he needs guarantees if he comes back and he wouldn't say how long he'll be away in the organization that's involved in all the big procession demonstrations the mood lifts a little thing it only makes sense that at least part of the government can remain operative outside the country because it would not be safe for them to stay in spain pushed him on spent a low profile weekend apart from a call for peaceful support then came the heat on monday with charges filed and he was nowhere to be seen when he emerged in belgium his supporters have a range of emotions from outright anger to dissent what's the mood like now and has pushed the mall's decision to go to brussels done damage personally i think. it did but it's something that we can only. analyze with time

electoral commission staff all the signs of a country on the brink and it promises to be even a longer process and more painful one israel continues with his uncompromising stand to go back to our top story now and crossed over the bellamy who is live for us in barcelona the story of course being that the pows leader of catalonia has that charges filed against him for the clarion independence from spain so what a lot of that what's the latest that we've heard from spain's national court on this. well re just heard in the past hour or so from. the judge to summon carlist and thirteen other members of the regional government to appear in court in madrid on thursday and friday now she did. didn't make the court make the court appearance and she will issue an arrest

a statement at the end of that specially that we haven't heard any comment after the press conference given by carlists in brussels or the bill hamid with the latest from barcelona thank you. u.s. president donald trump has this missed the importance of a former campaign aide indicted in the russian choir branding him a liar on twitter it was revealed on monday that george papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his russian contacts the president once described the thirty year old as an excellent guy but he now says is one time foreign policy adviser was a young at low level volunteer and proven to be a liar meanwhile two other former trump aides including his former campaign manager paul moran a fourth were charged on monday as part of robert mueller his inquiry the new

developments have prompted russia's foreign minister to again deny suggestions his country interfered in the u.s. presidential election because you know what because. without a single piece of proof we are as you know being accused of meddling not only in the u.s. election but also elections in european states recently there was navigation that moscow decided the minister to appoint in south africa there is no limit to fantasy . meanwhile right now lawyers for social media giants facebook twitter and google are testifying at a congressional hearing in washington d.c. it's part of the investigation into whether russia uses social media to influence last year's u.s. election the three companies have revealed they found more evidence of russian activities on their sites facebook says russia based operatives that published eighty thousand posts during and after the election it estimates that one hundred twenty six million americans could have seen those posts that's about half of the

voting age population twitter found russian linked accounts generated one point four million election related tweets between september and november last year and half of them were automated google says pro russian groups uploaded more than a thousand videos to its you tube service well in his opening address the lawyer for facebook said the company is striving to do better. we have found that foreign actors used fake accounts to place ads on facebook and instagram that reached millions of americans over a two year period and that those ads were used to promote pages which in turn posted more content people shared these posts spreading them still further many of these ads and posts are inflammatory some are downright offensive and much of it will be particularly painful to communities that engaged with this content believing it to be authentic we'll have our times he joins us live now from

washington d.c. so she had what are they trying to achieve with this hearing. but there are several goals depending on which which bit of this the committee and indeed the those those appearing before the committee ones thinking about the committee as a whole clearly wants to know what i actually happened what's the scale of the russian influence on these social media platforms the timeline when facebook google and others knew something weird was happening what they can do about it in the future the democratic members of the committee are keen to keep pushing this idea that russia hijacked the election that the social media activities completely social media activities or russia vindicate their position that one of the main reasons the and i sort of quite recovered from this that hillary clinton managed to lose the presidential election to donald trump was because there was this coordinated campaign from the kremlin that was to destroy hillary clinton in favor of dollar trouble that we've not seen any any evidence of that yet we just had

opinions from various intelligence agencies for the technology companies they want to make it clear to congress that they're taking this seriously they were accusing the past of not taking it seriously now they're saying look we do take it seriously and we're acting and we're going to be able to try and keep investigating this and do something about this but we have to put those numbers into context because facebook and others a look at these numbers seen huge as you say one hundred twenty six million users may have seen some sort of content that may have originated somewhere in russia and so on but if you put that into the context of facebook's entire output that works out of one out of twenty three thousand one out of every twenty three thousand pieces of contents are point zero zero four percent of facebook content may or may not have originated somewhere in russia and may have something to do with the kremlin then what system may have been seen by by viewers what does that even mean to the something just appeared on our facebook feed that influence the election does that have that affect the way that i vote these are some of the more interesting questions that we hope will be explored not only in this congressional

meeting or this congressional hearing but also in the in the hearings tomorrow on capitol hill which are perhaps a bit more substantial of what with the russians trying to do if they were by. this kind of content on social media seems like an odd way to try to influence an election especially since by by facebook's accounting many of these things are paid off to the election so how does that affect the election what is going on i think is what the rest of us want to know who don't necessarily have an agenda and how can we be careful to take a look at all of this stuff without reducing freedom of speech on social media that would be rather a great way to these these hearings could could could move forward although we certainly agendas are going to be on display in these hearings with it's difficult to know whether we'll actually get to those questions well we'll have to see if we do i know you'll be following all developments for us and we'll be checking in with you over the next few hours while this young continues for the moment thank you. and still to come in this half hour of news a shell said a school in one of syria's deescalation killing several children as the latest round of holds. and we look at some of the buildings vying for the u.k.'s most

. cup. al-jazeera world at this time on al-jazeera. now reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera spain's national court has called catalonia is the president to mount to testify on thursday as a processes of rebellion and sedition charges against him for declaring independence from spain kenya's opposition leader raila odinga has called for the result of the presidential election rerun to be an old warning it could undermine

the public's faith in democracy and the lawyers of social media companies facebook twitter and google are testifying at a u.s. senate hearing into russian interference in last year's presidential election. at least five people have been killed in a bomb blast near the u.s. embassy in kabul afghanistan as the fence ministry says at least fifteen others were injured in the suicide attack that happened in an area where many foreign embassies and government departments a base a quarterly report to the u.s. congress has highlighted just how much the situation is deteriorating in afghanistan it says armed groups are increasing their control and territory across the country and civilian casualties are up fifty two percent on last year david said me is a senior associate at the center for strategic and international studies speaking to al-jazeera a little earlier this was his analysis of the report. it's not really possible to

estimate with the kind of precision that they attempt to use what percentage of people are living under taliban control what's really important is that the taliban at the beginning of this fighting season in their operational plan called operation months or after their recently deceased leader their goal was to take a provincial capital and hold it this year they failed in that goal they also wanted to control several provinces by the end of the year they've also failed in that so whatever little marginal games they've made have actually come while they failed in their major strategic goals at the same time a sharp increase in u.s. and coalition air activity has prevented the taliban from carrying out the large scale attacks that they were trying to achieve last year customs officials say iraqi forces have taken control of the country's only border crossing with turkey from the kurdish regional government the harbor border crossing is located within the official boundaries of the semi autonomous kurdish region of northern iraq

which angered the central government with last month's referendum on secession russia has invited thirty three syrian groups and political parties to attend what it called the syrian congress or national dialogue in the black sea resort of sochi in mid november russian officials have indicated one of the points that could be considered would be a new constitution for syria meanwhile a seventh round of talks aimed at ending syria's war has now wrapped up in kazakhstan scapula stunna imran khan has more. the talks in a starter have concentrated on strengthening the deescalation zones in syria established in september those owns include it live province northern homs eastern ghouta and parts of the border with jordan security in the zones has been guaranteed by russia and iran who backed the syrian regime and by turkey who backed the rebels that keeps the foreign powers firmly entrenched on the ground in syria

but the charity international rescue committee is concerned that civilians have been forgotten. the safety of civilians has not improved with the establishment of the so-called deescalation areas with so many armed groups not covered by cease fire agreements we have even seen periods of increased aerial bombardment the idea that peace is somehow broken out in syria is far from the reality we see civilians trapped in the area a pessimistic that the astonished talks will change anything. actually the entire us donna process is a failure it is nothing but empty promises we will do this we will do that all life . the horse start a process is a failure many years have passed since the beginning of the revolution and nothing has changed to me the situation more remain as it is. the syrian opposition also claims civilians are being targeted the escalation areas which are being

breached by the regime in iran on almost daily basis and russia's are going to and it's supposed to do something about that the deescalation zones are in place for another six months however that might get extended but what the a stunt to talk seem to be proving is that russia is leading the charge however they are walking a tightrope between the international community and all the different syrian factions but they do seem to be backing syrian president bashar al assad it's not just the deescalation zones that are under discussion the syrian opposition want a prisoner exchange but there's been no agreement on that so far u.n. backed talks are scheduled for geneva in late november imran khan al-jazeera the star ten people including six children have been killed in the shelling of several rebel held areas in syria one of the attacks in eastern huta which is east of the capital damascus into school thirty people were injured that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights it's another breach of the so-called the
