years in jail if they're convicted of rebellion sedition and embezzlement we've got correspondents following the story in belgium and spain hoda abdel-hamid is in the capital and capital barcelona first let's take it to david chaytor who's in brussels for us here on the news david what did he have to say. well i think you can boil it down to two essential points first that he was not here for political asylum he was here because this is the heart of europe the democratic heart of europe and that's why he chose to come to brussels because he could still operate freely and with security he said the other point the main point he made was that you think that the federal government in actual fact acting very much with violence and aggression and that he would not return to face trial in the dritte i guess he had what he called safety guarantees by that i think he
4:04 pm
means he's got to get a guarantee that he'll face a fair trial now at the moment he doesn't have those guarantees so it seems to be that he will stay here in brussels his idea was that he would try and. two european leaders this is the place he said where his idea is all. of a peaceful resolution to the catalonian independence crisis can be solved but most of the leaders in fact all of the leaders in the e.u. have actually said this is an internal affair for the madrid government they will not get involved so little likelihood that he'll get any audience with anybody important either at the commission or amongst the political leaders inside europe so what it appears is that he is going to take part in the december twenty first election supposed by madrid and he says he will respect those elections but he had
4:05 pm
a simple question to the government in spain he said will you respect those elections and those results of those elections so where are we now it appears that he is going to stay in and around europe. he still hasn't gotten the arrest warrant for him so he's he's a free man and the ministers with him are free to go wherever they want to try and make their points and there were views that feed him as much as they can but it doesn't appear he will go back and start campaigning in any way because he doesn't feel that he's safe or secure he feels perhaps that as soon as he puts is he steps into catalonia he'll be arrested by the madrid government so that's where we are at the moment he's not seeking political asylum he just wants to keep making his his point about cloning an independent during the news conference when he was going from french to spanish to english however he did say something along the lines of
4:06 pm
where there are ballot boxes we will be there so might we be heading to the situation where he's actually in belgium campaigning by default all by remote almost for the election that show july fourth december the twentieth something. yes it does appear that way at the moment none of those real questions were answered by the press corps he wanted to come out with a statement saying how important the values of democracy peaceful movement was and he was to accuse the government of using violence and aggression but yes it does appear that he has got some sort of idea of remote control if you like campaign for this election government on december the twenty first that's going to be very difficult very difficult to maintain your. disappointment by his
4:07 pm
supporters but at the moment it appears to be what is going to happen as a result of this press conference the latest word from. david thanks very much. in the capital barcelona so clearly as far as mr putin is concerned he thinks there is a real risk here that he flies back to barcelona gets off the plane and then has detained. surely according to his words but it has to be said that the government in madrid. preventive was out of the question. they were just waiting to hear the decision of the high court in. this moment he is not considered. formally charged with anything. but that could actually change very quickly just a couple of hours ago official charges.
4:08 pm
six people already speaker of the. parliament and five other members and their appear in front of the court. very disappointed. to hear with. what he called. peaceful resistance when it comes to the election. i mean on the face of it talking in the last. seems to be on board when it comes to using democracy to have
4:09 pm
an election but it wouldn't really be an election surely it would just be another referendum because it would be an issue lead one vote situation. because you do have. people that this president. will be. behind.
4:10 pm
the majority. that. the silent majority will finally go out will go to the ballot this time they don't have the excuse that the vote is illegal or. as it was described by. my druid they have the chance to take part in this. point of view her. during their rally it was a massive showing they were saying that this declaration of independence and going on was this. was completely disregarded. the elections on december twenty first will probably track that record straight on would know which side is actually the real majority in this region thanks.
4:11 pm
tension running high on manna silent in papua new guinea where there are widespread reports that locals are looting an australian run prison camp which was closed on tuesday about six hundred refugees are refusing to leave the facility over safety concerns the australian government wants them to move into the community but the refugees say they'll be attacked there have been rallies in several australian cities in support of the refugees who've power water and food supplies cut off his shot at us. four years ago astray began sending refugees who try to get to remote island prisons papa new guinea's menace islands and. on tuesday the menace island prison was decommissioned but refugees how they're a demanding they be allowed to stay saying forced eviction into the papa new guinea
4:12 pm
and community is dangerous man is our safety maybe this is my last picture you see here maybe not who knows our life is in deep danger. their fears how true is security left and local people the facility the refugees looks themselves inside essentially early this morning u.s. trained authorities all sent a bad inning these refugees essential really. and they have serious concerns for their safety on medicine and whether they may see lady or not so barricaded themselves in the same time there is precedent for their fears after locals broken and attacked refugees in twenty fourteen was cote they're fearful of worse violence when they're not protected by gun i spoke to forty refugees and asylum seekers and nearly everyone described how they had been beaten stabbed or assaulted on menace island they are terrified about moving to the main town of largo
4:13 pm
a story is policy did deter people from trying to reach it shores by boat but its legacy was more than two thousand people left in limbo human rights groups condemned conditions in the prisons and demanded the closure after a papa new guinea a court said detaining refugees was illegal the strain agreed to close the man asylum prison and pay refugees compensation this is a crazy situation everybody's been screaming about wanted to get out of the place where we saw that we had to close it and move them into a different facility and require the eyes to turn. not refugees to go back to their country of origin and now i want latif astray his government says the prison closure is a massive hit papa new guinea and yet papa new guinea disputed that in a statement on sunday which leaves refugees caught between two governments and a hostile native population shallop ballasts al-jazeera. ian rintoul is
4:14 pm
a spokesman for the refugee action coalition he says refugees at that prison camp are facing siege like conditions and they are refusing to be moved to other australian run prison counts on of a pacific islands. as best they can will be no through dr di drinking. some locals had said to supply them but we are looking at and it's aged at best probably at worst the people there either it's the it will likely be attacked not either by like night. it's not now and yet except to go away there is not a diary settlement i suspect of the country nice. safety and security young on the original i've got yeah on madison side they feel that. my time with i have gone in that instance they know while i continue to fight for country for turned to us all sites aside their country or alternative i think three people are dead and
4:15 pm
fifteen were wounded after a suicide bomb attack in the afghan capital kabul a security sources told al jazeera a man walked towards employees of the state broadcaster before detonating an explosive vest it's the second such attack in the city's diplomatic area in a matter of months in may at least eighty people were killed and hundreds were wounded. at least sixteen people have been killed in airstrikes in the eastern libyan city of burna before strikes lasted about an hour on monday night most of the victims were women and has been besieged for more than a year by armed groups loyal to the nikkei general he five top he's denied carrying out the strikes. last more ground still to cover for you here on the news hour including cambodia's opposition leader goes on trial amid a crackdown on dissent and some of his colleagues and i'm living in fear. two indictments and one guilty plea the legal case surrounding the from campaign and russia begins to take shape. and in sport and name our
4:16 pm
insight of a place in the knockout rounds of the champions league and d.c. with that story in about half an hour. final session for the seventh round of talks aimed at ending syria's six year war have now begun in the kazakh capital a stand in the meeting is expected to call for a cease fire between government forces and rebel groups for at least six months the talks are sponsored by iran and russia who support the syrian government and turkey which backs the rebels imran khan joins us live now from a stand or survey actually actually achieved today. what we're saying a lot of negotiations take place now syrian opposition sources were about to hold a press conference just behind me here but that was then canceled they say has been
4:17 pm
council because they haven't reached an agreement on prisoner exchanges the syrian opposition call those prisoners hostages they're being held hostage by the syrian regime they say some three hundred thousand people need to be released now this is a complicated issue according to the russians they say a lot more talks need to go on before any agreement can be made so that's really the main thrust of what the syrian opposition want and they say that's the reason that the press conference it was due to take place in the last hour hasn't taken place yet and that's where they'll announce what's being discussed now you said there that this six month ceasefire that's already happened these deescalation zones were agreed in september they six round of talks and these round of talks are much more techno about who does what kind of role within those deescalation zone but it live is a real problem the syrian opposition say that the iranian role in libya is one violence and one of attacking civilians the iranians say well actually they're going against groups like eisel and haiti s.
4:18 pm
and this is part of trying to deescalate the violence within it province so really what we're seeing now at this point in the a standard tools is two main points it's the opposition really pushing to release these three hundred thousand prisoners hostages as they call them and the violence in it live and so it's likely that that's going to be the main thrust of any person conference that might take place here how do they police those deescalation zones. well this is the role that the turks are taking on one side now as you say the turks are supporting the rebels so they put in boots on the ground there also the russians have overflight rights in those the escalation zones they using those airstrikes against h.t.s. and i saw the armed groups there in those areas near the iranian militias that are fighting there so that's really how they're policing the syrian opposition say that they are in effect this is almost an occupation of. those deescalation zones by the russians the iranians and the turks however they say that this is been agreement
4:19 pm
between all of the parties and the syrian regime and this is one way of trying to make peace but the international rescue committee that's one of the big charities operating in the area has also spoken they've said they don't see civilians being protected by those guarantors they also don't see peace breaking out over syria as the russians seem to be insinuating. imran thanks very much sultan baraka friend of al-jazeera following that story for us the devil is in the details with the syrian peace plans how do they make it happen how can they make it work right from the very beginning the standard talks were never about a political process it was very much focused on the military side and the reduction of hostilities hostilities on on on all sides now where if you know. they talk about the escalation zones and they don't talk about cease fires they don't talk about cessation of hostilities and that in itself is is critical and some analysts
4:20 pm
have criticized it because it may allow and it has allowed the government a free hand on the ground in certain areas while at the same time gaining some political capital internationally that they are trying to reach some kind of agreement on the ground and that is very problematic now the best they can get out of this is really the point of policing that we need people to be on the. to be able to ensure that whatever they agree on can be delivered and can be monitored and reported upon and actions has got to be taken against the side that doesn't respect the deescalation principle and that very problem i think it's unlikely to happen i think with the parties that are involved in the talks at the moment because their opposition do not trust that the iranians or the russians and the syrian government the regime does not trust turkey and i think maybe the
4:21 pm
time has come to introduce an external actor to come and do this properly so that these. protected and external actor ok point number one who would it be point number two the reporting system and the administration of that and the reaction to it how do they structure that so it's meaningful so it actually achieve something. if you can say who it would be because nations have got to volunteer and there are some nations that have been distant enough from the conflict but it is in their interest to see it resolved and i think may be able to convince their. own people that it is worth taking that risk but the issue is going to be those zones and they're talking about four zones more or less one is there's a zone south of syria north of jordan and the water or the or area of damascus and northern hams now each of those i think requires
4:22 pm
a different arrangement because some of those and hems and water are totally surrounded by the syrian regime they have no access to humanitarian assistance they have no access to supplies for the opposition unlike these on an ad libbed and. south of syria so each zone requires a specific arrangement and i hope that this is all being talked about i assume it is being talked about behind closed doors and the opposition are mindful of the details compare for a second for us if you can the optics of the geneva peace process as driven by steph and mr mr the special envoy for syria the u.n. guys compared to what the russians have achieved i use the word deliberate the russians is there any doubt here that a stand a has apparently made progress because the russians are pushing it as opposed to geneva because when the russians went to geneva or went to the u.n. in new york the russians because it was based on the politics of what happens in
4:23 pm
syria in the future the russians always kind of took on took a backward role and they seem to be saying no actually what happens to bashar al assad is down to the people of syria so you've got to sort the situation on the ground first before you deal with the politics absolutely i think the geneva process is slightly more complex because it's aimed at the long term and they're talking about political political settlement what would be. ultimate outcome is by definition that is much more shahrazad and people are asking more questions the standard talks which is. largely driven by russian but also it was very important that the turks changed their mind after the failed coup if you remember in august last year and they jumped into this process is more focused on the immediate focus is to reduce the killing on the ground to try and limit the violence in certain areas to exchange prisoners to allow humanitarian access to those areas so it's really about limiting the humanitarian suffering of the syrian people and within
4:24 pm
those organs is there a weak link in this chain at some point if these deescalation zones are set up and they're running ok if the process of getting people out of the set up and that's running ok so encircled them they move people off to the west these wherever they go is the weak link in the chain here it may be the turks because you know as much as people are saying we need them on board to make this a stone a plan work however mr herder one might choose to react in a particular way that plays to his own agenda i'm thinking when it comes to the p.k. k. because he definitely has an issue there that he says he needs to fight he needs to make his country secure against another organization so his it might be his contribution perhaps might be diluted because of another fight that he's got going on where he's already declared his position he's in his troops moved into northern syria along the border he's even started some attempts for return to reconstruction in the north all are within the mandate of securing turkey and securing his border
4:25 pm
but the real issue here i think is whether he can sustain those and and whether those movements of population is going to resolve the problem i don't think it will resolve the problem i think a lot of this demographic change that happened this time last year in in liberal for example has caused problems elsewhere down the chain and and it's not really. it's very difficult for us to understand why is it taking place people should be protected regardless of their ethnicity or their religion or they stand by and i think those zones should should aim to try and protect the populations within their zones and not move them outside so some very great talks are we appreciate you know of course a return to come on this channel thank you very much thing. now a pretrial hearing on the dissension of cambodia's opposition leader kim soc ha has taken place is charged with treason accused of collaborating with the u.s. to overthrow the ruling party he faces up to thirty years in jail if convicted critics say the case is part of
4:26 pm
a wider effort by the prime minister who can send to cling on to power after a surge in popularity for stock house party that's the c. and p. media outlets critical of the government well they've been shut down accused of breaching regulations the interior ministry has started legal proceedings to dissolve the see an r.p. half of the party's membership have left the country they fled and attacks on pro-democracy n.g.o.s have increased elections a show called for july of next year when sen is hoping to extend his time in office he first came to power in one nine hundred eighty five well the trial of cambodia's opposition leader kim carr has started in norm and he's charged with treason accused of collaborating with the u.s. as we've been hearing he could face many years behind bars when he is in the capital. another court date passes and another no show from kim so the leader of the main opposition party in cambodia the cambodia national rescue party he wanted to be here but again has been told that he didn't need to be that his
4:27 pm
lawyers could the questions on his behalf as they seek to end his pretrial detention again this happened last month as well when they tried to end his detention but at that time he was told that he didn't need to leave prison because they were concerned about his safety this time again they have said that his lawyers could speak on his behalf the opposition and critics of the government say this has nothing to do with the law this is really about politics it's about the governments led by the prime minister hussein who's been in power for more than thirty years wanting to stamp out any credible opposition and they say that he is afraid of losing the general election in july next year and this is not an isolated case the previous leader of the c.n.r. peace sam rainsy is in exile avoiding a jail term for defamation and now the government has asked the courts to completely dissolve the opposition party that court case is due to start on the
4:28 pm
sixteenth of november. traveling to europe. rich again a bit frosty yeah in some places it is certainly but also we've got some motto across the real contrast at the moment take a look at the satellite imagery we've got this big swirl of cloud across eastern parts of europe not low pressure system is certainly giving the threat of some heavy snowfall across parts of russia in particular across the central areas will look in friday quite a most a mist and fog the main issue a little bit of clear weather across southeastern parts u.k. so some chilly weather but generally we've got this model flow coming up from the southwest here now we've had the best the weather really down across parts of the mediterranean which isn't necessarily good news because across northwestern parts of italy. we've seen significant a wildfire issues here i'm not sure the meter logical situation is going to. difficultly to help that's going to remain dry and fine we see the cold air in across moscow temperatures really struggling through to wednesday look at a maximum temperature of one degree but further west the weather conditions
4:29 pm
generally not looking too bad this time of year but. slightly more. talking i'm out there we have a bit further towards the east for parts of asia. stan tashkent respected stan temperature way way above what they should be and should be about ten degrees at the moment fifteen fine weather continues through into thursday but the weekend those temperatures should be diving by at least ten degrees. richard many thanks still ahead here on the news for you anger on the streets is concern grows about social cost of new reforms in argentina. and we look at some of britain's best buildings as the architects vying for the u.k.'s most prestigious industry awards. and sport tiger woods and his plans for yet another comeback.
4:30 pm
when they're on line we were in hurricane. almost like thirty six hours these are the things that new york has to address or if you join us on saturday i'm a member of the ku klux klan but we struck up a relationship this is a dialogue tweet us with hash tag a stream and one of your pitches might make an actual join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. every dude is being analyzed it's being weighed and measured the for intelligence agencies are there to do things in secret that are on lawful or politically embarrassing all of the colleagues that i knew chose to retire from the. and i say we could not stand by and see all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance digital dissidents at this time on al-jazeera.
4:31 pm
there we are here we go let's get you right up spittle our top stories so far today the deposed catalan president. has spoken for the first time since charges were filed against him and secessionist leaders for declaring catalonia as independence from spain he met his lawyer in brussels on tuesday but says he's not in the city to seek political asylum. locals are reportedly looting an australian run prison camp on man asylum and poppy new guinea six hundred refugees and inside they are refusing to leave the australian government has been forced to close the facility by papua new guinea's supreme court. at least sixteen people have been killed in
4:32 pm
airstrikes in the eastern libyan city of has been besieged for more than a year by armed groups loyal to the renegade general who after he's denied carrying out the strikes. let's get more now on the investigation for you russia's foreign minister says allegations his country meddled in last year's u.s. presidential elections are quote fantasy's his comments come a day after the first charges related to moscow's involvement in the election were unsealed in a u.s. court let's cross live now to the white house and my colleague kimberly health there's this stat running around this morning saying one hundred twenty six million people on facebook read or engaged with something that originated at some. facebook bought social media bought fall someplace in russia so it can't be both i mean the russians were involved all they would know was the feeling that. i think there's an
4:33 pm
overwhelming feeling that in fact there was russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election that is certainly the conclusion of lawmakers on capitol hill and of course there are hearings exploring that further with a large number of tech companies who have a direct involvement in whether or not these ads are placed exciter of that certainly many top lawmakers believe influence the u.s. election but i think what has been. settled on in the united states at least for now is that it didn't impact the outcome of the election but you have to look at again those charges that were put forward with regard to robert muller and his investigation into whether or not there was possible collusion between russia and whether or not the truck campaign had any involvement in that and whether that also impacted the election is certainly something that is dominating the headlines here in the united states what we're seeing really is an administration that is taking a two pronged approach very much on the defense of well also claiming it has
4:34 pm
nothing to hide we've seen that evidence to in recent tweets coming out this morning from president donald trump where he is certainly once again taken desire to social media on twitter pointing to george papadopoulos a name that surface was somebody who has pled guilty to lying to f.b.i. investigators as part of that investigation distancing the white house distancing itself from the president's calling him a liar on twitter and also a low level volunteer and also once again reiterating when it comes to the former campaign chair paul manner for that the allegations he is charged with a fact had nothing to do with the campaign that it preceded his involvement but certainly i can tell you that that is not taking away any of the spotlight as the president had hoped this is certainly dominating the headlines here in the united states right now. what are we to make of sarah sanders the press secretary news conference what eighteen hours ago now where she spent the first ten minutes of it talking about some sort of model for tax reform then she started answering
4:35 pm
questions but she wouldn't be drawn on the reality and when it comes to the papadopoulos individual you know if the word is not before the campaign surely the words should be because of the campaign because the indictment the timeline for the indictment actually straddles from before the campaign up to and including the beginning of the campaign. i think there are couple of things you have to take away from all of that the first thing is when it comes to sarah sanders and that story that preceded her press briefing on monday what's happening there and what we saw on of the president's tweet just in the last hour or so as well is when you're on the hot seat this is standard from the political playbook in washington that goes back many administrations when you're in trouble you try to divert attention and that's exactly what happened sarah sanders tried to focus on talking about tax reform that's something the president has done in the last couple of hours with his tweets talking about the media needs to focus on the massive tax cuts for the
4:36 pm
middle class again that's not the media focus what i think in all of this is concerning for the white house right now when we talk about papadopoulos that individual that is an advisor was an advisor to the white house until march is that he has pled guilty and appears to be cooperating with the moller investigation that is concerning for this white house because what he does is he really in the indictment if you read it tends to lay out the template at least for collusion something the white house has repeatedly denied he according to the indictment acted as the go between suggesting setting up meetings between russian nationals and trump campaign officials it's something the white house has repeatedly said that was rebuffed the president has said this again on twitter that he's a liar in calling him a low level volunteer but again cooperating with the muller investigation problematic for the white house because it suggests that this investigation is methodical it's moving quickly and there could be further charges do you think do
4:37 pm
you get the feeling where you are kimberly that the political right wing in the states is now kind of rallying the horses if you will in as much as you know just watching international news channels last night we were talking about my love for c.n.n. the b.b.c. talking about mount a for one point last night folks news we're talking about cheeseburger movies i mean literally they're obviously all formulating a formal response because the they maybe feel slightly uncomfortable no. indeed i mean this is problematic given the fact that. you know it can be said if if everyone is under the microscope eventually we can all be found guilty of breaking some sort of rule regulation or law you don't want to be in the hot seat you don't want to be in this position and the fact that there are such powerful charges criminal charges against a former campaign chair paul amount of force is troubling for this white house because there certainly is the effort it appears to to try and get him to cooperate
4:38 pm
against perhaps a larger target mean donald trump now as you point out the conservative media in the united states is certainly working very hard to downplay this story in fact we saw the chief of staff john kelly on fox news in the evening monday evening here in the united states again trying to brush aside the suggesting the moller investigation is wrapping up very quickly and also trying to redirect attention to a story that has not gained wide traction but has gained some traction in the conservative media and that is you're reining in jail that was approved by the state department hillary clinton was the head of it in two thousand and ten this is certainly something that has not been proven that hillary clinton had any direct knowledge of but certainly this is something that sarah sanders john kelly the chief of staff have repeatedly as well as conservative pundits here in the united states tried to get the media attention on but i can tell you right now it is not getting that wide spotlight that many in the conservative side of the united states in terms of voters and pundits are hoping can believe super briefly because we
4:39 pm
might run out of satellite time you and i which is you know any more indictments today during the course of the coming week. certainly it looks like right now this is a methodical investigation it doesn't appear that there are any imminent but of course that could change as news in the united states tends to change by the hour this cycle moving very very quickly so it's hard for me to prognosticate on that one i expect it's unlikely but i can't be certain and you're so good at prognostication kimberly good to talk to you as ever thanks so much talk she said. she had returned she has more now on the main players in this unfolding political drama and who else could come under the spotlight. for is seen as a pioneer in selling access to the us presidency he used his republican party times developed during the gerald ford and rolled reagan areas to market a variety of warlords and dictators to washington's political establishment among his former clients jonas savimbi of angola ferdinand marcos of the philippines and

4:41 pm
with a russian national adoption is reported to have offered to arrange a meeting between donald trump and vladimir putin during the campaign an offer that trump staffers declined however there was discussion apparently at a senior level about the young staffers proposals for contact with russia meanwhile several other figures in the trump campaign are being investigated the special counsel's investigation continues and they will be looking into all sorts of other people who are involved in this matter clearly they're looking at jared questioner and donald jr so i think that there are many more months to go and it is quite likely we'll see other indictments in the future not of the charges against man a for. related to allegations that the trump campaign could a new did with russia in an attempt to influence last year's presidential election but the decision by the special counsel to choose monday the same day that those two men were indicted to announce the plea bargain deal he made with papadopoulos
