at this time on a just. when the news breaks that it is an insurrection great change going through the streets of the us and the story bill it's. much better marketing. when people need to be heard they thought they were american until they broke the law and now they're deported to cambodia al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you most award winning documentaries and live music on and on line. cattle and he's deposed president as a wanted man after spain issues an international warrant for his arrest for rebellion sedition and misuse of funds.

i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera life and hall so coming up. russian and syrian troops launch an offensive to retake a border city under our control in syria. what is going on on models i love the movie the crisis and no one will help us a desperate plea from hundreds of refugees who say they have been abandoned on mannus island. to the new wave of artisans in hong kong waving modern life and to an ancient craft. an international search and arrest warrant has been issued for deposed catalogue president carlos put him on spanish prosecutors want to investigate him for rebellion and sedition over last month's declaration of independence but the sacked leader is missed two days of court hearings in madrid. and brussels where he

intends to challenge any attempt to extradite him to spain but he has also said he's willing to cooperate with belgian authorities elgin has twenty four hours to react to the european arrest warrant several months aides are also being sought so catalans views about all of this the really split over how the deposed president has handled this crisis. she could getting that in india the new i want catalonia to be independent and i think all politicians are doing everything possible so they can help calm the public we are suffering a bit because spanish politicians are playing like a cat chasing a dog but i think it's not going to let us down you know she defends having to do you need i don't know what beliefs they have but when someone does what he's done and calls for independence and then flees that's not good he's fleeing from the law the president has to fulfill the law if he starts doing something outside of it that is going to lose everything he stated traitorous following the developments in brussels so david fishman has said that he would fight you know extradition being

basically forcibly and sent back to spain but is there any reason to think that he will voluntarily appear before court today. well i just you know what the procedure is the federal prosecutor's office here which received the warrant studying the paperwork they'll then hand them over to an investigative judge and a spokesman for the prosecutor's office said that they will get the papers to an investigative judge either today or on sunday and that means that bush tomorrow and the rest of his cabinet ministers have twenty four hours to appear before that investigative judge if they don't then the police will be sent to arrest them but it is very clear that bush tomorrow is actually going to cooperate as he said with the belgian courts so he will resent surrender and appear along with his. cabinet

ministers depose cabinet ministers before that court but we don't yet know when those papers are going to be served to that court but this is under the european arrest warrant procedure and that actually means the whole process can take up to sixty days and in some special circumstances up to ninety days so it's a process that could last for something like three months and clearly when he appears before that investigative judge the deposed president of catalonia will actually say that he has grounds for challenging the basis of those arrest warrants he says that perhaps we don't know what his tactics will be but perhaps a human rights have been abused or that he can use another way of challenging the arrest warrants which is. which is a special way of looking at the laws of the two countries the charges of sedition charges of rebellion rebellion carries a thirty year prison sentence they're going to find out in the court in the court

will judge this whether the rebellion and sedation as defined in madrid as the same as rebellion and sedation are defined here in belgium now that could be a very long process and that would allow i don't think these are the tactics of. i'm on is mrs that would allow them to remain free if they get bail and and carry on with campaigning for the regional elections that have been cool for the sever the twenty first by madrid so they will carry on what they call that peaceful fight for the independence and freedom of catalonia here in inside brussels using the safety and security of the heart of the european union so those are the tactics he intends to remain free but cooperate fully with the belgian judicial system ok david satter live for us in brussels david thank you. and military assault to push out of the border city under its control in syria is underway russian jets are pounding on the syria iraq border in the doors or countryside six civilians were

killed after residential areas were targeted syrian army's elite forces aided by iran backed shia militia and hezbollah fighters are leading the operation on the ground on friday beisel was pushed pushed out of doors or city the armed groups last major urban stronghold in the country the top adviser to iran's supreme leader says syrian government forces will advance soon to retake rock a city tehran has been backing syrian president bashar assad on the battlefield against opposition fighters and i mean you know the americans by locating in eastern iraq are trying to divide syrians into two parts as they tried to do in iraq they won't succeed in syria we'll witness in the near future the advance of government and popular forces in syria and east of the euphrates and the liberation of iraq a city with the latest from hostile to help are his tracking all these developments from ghazi on top on the turkey syria border let's start with. the latest that's happening there and the significance of this. rochelle the russian

airstrikes continue now targeting i said positions on the outskirts of the town of book the syrian military is about fifty kilometers from the town and we're expecting them to engage where they are with fighters later in the day over the last forty eight hours the russians have intensified their campaign against i sell saying that they have managed to destroy. a minister in depose and also fortification post the russians and the syrians believe that some of the top commanders are not operating and will come after the major losses they suffered across the country are civilians who are trapped in the fighting are concerned about the safety activists interval come and say that dozens of people were killed over the last few days because of the intense air strikes targeting i said now we

expect also to see the syrian army and the iraqi army coordinate this military operation for different reasons now i said is on squeeze on both sides from the iraqi side the iraqi side of the army is moving forward towards a from the east the syrian army is moving from al mayor dean towards the the center of the town to see if they would like to cooperate to ensure that i said operatives have absolutely no other option surrender or they would face death ok let's talk about what we mentioned just a moment ago hashmi advisor to iran's supreme leader saying that our focus was going to be on retaking rocco what do we know about that. this comes against the backdrop of some statements made by the military the syrian military that it is determined once it defeats icily in their lives or to move north towards iraq and to take it over and then move to words other kurdish strongholds particularly. now this is something that could potentially create problems not only

. for the warring factions in syria but also for key players like the russians and the americans the united states of america has provided significant military assistance to the us the f. which is a coalition of goodies and factions of the us would like to have a role as a key city in their own. autonomous region they would like to have a state of their own with this if the russians if the syrians move towards iraq absolutely no way that the can defend it without the help of the americans is going to sit down with the russians about a long way towards a political settlement in syria this is what we don't know about because there are still divisions between the two key players about how to move forward the russians would like to stay in power as the americans say that should have no future in the country are they going to agree on a federal state what it what role with the minorities so i think unless the pin

down those details the situation would remain a very explosive in syria have a lot to divisions and competing agendas for sure. thank you. more than six hundred refugees have made a desperate plea to new zealand's prime minister the head of her meeting with her australian counterpart now for years new zealand had offered to resettle some of the refugees that australia locked in its offshore prison camps and an asylum camp was decommissioned on tuesday but hundreds of refugees there they're refusing to leave because they say they're afraid that they'll be attacked by locals we are the international community to discuss what is going on on models i love the movement and human journey and crisis and no one will help us. international community will intervene and we are big. government. because new zealand is the only country today they have been fighting again and again and again they want to get us

that accommodation isn't ready for them yet. and the refugees any why cite that accommodation isn't site by site that it isn't protected from the locals who want to do them harm who don't welcome them into the community and many of those refugees when they have been out of that present the past have. well we spoke to a few of the protesters here and here's some of what i had to say is appalling and . i think i think i think. they're coming. because. it's completely not illegal horrible and i think it's really. really bad to get off. the false bring these men who are suffering. on sunday in new zealand prime minister comes to australia to talk to her australian

says one hundred fifty five million children under five are stunted that means that they are shorter than they should be fifty two million children worldwide do not weigh as much as they should according to their height a condition defined as being wasted obesity too is on the rise in almost every country affecting two billion people a third of men and women in north america for instance are obese that's affecting children as well from both high and low income countries with forty one million children under the age of five classified as overweight corrina hawks is co-chair of the global nutrition reports and dependent expert group she joins us via skype from milan and we appreciate your time what do you think was the most surprising shocking of these findings. this uprising finding is that there's been a tremendous amount. attempting to produce.

and despite the arts need you know these shows that we are not on track to achieve as. the global nutrition targets that we set out that means that we are nowhere close to achieving sustainable development go which cool spending money in its schools we offer cools as a spy to the hard way that we are doing why is that what obviously if if we knew we wouldn't be there but but what has been identified as is the things that are keeping that from happening what's keeping nothing happening that we are working far too much in our sexes. he's going to take action across sectors to help dresses and stand with development goals a global agenda driving development who an integrated vision of development where everyone is connected together to help so each other's problems that we're not

doing in the region he needs you cannot reach out to others and say you want to stand with the production if you want with us more likely to achieve your goals we need sustainable food production so how could she our growth is the same in other areas and infrastructure in how it's just you know areas around equity poverty and women's empowerment in peace and stability we'll only really address when we come together as a community to address. these objectives when you talk about something like malnutrition and this report covered a lot of things malnutrition and obesity both but you know front if you don't really know how they say things work i think you would probably think ok obesity is happening and countries where there is an abundance of resources and malnutrition is happening and poor countries it's a lot more complicated than that though isn't it. i mean seriously we see very high

rates of underweight and stunting very. very few access to it but we actually see obesity growing everywhere we do see the highest levels in the united states for example but we also know that when we see that the most lies is about the increase in obesity. and middle income countries so we have a situation where i can't still have buttons of stunting still have my own each deficiency is also experienced. and obesity is growing i just asked to wait in countries than it did historically and which you can't please so what we see is eighty eight percent of complete and not new analysis which we used to day having a serious burden oh i think too we will have money to shoot because my can be cheap . and media also stubbornly high in all countries including hind

countries ok korea hawks thank you very much for breaking down the study for us i would appreciate it very much thank you very much. argentina's former vice president has been arrested on corruption charges do is the second key official from the government of x. president cristina kirchner to be detained to race a bow reports from venice addis. he was arrested early in the morning argentina's former vice president. was taken away by the police at an upscale neighborhood of one a site is accused of corruption and money laundering. justice is being done. to cut the wings. of committing crimes try to hide their wrongdoing and complicate the case that was decided in that he was called over. who are investigated or suspected of corruption.
